In 1975, Tim Leatherman found himself traveling through Europe with a tight budget and a cranky car. His trusty 'scout knife' just wasn't up to the challenges he faced during his 10 month journey. Tim wished he had a compact knife with full sized pliers.

When Tim returned to the USA, he put his engineering skills to work and after seven years, the original Leatherman® tool was perfected.

The Leatherman® brand name is synonymous with quality and innovation and is the World leader in multi-tools.
