Then, sir, you are miles ahead of the Dixie Chicks.
Incoming consequences.
Gerber products carry either a Limited Lifetime warranty or One Year Warranty. When you buy a Gerber, you're not just buying a knife. you're buying a legend.

As if John Kerry has ever even used a Leatherman.
Unless they make a version for girls that includes a nail file and a travel mirror.
Sounds like Leatherman forgot outdoorsmen were conservatives. Never bought Leatherman products, never will.
Thanks for posting this. Once bought one as a gift for somebody. Never again.
I can live with his views and his vote for Kerry. The Army is issuing leatherman tools to every soldier deploying to Iraq so I guess this makes him a war profiteer.
I won't necessarily boycot leatherman tools. I'll try to find another product that is similiar and if the choice is similiar in quality and price I'll buy the alternative.
You play, you pay.
I carry a Leatherman Wave on my belt at all times. It is the last Leatherman I will thus carry. I start shopping for a new tool tomorrow.
This guy tried to used his position to influence other voters. I have no sympathy for him - if his business dries up, maybe Kerry or Soros can put in a big order.
Good. The free market at work.
The company made a huge profit from Operation Iraqi Freedom. Before a certain division deployed in 2002-2003, you couldn't find a Leatherman or Gerber in southeast Georgia. They had all been sold to deploying troops!
A multi-tool was hanging somewhere on the body of just about every GI that helped take down Hussein.
I think Gerbers a better-made, anyway, so no real loss for me or for the war-effort.
My leatherman rusted and I have just let it go. I think now I will take advantage of the warranty.
Thanks for the thread.
whats interesting is leatherman is right by PDX which is a stones throw from the Al Queda who were taking target practice in a quarry across the Columbia a few years ago.
Mr. Leatherman may make a good product, but his political decisions lack.
Bought a Leatherman years ago and hardly ever use it because Gerber is better.
I will never buy one of his products, and he can take it to the bank.
Dear Sir,
You are of course free to express whatever opinion you like - even if it does cost you your company.
Why can't these fools just keep their opinions to themselves, just shut up and sing do business (so to speak)
I was in a mechanized infantry unit in the mid 70s (retired from the Army in 1992). Somebody had a leatherman and tried to use it on a bolt in the engine compartment. The bolt won and the leatherman broke off. Since then I've never bought nor used one. I don't trust them. They aren't "G.I. Proof" and are, thus, useless in the field. I needed tools 100% working 100% of the time.
