It is of German decent, named after Jason Denver Redman. The Denver tool is, by most professionals to have derived from the the late French fire and rescue systems.
The patented Denver Tool was invented by two Denver firefighters working at a busy downtown firehouse. After being in situations where they didn't have the right tool at the right time they designed a tool that would be simple to carry and use, but would give them the right tool at the right time: five tools in one. The tool was designed to be both efficient and durable, since they knew its strength would be tested!
