Leatherman ARC is the first multitool on the market equipped with a knife made of modern CPM MagnaCut powder steel. As a result, the blade offers excellent sharpness retention, high durability, and significant corrosion resistance. Additionally, sharpening MagnaCut steel is much easier compared to other alloys of similar hardness. The blade is covered with a DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating, which provides extra protection against corrosion. The product is covered by a 25-year warranty.
The construction and tools are made of 420 stainless steel, which has undergone specialized heat treatment, ensuring that each component has the optimal hardness. The arms of the multitool are coated with a black DLC coating, which is characterized by high scratch resistance and provides protection against corrosion while minimizing glare.
The Arc model features FREE technology, which includes magnetic inserts placed in the arms, stabilizing the tool in the folded position. The appropriately chosen magnetic force and precise fitting of the components allow for easy one-handed opening of the multitool.
In the Arc model, the knife blade made from wear-resistant CPM MagnaCut stainless steel catches attention, which is practically unseen in typical multitools. Using high-quality steel, combined with one-handed opening capability, makes the Leatherman Arc a real alternative to classic folding knives. This steel combines high abrasion and corrosion resistance with an optimal level of impact toughness. The blade is hardened to a hardness of 60-63 HRC and coated with a black DLC coating. It is opened using a thumb stud located on the blade.
Opening the tools on the ARC model is simple – just push the edge of the tool with your thumb to make it slide out from the handles. Then, you select and unfold the tool you want to use. All tools in the handles are secured by an internal locking system, combining smooth operation and secure locking of the tools.
