True Utility Bond Multi Tool

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

Simple, practical, and built to last, the Bond keeps things clean and efficient for everyday and trail use.

Leatherman says: 

Inspired by Tim Leatherman’s original Pocket Survival Tool, Bond pairs classic design with the tools needed to tackle everyday tasks. At a mere 5.8 oz, this lightweight multi-tool provides 14 essential implements including pliers, a durable 420HC knife blade, and a set of standard screwdrivers. The Bond’s handles are contoured to give you a comfortable grip while using the tools. The color options add a vibrant Cerakote finish to the handles for increased durability. Available in Burnt Sienna, Mossy Slate, and Heathered Cranberry. Each Bond colorway includes a matching nylon sheath. Stainless steel Bond also includes a nylon sheath.

Our Verdict

Weighing 164g, the Leatherman Bond brings back the charm of the original in a stripped-down format that’s useful without being overengineered. The 14-tool setup covers the basics well—pliers, screwdrivers, a knife, and a can opener all work as expected, with enough precision for typical backcountry repairs and food prep. 

The tools were a little stiff out of the box, but they’ve eased in with use. The non-locking blade makes this a viable option for those in areas with strict knife laws.
