Leatherman warranty for knives & multi-tools
The short version
Leatherman doesn't cover everything, but keeps whole tool and select accessories covered to 25 years. That full coverage is the same as most of the 7 brands we compared, which typically cover nothing in full. You don't need to register to get this coverage.
From Leatherman's published warranty, checked October 2026.
