Leatherman Skeletool KB

The Leatherman Skeletool KB is a lightweight folding pocket knife that embodies the minimalist design philosophy of the iconic Skeletool line. Introduced by the Leatherman Tool Group, this product focuses on portability and essential utility, featuring a high-quality stainless steel blade and a built-in bottle opener. It is a staple in the everyday carry (EDC) community due to its compact size and rugged reliability.

Manufacturing of Leatherman products remains centered in the United States, specifically at the company's factory in Portland, Oregon. While the brand takes great pride in its American heritage, it specifies that its tools are 'Assembled in the USA' using a combination of domestic and global components. This allows the company to source specialized materials and components, such as specific steel alloys or cast parts, from international suppliers while maintaining final quality control and assembly within the US.

Since its founding in 1983 by Tim Leatherman and Steve Berliner, the Leatherman Tool Group has remained a private, family-owned company. It revolutionized the hand tool industry by inventing the world's first pliers-based multi-tool. Today, the brand continues to operate independently from its Oregon headquarters, resisting the trend of acquisition by larger conglomerates to maintain its focus on innovation and its famous 25-year warranty.
