Leatherman Collection.

Chako · **on:** July 17, 2019, 10:36:01 AM

I have been very patient waiting to see if the new Free series will be sold locally. Not been lucky yet...and I most certainly will need them sooner or later. With that said, here is the current state of my Leatherman section. Of note, I haven't actively hunted down Leathermans for the past few years. I sort of lost interest once Julie Left Leatherman, and the folks that replaced her didn't care about a Canadian. In fact, I would say Leatherman was down right glacial towards Canadians wanting to buy their stuff. That soured me somewhat in wanting to grow my collection. Not sure if things have improved on that front. Also of note, I have noticed that Leatherman is now customizing their stuff...at least in the States. Noted also that I couldn't find anything online in regards to Texas Tool Crafters these days. I would like to point out that much of the fancy stuff you see are from Texas Tool Crafters, and mostly their early stuff before they had to label them as modded..

Upper most drawer. A few odds and ends here. Mostly contains several user Leathermans in their sheaths, Leatherman patches/cards/promo stuff, Universal tool kits, etc., and a bit of overflow from the rest of the collection. For those in the know, there is even a new Victorinox Autotool in its sheath stored here.

Next drawer down are most of the smaller tools. From factory errors to special editions, I have a good assortment of different ones here. Even the two blue plastic presentation cases and the cardboard box in the upper right contain their items.

Next level down, are the Wingmans and Sidekicks, along with anything in the Leatherman family that looks like a Skeletool.

Next floor contains most of the larger heavy hitters.

Next drawer, Charges.

This drawer contains all the Kick, Fuses, and Blast variants that I currently have. Also found here are Waves, Leapes, and a Raptor and Crunch.

Next drawer down contains most of my "regular" sized Leathermans along with anything related to the Juice family. The Minis also reside here.

Next smaller drawer contains Leatherman pocket tools.

A larger drawer that contains a few special Leathermans.

Another larger drawer that contains an assortment of Leatherman stuff. Also found here are a few non-Leatherman items acting as a bit of an overflow for the rest of the collection.

The last of the Leatherman section drawers, containing a few special Leathermans.

A few things I forgot to include. I have a Leatherman display case full of items, and also missing are a Leatherman banner, a Leatherman counter-top mat, and a few extra Leathermans in use.. such as an extra MUT used for my range and motorcycle kit.

Always an enjoyment to see the mad mad collection.

But I really need to ask.. Why are there 2 sets of Leaps?

Simply, WOW.

Great to see there are still names on the forum I remember from the past.
I also remember seeing this collection then although it has expanded somewhat since then

I don't know what to say , I never seen such a nice and huge collection Leathermans. WOW

That is correct. pre and post recall. Leatherman changed the number of grooves on the blade to denote the difference. First gen had 4 thumb ridges. After the recall, only 3 thumb ridges.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments.

That is what this place is about.

I think my browser broke from the lvl of awesome. I had no idea that the skeletool came in that many colors.

The number of amazing tools you have would give me anxiety lol. I only have about 10 leathermans not in pieces and I already want to trim them down because they don’t see much use.

I admire the collection though, well done!

Curious why you have only one Signal and its color variations?

Cheers,
H.G.

I have not kept up in these last few years. The reason is stated in my original ramblings.

If you think that is bad...don't search for my whole collection on this forum. What I posted here is just the Leathermans.

Awesome collection as always, Chako!

Thank you for sharing the photos!

Thanks, Chako!

I've got a long long way to go for that.

But, that said, I think any collection is good when it makes us happy. It is always enjoyable looking at your thorough selections.
