Leatherman Multitool

Leatherman is a legendary American brand synonymous with high-quality multitools and pocket knives. Founded in 1983 by Timothy S. Leatherman and Steve Berliner in Portland, Oregon, the company was born out of Tim Leatherman's personal need for a tool that included pliers while traveling through Europe.

Today, the brand remains a privately held entity and continues to manufacture its products at its headquarters in Portland, Oregon. While some high-quality components are sourced internationally, the design, engineering, and final assembly are strictly maintained in the USA to ensure the durability and precision the brand is known for. The company remains under the control of its founders and their families, preserving its status as a quintessential American manufacturing success story.
