For more than four decades now, Leatherman has dominated the multi-tool market by consistently offering an unbeatable mix of functionality, quality and variety.
Regarding the latter, the brand now makes more than two dozen different multi-tools to suit your needs, not to mention an impressive little line of “single-function products” aka knives.
Last year, the Portland, Oregon-based outfit embraced a new approach to boost its range, steadily adding protective Cerakote treatments to a number of its most popular products, with great success.
There is perhaps no better evidence of the appeal of this experiment than the fact that Leatherman has doubled down on it.
Following last week’s seasonal drop with three new treatments means the small wonder known as the Leatherman Micra is now available in a more diverse mix of function-forward hues than ever before.
Finish tough
For those unfamiliar, Cerakote is all the rage these days, for good reason. Applied as a thin ceramic layer, the treatment boosts resistance to abrasion, wear, corrosion and chemicals.
No wonder it’s been popping up on all sorts of products lately, not only pocket knife blades and multi-tool handles but also gravel bike forks and motorcycle engines, to name a few.
