The classic Swiss Army knife led the way.
Soldiers returning from Europe were impressed with the pocketknife that could do a little bit of everything. The Swiss Army knife became synonymous with multifunctional: A jackknife of all trades.
How about a pocketknife that can do a LOT of everything?
Take a look at the Leatherman Blast Multitool with Leather Sheath
The Leatherman Blast is not fooling around. A strong pair of pliers are the “core competency” of the Leatherman Blast. But it’s just getting started.
Warning: The Blast is not a light tool. You will know it’s in your pocket.
And no wonder. Look at this functionality:
- Needlenose pliers
- Regular pliers
- Wire cutters
- Hard-wire cutters
- Clip-point knife
- Wood/metal file
- Saw
- Scissors
- Large screwdriver
- Small screwdriver
- Phillips screwdriver
- Small bit driver
- Ruler (8 inch/19 cm)
- Bottle/can opener
- Wire stripper
- Lanyard attachment
- One double-ended bit
Additional features:
- All-locking blades for safety
- Four screwdrivers, scissors, saw and extra-long knife blade for cutting, driving, snipping, and sawing on the fly
- Directional, open-tooth saw design for easy starting and easy cutting
- Double-ended eyeglass screw bit offers both flat and Phillips driver for driving a wide variety of screws
- 25-year limited warranty for consumer confidence
Get it at Amazon!
Those are a great tool any biker should have. In a pinch this baby may just get you off the road and back to making it home. I had a throttle cable break on me and without one of these Leathermen multi tools I would have been stuck.

The Swiss were always famous for technical preciseness. Ones own swiss wrist watches are just like exception to this rule. However , just before that they released Swiss Army running watches…..
This is the multifunctional Swiss knife I have ever seen, it is not the only usual one we knew.
Wow!I need such a knife for the holidays when I travel in to the woods.
Hi
I think this is different from common knife. I want to see these features.
thanks,
This really great. I think LeatherMan did a great job here. Swiss knives are really important and very convenient tool especially for military men. I sure hope this comes with a pouch, it will be nice if it’s leather.
Thanks for posting this topic. It’s very helpful because when you do carpentry and you lost your other tools, maybe you can use your pocket knife as a substitute.
Hi Michael, always curious about which articles readers enjoy the most.

My brother is fond of collecting and using knives because he’s into martial arts. Actually, one of his favorite collections is his swiss knife that he always bring whenever he’s out for hiking. I will let him know about this swiss army knife cause he’ll truly enjoy it.

I still think that these army knives are magical, although I am an adult. I remember how my father pulled it out when I was little, and showed me how much it can do. Now, my hubby has one and I am still amazed by the complexity, yet simplicity of this tool.

Hi Claire, the shipping weight is 4.2 ounces so it’s about a quarter pound of tools.

I’m impressed, even as a girl. I bet that thing would drag down my purse like a brick. How much does it weight anyway?

Thanks for the great review. The number of functions it provides, Leatherman is surely going to be a hit. I like the warranty they are offering. Never heard about the superstition that you have mentioned in the comment. I heard that gifting sharp objects ends the relationship.
LOL, Steve. Gifting sharp objects at the proper velocity is key.

No license required, John, but here’s an old superstition. If you receive a knife as a gift, to make sure you don’t cut yourself, always pay the giver at least a penny. Paying a penny and being careful are how cowboys and other superstitious folk have safely used knives for thousands of years. I think that’s how the story goes.

Hmm, I never heard of that superstition thing. I actually received a leatherman knife as a gift last Christmas, but didn’t give any money to the person who gifted it to me. But thankfully I haven’t injured myself (yet).
Joking aside, leatherman knives are really great. The one I got as a gift has been in my pocket since the day I got it and I cant recall how many times I have used it for so many different things. It should be called super tool or something like that.

Satrap, “super tool” would be a better name for the Leatherman. It’s never too late to “pay” the person who gave you yours (although they may think you are crazy). It’s a tradition in my family. Does it work? Heck no! But maybe it reminds us to always take care.
