Leatherman hopes to repeat the success its ‘FREE’ technology brought to the iconic pliers-based multi-tool — now in pocket knives.
Smoother action, more durability, and no more busted fingernails — Leatherman introduces magnetic FREE folding knives.
The T Series (launching this month) and K Series (launching in August) add “first-of-its-kind” functionality that helped reinvent Leatherman’s iconic multi-tool earlier this year.
Both utilize the same magnet-based architecture that brought one-handed opening to the P-Series. Now with a folding knife as the centerpiece, the K- and T-Series focus more on the ease of accessing implements, along with the tool’s increased longevity. Accordingly, users engage the tools by rolling the thumb over the implement, rather than picking at it with a fingernail.
Additionally, due to magnets replacing springs, the FREE series claims it well outlasts the brand’s typical “torture test” standards.
Leatherman FREE T-Series
The first iteration of Leatherman’s FREE pocket knives, the T2 and T4, launch this month. They stand as the brand’s “most compact offering” in the FREE series.
