My review of the new Leatherman Free K4 Knife/Multitool. Christmas is fast approaching, so I have included a list of Leatherman multitools as well as $40 and under multitools for your gift giving needs. Enjoy! :D
Great review! Ty. $90.00 is too much. Wish the scales came in different color options. I always prefer the trapper castrator-blade over the sheep's foot.) Probably won't be chasing after this model. Leatherman needs some new models with removable/replaceable tools (like Surge's file/saw), as I keep whining....
Additional colors would be a great idea, I think a red one would be good. I think they should change the grind to a partial flat. Maybe a bit driver instead of the awl and pry driver.
Buck has discontinued their X-Tract series, but they are worth picking up if you can find one. Notable larger than the K4 though, so a bit different category, not as easy to carry.
Wish it had better steel on the knife. Only thing keeping me from buying on. Until then I’ll wait and see if it’ll go on sale plus maybe a coupon code.
I agree, Leatherman has been slow to respond to the call for better steels. At this point, so many people have requested it, Leatherman should do it, even if they don't agree.
I want to apologize in advance for this really long comment maybe I should have made a video but think about what I say in this comment. I just commented on several channels that I bought 10 knives mostly budget a few mid range there are so many knife companies out there that cost a lot so I got me a dremel tool with all of the bells and whistles I’m going to start or I have actually started modding all my knives like you I put finger Choil on the ones I wanted I’m dyeing scales chamfering edges blade jimping and cutting down large flipper tabs making the have jimping and geometrically better on the deployment mirror polishing modding scales to have better traction the best thing it doesn’t cost a dime unless I buy light colored scales for my para 2’s and 3’s to dye them it’s away to to make little tweaks that make it my own sprint runs lol...I’m tired of buying someone big companies knifes and there is no way to upgrade unless you go sprint or black class or gold class or whatever I am my own Continued quality improvement if I see a knife I like but I say oh only if it had chamfered TI or if it had this or that on the knife then it would be perfect well now I can do that and make myself the perfect budget or mid range knife you did a great job on yours but I’ve been thinking of starting a channel where I only do mods to existing knife just making them a lil different and maybe people will like it better or do it themselves cuz I’m not going to start taking orders and opening books I will have secret ideas and ways of doing things. I have had enough of dealing with zt lack if innovation or I say designers block BM is perfect to do a whole bunch of mods and these Chinese are starting to beat us in the knife making arena so I will make knives that are already good hat much better like a knife where you can’t get to the liner lock well I would chamfer it away and smooth out the liner lock to feel like a lock bar. Oh you don’t like the sharp hot spot from the jimping well grind it down yourself instead of waiting for the companies do then add $50 to the price there are a million upgrades you can do. I have a bunch of copies from AliExpress of course no logos or anything there were for my own use and yes there copies if existing knives by big companies so I have started modding them I have about 10 mods of all kinds of different lil tweeks here and there. My only problem is I don’t have the appropriate knowledge of how to start a channel or advice or I’m a little hesitant and reluctant I don’t know the first thing about having and maintaining a channel oh I have really good other ideas as well. I would need support from my peoples whom I subscribe to to help me do it right I don’t want be another reviewer. I will be behind the camera and simply talking about my mods and upgrades I want to make sure people don’t think there customs or mid tech it’s just little ol me putting micarta or CF or unique G10 one a pm 2 or on CJRB, or Civivi, Steel Will ect... dyeing the scales I would buy plates of the material and make the custom scale myself but not sell it because it’s one of a kind doesn’t mean people can’t do the same. But there are a few unambitious peoplethat it wouldn’t be worth it. It’s not about cost it’s about making something everyone has but make it yours your own flare to your regular knife. it would be really fun and we don’t have to stay on youtube as long as we disclaimi lam a CFO at a high profile finance firm with bit time legal team what I’m doing it might even make the big companies start putting out some good knives. I got excited because I mentioned this to like to like over 10 channels and other reviewers, not just in the knife community and somewhere like hell yeah for sure I see a future but I need help starting out who would help a small knife guy with a flash of genius sorta anyway. I’m so excited this could be very good with the correct help. For real we can go international while making sure it’s all about fun knives and making sure the community of people involved keep there head proportionate and stay humble because whatim thinking is actually really easy we won’t be violating any copyright issues all we are doing is the same thing that people already do in a different way meaning of adding aftermarket parts to a car or lifting truck but we build them and mod them ourselves. No selling whatsoever we never make one knife we show them how to do it themselves and make big money on RUclips Instagram Facebook people are already doing just not big in the knife collector enthusiasts community to bring awareness that just because guys and gals like kniv s were not crazy and it would bring attention to the greatest community of people out there. Nothing against Guns but hat would have to be left out knives only Guns are too political. Sorry again for the long comment but if you read it something inside you is thinking about it.
Sounds like a great idea. I don't think there would be any problems with the companies, modding is perfectly legal :] I feel it will be most successful if you tailor it to people who don't have much experience, that is the problem, not many machining skills in the population anymore, so if you can teach people things that dad should have taught them, you will generate much loyalty, love, and support!
WeAllJuggleKnives for sures thank you for the advice you have the right idea I’m thinking about there some other ideas mainly the end result and the easy stuff done on budget knives high end knives don’t need my idea well most of them thanks for responding in a positive comment peace
My review of the new Leatherman Free K4 Knife/Multitool. Christmas is fast approaching, so I have included a list of Leatherman multitools as well as $40 and under multitools for your gift giving needs. Enjoy! :D
A solution in search of a problem.
That definitely seems to be their new design philosophy :D
WeAllJuggleKnives I did buy two of the roxon knife scissors based on your excellent review. That’s better than this and cheaper.
I’d buy it. For $25. No way in heck am I spending that much money on a knife though lmao.
Great review! Ty. $90.00 is too much. Wish the scales came in different color options. I always prefer the trapper castrator-blade over the sheep's foot.) Probably won't be chasing after this model.

thank you for a fun presentation.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great review, but the 420HC steel is a hard pass especially for the price.
Great review! It's expensive, but the looks make it up for me. No money to buy, but really would love me one if these.
Thanks, bro! It is an attractive design!
I'll stick with Victorinox
Please compare this to the buck multi tool that's similar...thanks!
Buck has discontinued their X-Tract series, but they are worth picking up if you can find one. Notable larger than the K4 though, so a bit different category, not as easy to carry.
Victorinox scissors are hands down the best..... ever.
What about the ergos? Mostly the base of the handle (the tool pivot point) looks ENORMOUS! What is the thickness in that area?
The thickest part of the spine side of the handle is about 5/8th of an inch, and then the pocket clip adds some bulk, too.
Cool, I use a Leatherman Wave or my Vintage Gerber Flick. I would like to see you do some M48 or Honshu videos & Reviews. My Best old Friend
Thanks, bro! They do have a few new tomahawks in the M48 line I can check out :D
what does hard carbon stainless how can a carbon steel also be stainless some one please help me out here
High carbon stainless usually refers to 420HC. Hope that helps.
@@WeAllJuggleKnives yeah thanks
Wish it had better steel on the knife. Only thing keeping me from buying on. Until then I’ll wait and see if it’ll go on sale plus maybe a coupon code.
Yeah I agree. They have S30V or 154CM on Skeletool CX, and Charge, it seems like 420HC is a step back.
Great vid thanks for the review
Thank you, my friend!
Good review !!
Thanks, bro!
Lol awesome review brother. 👊🤣👍
Thank you, broski!
Wait this isn't ave's channel i gotta go! Also my mind is the gutter.
But I got the gloves
awesome
thanks for watching!
Big Ups on the Bok Choy!!!
$90.00 for 420 HC? It's not even treated by Paul Bos! Hell why don't we have it made in Mexico, oh wait it is.
They say it is made in USA, but not all parts of it are necessarily from the USA. So, yes, some parts could be from Mexico or China.
Good video cool tool but WAY over price ! 90 bux for 420 steel come on leatherman
I agree, Leatherman has been slow to respond to the call for better steels. At this point, so many people have requested it, Leatherman should do it, even if they don't agree.
3:16.... Um..
$90 for 420hc...... Uhhhhh no.
I think they are going to hear that a lot :] They should have some people who know folders just advise them on what steels go with what price points.
I want to apologize in advance for this really long comment maybe I should have made a video but think about what I say in this comment.
