In my opinion, this is the best multitool not only among Leatherman, but overall. It has a wonderful mechanism that works flawlessly. You can really access everything with one hand – open, close, and unfold the multitool to use the pliers, knife holder, or something else. It’s truly a fantastic multitool. In my opinion, it’s the best.
Leatherman ARC Talos Multitool
The Leatherman ARC multitool is the first on the market to feature a blade made from modern powder steel CPM MagnaCut. This design gives the blade excellent edge retention, high durability, and very good corrosion resistance. Sharpening this steel is much easier than with other alloys of similar hardness. The blade is coated with a black PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coating, providing additional corrosion protection and reducing glare.
The Talos version features arms coated in Cerakote in brown. The product comes with a 25-year warranty.
Solid stainless steel framework, FREE technology
The construction and tools are made from 420 stainless steel, which has undergone specialized heat treatment, ensuring each element has optimal hardness. The multitool arms are coated with Cerakote in brown, offering high scratch resistance and providing corrosion protection while minimizing glare.
The Arc model features FREE technology, which includes magnetic inserts placed in the arms to stabilize the tool in the folded position. The carefully selected magnet strength and precise component fit allow for easy one-handed opening of the multitool.
main blade made from CPM MagnaCut steel
The Arc model is notable for its knife blade made from CPM MagnaCut stainless steel resistant to dulling, a feature virtually unheard of in typical multitools. The use of high-quality steel combined with the ability for one-handed opening makes the Leatherman Arc a viable alternative to classic folding knives. This steel combines high wear and corrosion resistance with an optimal level of toughness. The blade is hardened to a hardness of 60-63 HRC and coated with a black PVD coating. A thumb stud on the blade facilitates its opening.
Easy opening, Tools equipped with a lock
The deployment of tools in the ARC model is extremely simple—just gently push the edge with your thumb to slide them out from between the arms, then select and deploy the tool you wish to use.
All folding tools nestled in the arms are secured with internal locking system locks, ensuring smooth operation and reliable locking.

Leatherman has released a truly excellent multitool. I am impressed with the quality of craftsmanship and the way the tool opens. This is my second favorite model, right after the Wave+ Polish Army. I didn't choose the set with bits and a holster in the silver version, but I think the Talos color fully makes up for it :) I definitely recommend it!
-
The pliers are very good and functional. A big plus is the convenient access to the tools and the pliers themselves, which definitely justifies the price, as does the excellent quality of the materials and finish. I also have the Surge model, which is noticeably heavier and feels different to use.

This is an extremely solid multitool, the photos don't reflect its workmanship quality. The package was heavier than I expected, and once I took the tool out, I was surprised by the great build quality. The price is high, but the high-quality steel and user comfort make up for it to some extent. I definitely recommend it—you can tell it will last for years.

Unfortunately, the product does not meet my expectations and is not worth its price. I have an older Surge (12 years), Skeletool (about 5 years), P2 and ARC (a few months)—only the P2 was bought outside Militaria.pl. In my opinion, the ARC should cost about 700 PLN. I consider the Surge to be the best multitool from this brand; I judge the rest in reference to it. Pros: Blade material (MagnaCut) – very durable, keeps its sharpness for a long time and is easy to sharpen, good grind for a short blade. Most tools can be conveniently opened and closed with one hand. The multitool also has flat surfaces that can serve as a hammer. Cons: Smaller tools are uncomfortable to open because of small levers. Unlocking the main tools with gloves on requires skill, as the wings are too small. Also, the multitool has minimal looseness. If the Surge were made from better materials, maintained its durability, reduced weight, and had a flat striking surface, it would be much better than the ARC. Would I purchase it again? Probably not. Mainly because of the excessive price in relation to the offered functionality.

The model is solidly built, compact, and the new magnet system works very well. However, I have some doubts about the price – it seems a bit too high for the materials and mechanism used. I’m looking forward to the All-Black version and the option to easily replace worn tools.

A very well thought-out and solidly made multitool. I have used various Leatherman models before, and each of them impressed me with their build quality. In my opinion, the biggest advantages of this model are: high manufacturing standard, easy access to all tools even when the device is closed, practical functions, and intuitive operation thanks to the FREE technology. The case included in the set also fits the multitool perfectly in terms of size. A small downside is ergonomics – because the tools are accessed from the outside, gripping the multitool firmly is not the most comfortable. There are also no spring-loaded pliers, which may be inconvenient for some, but you can live without it. :) For some people, the high price can also be a drawback, as it’s really quite significant. Reviews often mention that, in terms of quality, Leatherman and Victorinox are unrivaled – and this model definitely confirms that opinion. I think it was a good purchase and I don’t regret the money I spent.
