MagnaCut® Steel


High-performance stainless steel engineered for toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance.


  • Edge That Lasts. And Lasts.
    MagnaCut holds its sharp edge like a champ—through boxes, branches, zip ties, and whatever else life throws at you. That means less sharpening, more doing, and a blade that’s ready every time you reach for it.

  • Built to Take a Beating
    Dings, drops, dirt—MagnaCut was made for real-world use. It’s engineered for extreme toughness, which means your blade won't chip or snap under pressure. From everyday jobs to unexpected moments, it’s built to stay solid.

  • No Rust. No Fuss.
    Leave it wet. Use it in the rain. MagnaCut’s superior corrosion resistance means it stays sharp, clean, and functional, without babying it. That’s less worry, more work.

G10 Handles


Tough, textured, and weather-resistant composite material.


  • Confident Grip, No Matter What
    Rain, sweat, or gloves—G10 handles keep your grip locked in. They’re textured for traction, so your knife stays steady in your hand, even when life gets slippery.

  • Tougher Than It Looks
    G10 isn’t just strong—it’s practically unbreakable. Made of layered fiberglass soaked in resin, it shrugs off hard knocks, it doesn’t corrode, and doesn’t flinch at heat or cold. That means your tool lasts longer, works harder, and looks better doing it.

  • Lightweight, Without Compromise
    Don’t let its strength fool you—G10 is light enough to carry all day. Rugged performance, no bulk.

  • Feels Right in Your Hand
    Whether you're prying, slicing, or fixing on the fly, G10 gives your tool a purposeful, satisfying feel. Durable, grippy, and intuitive confidence the second you pick it up.

Jimping


A subtle but essential feature that makes a knife feel more secure, intentional, and controlled in hand.
 

  • More Control, Less Slip
    Jimping adds textured notches along the spine of the blade—right where your thumb naturally rests. That means you get extra grip exactly where you need it most for slicing, carving, or precision cuts.
     
  • Confidence in Every Cut
    With jimping, your thumb won’t slide even when your hands are sweaty, wet, or gloved. It gives you better leverage and more confidence—especially in tricky or high-pressure tasks.
     
  • Feels Right, Works Better
    You won’t always notice jimping when it’s there—but you’ll definitely notice when it’s not. It’s the kind of thoughtful detail that makes a knife feel like an extension of your hand. Less fatigue. More control. Smoother results.
     
  • Built Different 
    Jimping is the kind of design detail that separates a good knife from a great one. It’s a small feature with big impact, proving that every line, every notch, and every curve on a Leatherman knife has purpose.

Rounded Radius


The rounded radius of the steel handle is subtle but makes a serious difference in comfort—the kind of hidden engineering you don’t notice until you experience it.
 

  • Comfort That Lasts
    The rounded steel edges in the handle aren’t just about looks—they’re designed to reduce pressure points and eliminate hot spots, ensuring comfort, especially during extended use. Whether you’re carving, slicing, or prepping at camp, this knife feels smooth and natural in your grip from start to finish.
     
  • Form Follows Function
    This isn't just premium design—it’s purposeful. Rounded radii reflect refined craftsmanship and deliver a handle that feels as good as it looks. Clean lines, smooth transitions, and a grip that works with your hand, not against it.
     
  • Built Different 
    Anyone can make a knife sharp. Fewer know how to make it feel right. That’s where a radiused handle shines—it’s that one-second "whoa" when you pick it up, and the all-day comfort when you don’t put it down. Every curve is intentional. Every edge earns its place.

Trac

The Dependable Outdoor Knife

Use For: Field / Outdoor Work / Rural Utility


The Trac is the quintessential outdoor companion, meticulously designed for versatility, durability, and precision. Whether you’re harvesting wild mushrooms or exploring the wilderness, this knife is your steadfast ally. Its robust blade handles multiple outdoor scenarios, with an angled tip that facilitates precise work, efficient cutting, slicing, and chopping. As the most multi-purpose model in the collection, Trac is ideal for general tasks from camping and hiking to harvesting and general fieldwork. Available in three colors: Alpine, Jet Black, and Earth Brown. It includes a premium leather sheath with horizontal and vertical carry options. Made in the USA.


Key Material & Design Features


Hollow Grind Blade Geometry

Creates a thinner edge, resulting in razor-like sharpness for fine, precise cuts. Ideal for slicing tasks. Typically, hollow grinds create a thinner, more delicate edge, which can be prone to chipping. However, thanks to MagnaCut’s toughness and strength, Trac offers a sharp, thin edge for precise slicing performance without sacrificing durability. This combination ensures outstanding cutting ability without sacrificing edge retention or resistance to chipping.


  • Ease of sharpening: The thin edge is easier and faster to sharpen compared to thicker blade grinds, especially for maintaining a keen edge.
  • Slicing efficiency: The concave grind reduces friction, allowing for smoother, cleaner slices with minimal resistance, especially useful for cutting soft materials like food or fabric.


Drop Point Blade
A versatile all-purpose blade, perfect for common outdoor tasks. Its balanced tip offers precision cutting and controlled piercing without sacrificing durability.


Ferro Rod Slot
Integrated feature for sparking a flame—ready for backcountry fire-starting.


Premium Handmade Leather Sheath
Crafted with American cowhide leather, Trac’s heavy-duty sheath features thoughtful details. Carry it your way—horizontally or vertically on a belt—and has a built-in rotating strap, so you can carry the sheath on either your left or right side.


Satin Stone Wash
Not only does this add an aesthetic finish, but it makes the blade more resilient to outdoor heavy-duty activities and hides signs of wear.

Rustle

The Ultimate Outdoor Cooking Knife

Use For: Outdoor Cooking / Camp Chef


The Rustle is designed as an all-in-one solution for outdoor food preparation, adept at handling a variety of tasks in the camp kitchen.

From campfire stews to fresh fish fillets, Rustle brings chef-level performance to the backcountry.

Key Material & Design Features

Full Bevel Blade
The full bevel grind of our knife ensures optimal slicing performance, allowing you to effortlessly prepare ingredients for your campfire feasts. Its thinner blade facilitates precise cuts, making it an indispensable tool for any camp kitchen enthusiast.


  • Precise cutting and slicing: The sharp, zero-degree edge—with no secondary bevel—allows for highly precise cuts. This is essential for slicing vegetables, meats, and delicate ingredients cleanly and efficiently.
  • Full control and stability: The wide, flat bevels help guide cuts, offering better control and stability when chopping or slicing. This is especially useful when preparing food on uneven or makeshift outdoor surfaces.
  • Ease of sharpening: Sharpening is straightforward since the entire bevel is sharpened as one flat surface. This makes it easier to maintain a razor-sharp edge while camping or on the go.
  • Versatile: This grind is well-suited for both precision tasks and heavier cutting, making it an ideal choice for a multi-purpose outdoor cooking knife.

Santoku inspired blade shape
Best suited for food prep, offering precise, straight cuts and a slight curve for slicing vegetables, meats, and fish. Great for camp kitchen use or culinary-focused knife collections.


Ideal for Camp Kitchen
Whether you're whipping up hearty stews, filleting freshly caught fish, or slicing through tender cuts of meat, Rustle is your trusted culinary companion. Its balanced design and ergonomic handle make it perfect for a wide range of campsite cooking tasks.


Rugged, Waterproof Sheath

Pioneer

The Survivalist’s Best Friend

Use For: Bushcraft / Wilderness Survival


The Pioneer is your ultimate heavy-duty companion—built for survival, bushcraft, and anything the backcountry throws your way. Whether you’re building shelter, starting a fire, or navigating an emergency, this knife is made to perform under pressure. Its robust, full-tang blade features a tanto-inspired shape that excels at piercing tough materials and handling hard-use tasks. Designed as a multi-purpose model within the collection, the Pioneer is especially suited for survival scenarios, rugged camping, and general outdoor activities. Available in two colors: Alpine and Orange Pop. Proudly made in the USA.


Key Material & Design Features

Full-Tang MagnaCut Blade
Thick MagnaCut® steel with a flat saber grind delivers robust chopping power, durability, unmatched corrosion resistance, and edge retention. It’s perfect for batoning, digging, carving, and any unexpected problem-solving you may face in the wild. The full tang design—where the blade extends through the entire handle—ensures maximum strength and durability.


Tanto inspired blade shape

Designed for piercing tough materials and hard-use tasks, such as prying or breaking through surfaces. Excellent for tactical and heavy-duty applications where strength is critical. With a 5-inch blade, Pioneer hits the sweet spot for most backcountry tasks.


Flat Grind Geometry
The flat grind creates a uniform taper from the spine to the edge and strikes the right balance between sharpness and durability.


  • Balanced cutting performance: Flat grinds create a uniform taper from the spine to the edge, offering a great balance between sharpness and durability. It’s versatile for slicing, chopping, and general use.
  • Strong and durable: The edge is thicker and more robust than a hollow grind, making it better for tougher tasks like batoning, wood carving, and heavier cutting.
  • Versatility: Flat grind blades perform well in a variety of tasks—whether you’re clearing brush, cutting rope, or doing bushcraft outdoors. They’re a favorite for all-purpose outdoor and survival knives.
  • Popular choice for outdoor knives: Due to their durability and slicing efficiency, flat grinds are often chosen for survival and bushcraft knives where versatility is key.


Unique, Hybrid Sheath
The Pioneer’s sheath combines rugged American cowhide with the clean, click-in function of Kydex®. Designed for belt carry and with a secure strap, it’s built for durability, comfort, and fast access in the field.
