I was looking for a JPST again, and it got me thinking. Leatherman is trying to innovate, but also keep costs down, and they've also been going back in time, tweaking older designs.
So, why not have something made in Japan?
I'm not saying move production there. But how about a Japanese branch? Japan are also known for their precision and build quality, and it would keep costs down. And there is history with Leatherman and Japan already, so there would be nostalgic/sentimental value too. Maybe a Japanese line of tools? A folding knife or two?
I'd certainly be interested.
