Great video! I noticed that Victorinox hand sharpens the blades. :thumbup: Although Leatherman multi-tools are hand assembled, the blades are not hand sharpened. The blades are pretty sharp though. Here's a video of the assembly process for a Leatherman multi-tool: http://www.leatherman.com/about/factory-tour.aspx

Cool videos and photos. folks. Thanks for digging them up. I also find it interesting the the SAK blades are sharpened at <15 degree angles. Explains why they are so darn sharp.

Was anyone else a bit unnerved watching the knife sharpening robots in the Leatherman video?

Digging the backdrop of that picture with the mountains and clear sky.
