FAQ

What’s the difference between a fixed blade knife and a folding knife?

Fixed blade knives are stronger and more durable, making them ideal for outdoor survival, camping, and heavy-duty tasks. Folding knives, however, are compact and portable, perfect for everyday carry and general utility.

How do I choose the right knife for my needs?

If you need a durable and strong knife for outdoor activities or survival situations, a fixed blade knife is the best choice. For everyday tasks, portability, and convenience, a folding knife or multi-tool knife is a great option.

How should I maintain my knife for long-lasting performance?

Regularly clean the blade, keep it sharp with a quality sharpener, lubricate the pivot (for folding knives), and store it in a dry place to prevent rust or corrosion.

Are your knives suitable for outdoor and survival use?

Yes, our fixed blade and folding knives are designed for rugged outdoor conditions, including camping, hunting, and survival situations. All of our fixed blade and many of our folding knives are made of MagnaCut® steel which is very corrosion-resistant.

Are Leatherman knives made in the USA?

Yes—Leatherman knives are proudly made in the USA at our manufacturing facility in Portland, Oregon. That includes our premium fixed blades and select folding knives, which are crafted using high-performance materials like MagnaCut steel and G10 handles.

Do Leatherman folding knives come with a warranty?
