Built Different
For 40+ years at Leatherman, we’ve prided ourselves on crafting tools that are infinitely useful. But that’s only half the story. Behind the engineering, manufacturing, and design is a spirit of innovation, integrity, and perseverance.
Built Different isn’t just something we say—it’s how we work. Every day, we challenge ourselves to improve, listen closely to your feedback, and refine our craft. This attention to detail starts with choosing the right materials and carries through to the final product. That’s how we make sure everything that leaves our Portland, Oregon headquarters meets our highest standards for quality, performance, and reliability.
Some people may say, just making a knife isn’t what you do at Leatherman. Which is true. What we do at Leatherman is create products that help you solve problems, go on adventures, and pursue your passions, and we’ve done that once again with this new line.
Introducing our newest Leatherman lineup—our family of knives. Each obsessively, meticulously designed to meet your needs. So, you’re ready for the task at hand—whether you’re an outdoor enthusiast, culinary pro, or someone who values reliable everyday carry (EDC). Whatever you do, there’s a Leatherman knife that’s perfect for you.
