I agree with the chickens in their evident skeptical take on that 420 blade.

@maxlvledc 8 месяцев назад

K2, K4 in 154cm would be compelling

You cutting the egg had me giggling. Never change, you magnificent weirdo! 🤘🏻

@paullambert4445 8 месяцев назад

Thanks Peter. 420HC is the same steel that Buck uses on their knives. I have a Buck 110 from 1975 with 420. That’s how old that steel is. Even older. Time for an upgrade. 🔪🎸

@ergezinger 8 месяцев назад

I've always liked the toolset on the K4 and T4, and if Leatherman puts a Magnacut blade on them, they would fly off the shelves.

@RobBernhard 8 месяцев назад

Slipping that bit with the egg in there was amazingly unhinged. Loved it.

@charlescollier7217 8 месяцев назад

Completely agree with the conclusion, Pete. The cost of S30V wouldn't break them, but it would make the tool a serious EDC contender.

@shroomsrus5116 8 месяцев назад

@charlescollier7217 8 месяцев назад

@@shroomsrus5116That would take it to a whole 'nother level!

@mikeboyce21 8 месяцев назад

I don't understand why Leatherman would make a blade centric multitool and not give it a better steel than 420. The base model should be 154cm and the upgraded one should be magnacut. And if they wanted a middle ground go for s35vn.

@bernardweaver2416 8 месяцев назад

You hit the nail on the head. There have been a bunch of great knife and multi-tool designs I haven't bothered with because of low quality steel. This design is awesome and is fully ambidextrous which is hard to find in multi-tools. Give me better steel and I'm sold.

@Tony42Rivers 8 месяцев назад

@sswwooppee 8 месяцев назад

If Leatherman partnered with a real knife company to produce the blade in a better steel, they could sell a lot of these things.

@zoiders 8 месяцев назад

To be competitive price wise they would have to outsource to China. Triggering the America First asshats who won't buy it. If it were made in the US then it doubles in price and no one buys them again. 420HC works fine for this type of tool. Just what do you think you will be doing with it?

@Muscovy7 8 месяцев назад

They don’t need a partnership. The Arc has a good magnacut blade. They just need to re-release the series.

@quickcuts3000 8 месяцев назад

how can you say that for sure? wouldn't better steel raise the price? things sell because that are affordable.

@sswwooppee 8 месяцев назад

@@quickcuts3000 I know everything there is to know about the marketing and manufacturing knives and Leatherman branded multi tools. I invented the term knife-or-Leathermanomics in my doctoral thesis. I own the patent on “metal object used to manipulate things with human hand”. Would you prefer to see my résumé to confirm these credentials or speak to my proctologist?

@nvalley 8 месяцев назад

Let's remember that the multitool market is substantially larger than the specialty knife nerd market and the reason they don't do this is because it isn't worth the effort to release exclusives for the marginal sales bump

@joe_a_photo 8 месяцев назад

In some ways it’s better for the wider audience to have a softer steel. In my life, I don’t many people who know how to sharpen a knife. Most people never sharpen their knives and when they do, it’s will a basic pull through sharpener. Imagine sharpening K390 with a $5 pull through sharpener. I wouldn’t want to do that lol. Great video as always

@daeholm 8 месяцев назад

It just seems too bulky and heavy for it's capabilities. If I'm going to lug around a boat anchor in my pocket it has to have pliers.

@primeministersinister625 8 месяцев назад

I discovered recently that the absolute best multitool for my purposes is the diminutive gerber Dime, really all i want in a multitool is a pair of scissors, either twizers or pliers (preferably pliers), and a screwdriver of each type. the Dime has all of them. they arent great or large but they are functional. honestly if gerber made a dime with a refillable ballpoint pen instead of the stupid box opener, and beefed up the philips head, I dont think Id ever shop for a other multitool.

@jeremywilson15147 8 месяцев назад

My Dime doesn't have anything that could be called a Phillips head. Are there different versions? The package opener is probably the tool I use the most out of all of them.

@tombrown4683 8 месяцев назад

Decent multi-tool review with a touch of manical egg sissor cutting thrown in so we don't forget we are on C&A channel. Personally IDC if Leatherman puts a 5 inch bowie blade on their tools. Im still gonna carry a folder of my choosing. I realize they are casting a wide net & many people will be happy with a more knife centric offering. But for me - stay in your lane ! A multi is for tossing in the vehicle or carrying on the job for just in case.

@BrentonCarr 8 месяцев назад

@gnomersy1087 8 месяцев назад

For me it's not that the blade steel is bad I buy plenty of knives with 8CR, 440C, D2, Aus 8, and 1070-1095 steel. The issue is both a budget steel and a premium price. This is a $100 knife. If it was 30-$50 and had budget steel okay sure but when you're crossing over to higher end knives in price it feels like penny pinching to throw on the kind of knife steel that you expect to see in a $20 knife.

@axion8788 8 месяцев назад

Can't understand why they don't offer a version with a super-steel like Magnacut or at least, M390. My current solution is a locking, super-steel folder with a pocket clip and a SOG PowerPint as this provides decent pliers and drivers and will fit in my watch pocket. Lizard, chicken and cat approved, this is the world's best knife channel!

@NMWanderings 8 месяцев назад

Love the blade shape, too bad about the steel choice. I personally would give up the scissors for a saw or a good file though.

@fathersonsurvival 8 месяцев назад

Funny, I use buck 124, its one of my all time favorites. And I love case knives, similar steel. After 80 cuts yeah its dull. But after about 10 passes each side on a super fine diamond stone she's as sharp as I started. and I can do that anywhere by hand.

@leokonge4624 4 месяца назад

Honestly yeah buck and case generally have good heat treatment and geometry which definitely do help them but the ability to touch up my edge on my belt is a big advantage for me

@jameshaulenbeek5931 8 месяцев назад

Cru-Wear! S30V for sure would be a great blade steel. I do think with a slightly wider angle on the 420HC would give it a more robust cutting edge that could last longer - say a 20 degree angle instead.

@griff7749 4 месяца назад

I will say, 420 is very very tough. It's super difficult to actually break or severly damage it. And the way most people use their knives, that's a plus. Us knife nerds sometimes become disconnected from the majority of knife users and their practices. That said, with the prybar and other tools, a more edge holding steel makes better sense here

@hificat101 8 месяцев назад

They always seem to throw one deal breaker into everything they make. With this, it's the 420HC knife blade. With the new ARC, it's the impossibility of buying their proprietary T6/T8 torx bit w/o buying an entire bit kit, and the fact I dont think the tool comes with it. Why do they always do this?

@vJaxz 8 месяцев назад

I’ve never pay any attention to the Leatherman Multi-knives series, I carry both a Wave/Surge + Spyderco If Leatherman can use better exotic steels for the blade itself then I think it’s going to worth my time. At least use steels like S110V. For budget maybe S30V or K390 I don’t think it’s compulsory that Leatherman kept focusing on Stainless rust-resistant steels like 420/440 etc.., I’m sure the owners will take good care of their knives, why not other exotic steels like the Rex121 , Maxamet?

@HellGatefr2 8 месяцев назад

440C can be pretty decent if done properly, I'd prefer it over this 420HC at least S110V is not very tough, and can be nitpicky to sharpen (fracturing of carbide clusters weakening the edge etc), I wouldn't recommend it to the average guy... About exotic extremely hard steels like Maxamet, this level of abrasion resistance is not needed at all in pocket knives, and it can be counterproductive with huge downsides. Only Spyderco fans will accept that their $200+ knife breaks in half when they drop it, or having to repair chips which appear easily and can require a lot of work to fix ! Stuff like S30V is still exotic in my book, but way more balanced and imo more suitable for everyday tasks Magnacut would be suitable too imo, but at the moment it comes with a "hype-tax"

@rocksandrocks 8 месяцев назад

As long as the price is right i dont mind cheaper steels one bit. Sure they dont last as long as super steels, but man you can practically sharpen them with your jeans. No need to invest in crazy sharpening systems if you can get a razor edge with a rock! No hate on good steel though, love me some long lasting edges too

And if you actually wear down the blade, it's 20 bucks for an entire new knife, cheaper than getting a reblade from any company (looking at you BM).

@goncalovazpinto6261 8 месяцев назад

Why didn't they make the other three tools as long as the scissors? Or, they could make the phillips driver as long as the scissors and used some of the space above the two shorter tools to make the phillips head full size. Also, that fat handle with a clip on it doesn't look very comfortable...

@mcsquirgle 8 месяцев назад

I agree 154cm would sufficiently elevate this tool, however I think it's shame that 440c is not used more in the knife market. In my opinion Leatherman, Buck, Case, Gerber and all the well known American Cutlery brands should upgrade from 420hc to 440c. 154cm gets all the attention even though metallurgists like Dr. Larrin Thomas tests have shown 440c to be a better steel in some respects and equivalent in the rest to 154cm
