Les Jones: New Leatherman Knives

Tech > New Leatherman Knives

Tactical folders make a ton of sense. Lockback design, able to be opened with one hand. I have a couple of nice ones, but what I mostly carry is a Victorinox One Hand Trekker. It's a tactical folder with all of the usual Swiss army knife tools. The blade is sort of spindly, the scales are a little slippery, and it's not the friendliest to open with one hand, but because of the tools it's the closest I've found to my ideal pocket knife.

Now Leatherman is introducing a line of tool-equipped tactical folders that emphasize a better blade and scales and fewer tools. More details in the PDF.

I'm spoony for this one:

They supported Kerry in '04. That's enough for me. Let me see what I can dig up...

What would you use the 'biner for?

To clip it to clothes or packs, and it doubles as a bottle opener. It isn't obvious from the picture, but the carabiner folds away just like the tools.
