"Natural Progression Unveiled": Leatherman reveals 5 sharp new products, none of which are multitool designs
In 2025, Leatherman, the renowned multitool brand, ventured into a new territory with the launch of their premium knife range. Designed for both everyday carry (EDC) and outdoor activities, this collection offers a variety of fixed and folding knives that cater to various needs and preferences.
The fixed blade knives in the range are crafted from MagnaCut steel, a material renowned for its durability, corrosion-resistance, and edge-retention. The handles are made from tough, textured, and weather-resistant composite materials, ensuring a firm grip even in challenging conditions. The collection includes versatile models such as the Trac, suitable for outdoor tasks.
For those seeking a more portable option, the range also features two folding knives: the Blazer and the Glider. Both knives are machined from 416 stainless steel and boast blades made from MagnaCut steel. The Blazer sports a drop-point style blade, while the Glider features a modified sheepsfoot style. Both knives are secured with an ambidextrous Compression Wedge Lock for safety and ease of use.
The Blazer, priced at $279.99, is a more affordable option in the range and is ideal for cooking at camp. On the other hand, the Glider, priced similarly at $299.99, is minimalist and ideal for fastpacking.
All models in the range are fitted with a deep carry pocket clip that's adjustable for right or left-hand pockets. They also feature "jimping" - a process that cuts ridges - on the knifepoint spine for improved grip and handline control.
The lightest models in the range weigh less than four ounces (104g), making them as portable as a deck of cards. The Pioneer, a heavier-duty model in the range, is designed for tougher tasks and will be appreciated by bushcraft experts.
The Trac, an all-rounder in the new Leatherman knife range, is suitable for various activities from hunting to foraging. The Blazer, on the other hand, is a go-anywhere-do-anything versatile blade, while the Glider is minimalist and ideal for fastpacking.
Leatherman's new knife range is now available on their website and is their foray into the competitive world of premium folding knives. The brand says the new line is "built for those who live with purpose." With its combination of durability, comfort, and versatility, Leatherman's new knife range promises to be a valuable addition to any outdoor enthusiast's toolkit.
In 2025, Leatherman also introduced a new collection that extends beyond their renowned multitool brand, diving into the home-and-garden and lifestyle markets with a line of pocket knives, fitted with a deep carry pocket clip, ideal for various tasks around the house or for personal use.
For tech-savvy outdoor enthusiasts, the new Leatherman knife range not only caters to traditional outdoor activities but also seamlessly integrates with modern lifestyle preferences, such as fastpacking, a popular form of minimalist hiking.
