About Kuny's
Kuny's makes leather tool carriers, work gear, kneepads and gloves from Leduc, Alberta, and is the Canadian half of Hultafors Group's tool-storage business alongside the American CLC Work Gear. Its pitch is the detail a tradesperson notices rather than the headline feature: how a pocket is stitched, how the binding holds, how the fabric lies after a year of use.
