Key History & DesignProduction Years: It was introduced in 2004 to succeed older designs like the Pocket Survival Tool (PST) and Sideclip, and was later retired in 2012.
Slim Profile: The Kick was explicitly engineered as Leatherman's slimmest full-size pocket tool, minimizing bulk while retaining heavy-duty pliers.
Ergonomics: It features black Zytel (glass-filled nylon) handle inserts. This design choice rounded out the inside handle edges, making it far more comfortable to squeeze when using the pliers compared to older, all-metal models.
