Leatherman’s latest release is tailored to outdoor food lovers who want more than just a bottle opener in their multitool. Their new Picnic tool features a waiter-style corkscrew alongside other handy utensils, making it the perfect companion for picnics, tailgates, and camp cookouts.
- Features a waiter-style leveraged corkscrew for effortless wine uncorking
- Includes a sheepsfoot blade for precise food prep outdoors
- Compact design tailored for picnics, tailgates, and camping trips
What happened
Leatherman has introduced a new limited-edition multitool named Picnic, developed through its Garage program. This pint-sized tool notably includes a proper waiter-style leveraged corkscrew along with five additional tools—each suited to outdoor meals and social occasions like picnics and tailgates. The corkscrew uses a hinged arm to smoothly pull corks from wine bottles, an uncommon feature in recent multitools.
Unlike many multitools that favor bottle openers due to the popularity of beer, the Picnic tool prioritizes wine drinkers who often find themselves without an appropriate corkscrew when away from home. Alongside the corkscrew, the device features a sheepsfoot blade designed for clean slicing of deli items and cheese, plus a separate flat bottle opener with a pry tip housed within its compact frame.
Why it feels good
The Picnic multitool answers a common frustration for outdoor gourmets who want to bring wine along on adventures but have struggled to find a multitool that includes a practical, easy-to-use corkscrew. By adopting the waiter-style leverage mechanism, users avoid awkward or messy uncorking experiences typical of simple fold-out corkscrews. The tool’s compact design also makes it convenient to carry without sacrificing functionality.
Additionally, the inclusion of a sheepsfoot blade aimed at food prep shows attention to outdoor dining needs beyond just beverage access. It offers a purposeful shape reminiscent of kitchen utility knives, perfect for neatly handling picnic staples. This thoughtful combination of specialized tools makes outdoor meals and celebrations feel easier and more enjoyable, enhancing the overall experience.
What to enjoy or watch next
Food and outdoor enthusiasts should look forward to seeing how the Picnic multitool performs in real-world picnics and camp cookouts, where its corkscrew and utility blade convenience will be appreciated. Watch for reviews from longtime multitool users to see how this new design balances portability and practicality in outdoor settings.
Beyond the Picnic edition, Leatherman fans may hope for future multitools that integrate both corkscrews and bottle openers more seamlessly or add other culinary-focused features. As trends in beverage consumption shift and wine gains popularity, products that cater to those needs could inspire other innovations in everyday carry gear.
