Product Description:
Leatherman has incorporated both advanced functionality and safety into a top-of-the-line, fixed blade hunting knife. The rotating handle covers the blade for safety, simultaneously exposing a generous gut hook that is easy to hold, use and sharpen. Also included in the handle is an aggressive bone saw that locks into place over the 3.75 in. drop-point blade. The knife blade and gut hook, constructed of S30V® steel, deliver the best combination of edge retention, flexibility and hardness and can be sharpened with conventional stones. Full leather sheath and a diamond-coated sharpening rod are included.
Oregon-based Leatherman Tool Group, Inc. is the creator of the category and the world’s leading manufacturer of compact multi-purpose tools. Owned and inspired by its founder, Tim Leatherman, the company has sold more than 35 million of its versatile tools since its inception in 1983.
Founder Tim Leatherman
A native Oregonian, Tim received his BSME from Oregon State University in 1970. After that, he held a variety of jobs, including positions as an English teacher and a helicopter mechanic. Time spent traveling abroad ultimately led to the Leatherman multipurpose tool concept.
From the beginning, Tim has built the company on a simple philosophy: manufacture product on time, meet specifications, increase value, and provide a pleasant work environment. When asked about the company's devotion to quality, Tim simply replies, "My name is on every tool."
Although he no longer spends much time on the manufacturing floor, Tim is known for wearing his signature red shop apron every day to show his willingness to pitch in wherever needed. In the mean time, Tim is very involved in manufacturing and product development issues.
