This is probably Leatherman's best model. It's a pity, however, that at this price they no longer include a sheath or a set of bits, because those should be standard. Even so, it is still an excellent, exceptional multitool that is definitely worth having in your collection.
Leatherman ARC Talos Multitool
Leatherman ARC stands out as the first multitool on the market featuring a blade crafted from advanced CPM MagnaCut powder steel. Thanks to this innovation, the blade delivers exceptional edge retention, outstanding durability, and excellent resistance to corrosion. Sharpening MagnaCut steel is also noticeably simpler compared to other alloys offering similar hardness. A black PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) coating further enhances the blade's corrosion resistance.
The Talos version offers additional distinction with its handles finished in a brown Cerakote coating. Included with the product is a robust 25-year warranty.
Solid stainless steel framework, FREE technology
Constructed from premium 420 stainless steel, the framework and tools are professionally heat-treated, delivering optimal hardness tailored for each component's intended use. The arms of the multitool feature a robust brown Cerakote coating that boasts high scratch resistance, superior corrosion protection, and minimized reflectivity.
Equipped with FREE technology, the Arc model utilizes magnetic inserts within the arms that reliably secure the tool when folded. Precisely calibrated magnet strength and an exact fit between components enable smooth, one-handed deployment of the multitool.
main blade made of CPM MagnaCut steel
Exceptional attention is warranted by the blade, crafted from highly wear-resistant CPM MagnaCut stainless steel—an option rarely seen in standard multitools. Thanks to the use of such premium-grade steel and the convenience of one-handed deployment, the Leatherman Arc sets itself apart as a serious contender to classic folding knives. The steel offers the advantage of high resistance to wear and corrosion while preserving ideal toughness. The blade is treated for enhanced durability, hardened to 60-63 HRC and finished with a black PVD coating. For effortless opening, a thumb stud has been integrated into the blade.
Easy opening, Tools equipped with a lock
Accessing additional tools in the ARC model is exceptionally straightforward—just press the edge with your thumb to slide them out from between the arms, then choose and deploy the desired tool.
An internal locking system secures all tools folded within the arms, delivering a combination of smooth deployment and reliable locking.

Review summary
Leatherman ARC receives high praise for its excellent build quality, durability, and a well-designed tool set suited for everyday carry and outdoor use. Users especially value the MagnaCut blade for its sharpness and edge retention, as well as the FREE system, which allows fast and convenient one-handed access to the tools. Reviewers also highlight the smooth mechanism, strong functionality, compact form, and carrying comfort, and many consider it the brand’s best multitool or even one of the best premium options on the market. The most common drawback is the very high price, although most reviewers feel the quality justifies it. Some users also mention minor concerns about weight, ergonomics during heavy use, the sheath, the incomplete bit set, the limited usefulness of the hammer feature, small play in the mechanism, or occasional quality issues with individual units.

If you care about a great multitool, Military is definitely a good choice. Their prices are often lower than the competition’s, and the delivery was express-fast (many thanks to the Military team). The Arc is Leatherman’s top-tier model — it was made from a high-grade alloy, and the blade is crafted from MagnaCut steel, considered one of the best and most durable materials for pocket knives. I clearly stated that I wanted the Leatherman Arc “Made in USA” version, not a variant from outside the United States. Fortunately, that is exactly the unit I received after just two days... simply amazing! Now I know where I’ll be buying my gear... MILITARY!! Greetings from Belgium 😉

This is a truly excellent multifunctional tool — very solidly made and offering many practical features. The whole thing has been well designed, and using its mechanisms is highly satisfying. It is an excellent piece of equipment that is worth always carrying with you so that, when needed, you have the right tools at hand.
-
As you would expect from the Leatherman brand, the build quality is truly excellent; the Arc Talos model gives an even more exclusive impression than the company's other multitools. The tool set in the LM Arc has been very well thought out and includes everything that may be useful on a daily basis. Of course, the Magnacut steel blade deserves special recognition, as it is not only very sharp, but also retains its sharpness for a long time, and when it finally needs resharpening, it can be done without much difficulty. In summary, this is a truly great multitool that is definitely worth its price.

I’ve had it for several months, with a beautiful engraving; it’s a versatile, strong, compact tool. The price... well, but you get a product for many years, it won’t get damaged easily, and I’ve put this equipment through quite a bit.
-
Great product, of course the price could be a little lower. I really like its appearance; I own a Wave Plus, and this one is much better to use. Apart from the blade steel, which is awesome, the Free technology helps a lot in everyday use.

The Leatherman ARC Talos is a very successful multitool with excellent one-handed operation. So far, I am very satisfied with it. From the very first use, it gives the impression of being an exceptionally solid and practical tool. In my opinion, it is perfectly suited for outdoor use, bushcraft, camping, as well as everyday carry. Particularly noteworthy is the option of convenient one-handed operation. Thanks to the FREE system, using the tools is quick and comfortable. After a short break-in period and adding a small amount of oil to the joints and moving parts, everything works very smoothly. The build quality is at a very high level, and the whole tool gives a sense of durability even under intensive use. The MagnaCut blade and the rich set of features make the ARC Talos a truly versatile tool. If I had to point out a minor drawback, it would be the weight. For a classic EDC, this model is already a bit heavier, although it still remains comfortable to carry on a belt. In outdoor and bushcraft applications, weight is of less importance anyway. I also rate the order itself from Militaria positively: the shipment to Austria arrived exceptionally quickly, in just three days. It was the fastest delivery I have experienced when ordering from this store. To sum up: this is a high-class, very solid and functional multitool that, in my opinion, fully deserves its price. For outdoor use, bushcraft, and also as a quality EDC, I can recommend the ARC Talos without hesitation.

The fact that the Leatherman Arc is a great product was obvious to me — I am fully satisfied, because the tool feels exceptionally solid and very well made. What impressed me even more, however, was the seller. My Leatherman arrived in less than a day and a half despite standard shipping. The fulfillment speed truly deserves recognition… The price of this tool also turned out to be unbeatable. In summary: a full 5 out of 5 stars!!⭐️

This is by far the best Leatherman multitool. The ability to operate it with one hand works great in emergency situations, and the tool works smoothly right out of the box. The Magnacut blade is exceptionally sharp, and the engraving done by militaria looks excellent!
-
An excellent tool for everyday use, and the shipment to Greece arrived very quickly! I especially liked the precise laser engraving, which personalized the product perfectly. The price was the best among all offers in Europe! Highly recommended A+++
-
Great equipment. It's worth paying more and getting top-quality goods in return. You can see and feel that this is equipment for many years, and despite initial concerns about the price, I have no doubts. I highly recommend it.

Damn, I was afraid this was a gadget that screams midlife crisis. On top of that, absurdly expensive — I mean, who even needs this. I have screwdrivers, pliers, and a hammer. I don’t know why I bought it. But after half a year, I’m glad I always have it with me. And if I lost the damn thing somewhere in the woods, I’d order another one immediately. Solid, comfortable, provided you actually have it with you. It has 4 flaws and nothing but advantages. So let’s write about the flaws: 1 - hammer. It’s easy to smash your hand while using it. But it’s there and it works 2 - hammer. While using it, you can lose the bit (I did) 3 - hammer. While using it, you can lose the precision bit (I did) 4 - price. I also have the Signal and, honestly, there’s no comparison — it can’t hold a candle to the Arc.

The multitool makes a very good impression right from the first contact. You can feel that high-quality materials were used in the production, which makes the tool stiff and extremely durable. The mechanisms work smoothly, and the locks hold firmly, which significantly affects the comfort and safety of work. The set of functions is well thought out and works in various situations, both for minor home repairs and in the field. The main blade is very sharp and holds its edge well. The whole thing is well balanced and, despite the considerable number of tools, the multitool does not take up too much space in your pocket or on your belt. It's a solid piece of equipment for someone looking for a reliable tool for years. I recommend it to everyone who values high-quality workmanship.

You can't go wrong with a Leatherman. Very good built and very useful. The pouch is great. The interchangeable tools that come with it was a pleasant surprise. I had considered buying it in the US than in PL, because of the high price, but here in PL you get those extras which are not included if you buy it in the US, for example. I realized that Arc and other Leatherman are discounted once a year. Wait for the right moment to buy it!
-
I believe this is the best multitool, not only from Leatherman but on the market in general. It features an excellent mechanism that works perfectly and allows you to operate all the tools with one hand – unfolding and folding the multitool, using the pliers, knife, handle, or other functions. Truly an outstanding multitool. In my opinion, it is unrivaled.
