MagnaCut® Steel
Leatherman is always pushing boundaries with what's included on their new tools, the Leatherman ARC has taken an revolutionary step by being the very first multi-tool on the market to come equipped with a MagnaCut® steel blade.
MagnaCut® steel is currently the talk of the knife world, with its biggest selling points being its high toughness, high edge retention and high corrosion resistance. This is due to MagnaCut® being a truly premium steel due to its composition and manufacturing process.
What this means in simple terms is this stainless steel blade will keep its sharp edge for longer, take more punishment and not corrode as easy as other blades on the market. "There are no real tradeoffs with MagnaCut. It performs very well in each category" is what Dr. Larrin Thomas said in an interview with Leatherman (Leatherman, 2023).
MagnaCut® is ideal for use on a multi-tool due to the blade being pretty good in all situations, allowing you to get more life from your multi-tools blade.
The handle and blade are also coated in DLC coating which provides superior durability and corrosion resistance.
Ease Of Use
The Leatherman ARC takes advantage of Leatherman's most advanced FREE® technology by using magnets to allow for easy one hand opens without the need for fingernails. The locking system also provides a satisfying click when it locks into place which provides reassurance that you're ready to go.
Best-In-Class Multi-Tool
As well as having these additional features such as a premium blade and and magnetic locking, the multi-tool itself uses Leatherman's most popular tools and improves on their design compared to previous models. Coming with 20 tools in total from the large and small bit drivers to the diamond-coated file, this is still a top of the line multi-tool before you get to standout feature, the blade.
The ARC also comes with a partial bit kit, allowing you to swap out the driver head whenever the job requires it. This is accompanied by a premium sheath which can be attached to a belt or backpack with ease, allowing easy storage and access to your Leatherman ARC at all times.
The Leatherman ARC is the perfect multi-tool to buy if you need a premium, reliable knife attached to an industry leading multi-tool.
