Portland, Oregon 🇺🇸
Leatherman is an iconic American brand based in Portland, Oregon, renowned globally as the inventor and premier manufacturer of the modern multi-tool. The company was founded in 1983 by Tim Leatherman, whose need for a plier-based, portable tool during a 1970s cross-country trip inspired years of prototyping.
Leatherman's defining product, the original Pocket Survival Tool (PST), revolutionized the concept of a folding tool by centering a pair of full-sized pliers within a collection of essential implements. From that first design to their current, highly advanced lineup—including models like the Wave® and ARC®—every tool is engineered for maximum utility, durability, and reliability.
A cornerstone of the brand is its steadfast commitment to domestic production. Every multi-tool is proudly made in the USA at their Portland, Oregon facility, where stringent quality control and advanced manufacturing processes ensure that the tools are built to last a lifetime. This dedication to American craftsmanship, backed by a 25-year warranty, has secured Leatherman's reputation as the dependable choice for outdoor adventurers, technicians, and everyday problem-solvers around the world.
