Leatherman Tool Group, an Oregon manufacturer of multi-tools, partnered with Detroit-based Shinola, a modern design brand that produces watches, bicycles, leather goods, journals and soon audio equipment, to create a limited edition multi-tool specifically for Shinola consumers.
Built from the Leatherman Charge AL, the Shinola Charge AL adds to the multi-tool a matte blue coating and a custom leather sheath. It will have a limited edition run of 500, available exclusively at Shinola retail locations and shinola.com beginning October 1, 2016.
“Leatherman’s heritage is rooted in making quality products made in America. It’s inspiring to work with another like-minded brand like Shinola,” said Bobbie Parisi, VP of marketing and product at Leatherman. “We believe in making products that are built to last, and we’re excited for our fans to get their hands on this limited edition tool.”
Said Daniel Caudill, Shinola’s creative director, “Leatherman is an American brand that shares our brand values and commitment to quality products. We know our customers, especially our watch and bike aficionados, will love this tool.”
