But perhaps the most significant feature — a first for Leatherman, as well as the larger multi-tool industry — is the Arc’s MagnaCut steel knife blade. This addition really boosted the Arc well above similarly outfitted tools, including Leatherman’s own, and into the grail multi-tool conversation.
Wait; that’s not all! The impressive tool boasts all of this, as well as the brand’s Free technology — meaning every single tool opens smoothly and, more importantly, is wholly one-hand operable.

It remains to be said that all of the aforementioned features in the previous section already existed in the Leatherman Arc. So what sets the Talos apart? A couple of things, actually.
First, and most apparently, it gets a new brown colorway. This is the only alternative colorway for the tool. The original — and the only other one available — is silver with black highlights, including the blade’s DLC coating (which extends to parts of the handle and the pocket clip).
