“I found this. Looks like he supported the Kerry ticket but didn’t involve the company.”
Interesting stuff! I had not seen that rebuttal from Mr. Leatherman. I do like his response though. Maybe he did indeed get caught up in making his endorsements public. I have no reason not to believe what he writes. Thank you for looking that up. Leatherman does make some fine knives. I still have several myself. They haven’t gave out yet. When they do, I will consider what replacements are in order.
Thank you for mentioning it. I hadn’t heard a thing about it, so I’ve learned something. I’ve owned a Leatherman for a long time. I finally got fed up with the original model’s pliers refusing to open properly after they had a little age. I launched an effort to find a replacement and looked at every multitool available. The Leatherman “Wave” seemed a huge improvement and it’s what I settled on. I’ve carried this one on my belt for about three years now. Even though stainless, the main blade stays VERY sharp and all the features are usable including the snips that I use more than I ever believed I would. Like you, I’ll evaluate what’s available when replacing it however.
