Leatherman Free

They start with an upgraded platform for a more comfortable grip and added external implements and magnetic closures for easy, one-handed use.

Made In Personalized 8-Inch Chef Knife
For their 8-Inch Chef Knife, Made In went to the knife capital of the world. There, they sought out a family-owned, 5th generation knife maker to create their blades. Combining tradition and innovation, each one is hammered from a single rod of premium French-sourced metal for better stability. It's then finished with a nitrogen treatment, hardening the blade to keep it stronger and sharper longer. A perfect gift for any home cook as it as, or add a special touch with personalized engraving.
