Leathermans are actually manufactured outside of Portland, OR. At their factory you can gaze upon a giant (Golden Gate Bridge Cable Cutting Size) Leatherman. Tip. If you leatherman is broken, send it back. they will not only fix it, but "upgrade it", including handy new features like a cable holder, a slightly better knife etc. Works good to chop up cocaine too (this i have witnessed, much to my disbelief. Sysops, watch your backs. The addicts have more energy and time than you, and need your tool.)
