He later started to create a knife intended for the Boy Scout of North America. It was a knife with pliers. He continued with a lot of work on this and registered his initial patent three decades ago.

The Leatherman has seen a number of changes when it comes to locking and closing there products each with their plusses and minuses. 11 years ago they started to utilise a liner lock. This made the tools noticeably easier to use and overcame several of issues.

As listed earlier, Leatherman began to make pocket knives in 2005. The blades were straight but partially serrated. In 2006 Leatherman created a gizmo for use in the garden, it was a pruner and they even built in tools to help with gutting kills for those that hunt.

Graduating from Oregon State, Tim Leatherman was awarded top marks in mechanical engineering. This, no doubt, aided him with making his range of products. He later started working on a knife for the Boy Scout of North America. It was a knife with pliers. He kept working on this and pushed through his first patent three decades ago. He then began to see his sales increase when agreeing to add his products to mail order companies including Early Winters and Cabela's. Cabela's is a company that just about everybody would know and is a big boost in the sale of these products.

Later Leatherman switched to a larger and improved facility. There was no turning back. As Leatherman grew to be a leader, not only in multi tools but in the world of pocket knives. In 2007 Tim Leatherman was honored with an induction into the Blade Magazine Cutlery Hall of Fame at the Famous Blade exhibition in Atlanta, Georgia. Tim's pocket knives and multi tools have made a huge impact in the knives market and his multi tools are some of the most popular tools available. Despite the fact that Gerber legendary knives, and Swiss army knives make similar products, the Leatherman tool rises above them - in particular the Leatherman Charge TTi.
