After 13 years of building EDC gear, Tacray decided to go back to basics with the MT1. Their goal was simple—make a multitool that people would actually carry every day. The team kept hearing the same things: “My multitool’s too heavy,” “I never use half these functions,” and “Why doesn’t it have a flashlight?”
The result is a compact, 2.89-ounce tool that blends thoughtful design with practical simplicity. Rather than cramming in functions you’ll never touch, the MT1 focuses on what truly matters—light, blade, and core everyday capability.
Leatherman has been making multitools since 1983, and over the decades they’ve introduced some serious innovations. Undoubtedly, one of their greatest releases was the Leatherman Wave. When it launched in 1998, it changed the game with outside-opening tools and one-hand opening blades, quickly becoming a fan favorite. In 2004, the design was completely overhauled with easier access tools, a bit driver, and the option for clip carry - upgrades that pushed it to legendary status. Then in 2018, removable wire cutters were added, giving us the Wave+.

I recently received the new U1 Pro utility knife from OKnife and it does appear, at least at first glance, to be an upgrade from the usual utility blade holder folder. I’ve had a few of these kinds of knives over the years and I can appreciate the convenience of swapping out a dull blade for a sharp one, but my overall preference is for a more traditional type blade. Even so, I do recognize that this is a very attractive option for those who don’t know how or don’t like to sharpen things.

What kind of people would write collect and review multitools? Quite simple really- we are designers and do-ers, outdoors types and indoor types, mechanics, doctors, problem solvers and problem makers. As such, we have, as a world spanning community, put every type, size and version of multitool, multifunction knife, pocket knife and all related products to every test we could manage in as many places and environments as there are.
