Had a standard Skeletool which was confiscated when I forgot to take it out of my carry on bag. Told the security guard to keep it rather than throwing it away wastefully. Came home, bought an OG Skeletool CX with the carbon fibre insert, gave it to my friend as a little gift. He lost his at the airport, confiscated as well. Then I bought another CX last year and am sad it no longer has the CF insert but it's as good a tool as ever.

The CX is a great alternative to a simple folding knife. 154CM in a multi tool simply rocks. I love the size and steel choice of the blade relative to the size of the tool. I also see it as a knife with the extras instead of a "traditional" multi tool (pliers with the extras). While the carabiner has been controversial to some, to me it opens up a whole new world of carry options (it can be clipped to a belt loop, a backpack, a lanyard, a keychain and more) in addition to being an effective and easy-to-access bottle opener because the whole tool is used as a lever.

I've had a Leatherman on my side since I was about 17. When the skeletool came out I bought a CX. It's the best thing I've ever owned! I've gone through 5 because I keep losing them (usually when I'm drunk) but I have to keep replacing it because I can't live without it! The blade on the CX is the bomb! I sharpen it with ease and its like a razor!

Squirt PS4 is on my keychains for truck a d Harley both...and wave with bit kit is stored in both the Harley and the truck. The Skeletool kicked out more than a decade of Spyderco and Benchmade blades... I have given a few Leathermans as gifts...all are appreciated, but the only one I know gets carried by the person I gave it to is the Skeletool. I actually have backups for myself, lol.

PLEASE make a few iteration of the Skeletool that provides alternate options for the Knife. Many people carry a dedicated knife, but would like a light multi-tool that gives other options. Scissors, Diamond File and Wood Saw in place of the Scissors. AND perhaps another tool option that will pass TSA rules.

You're missing out on the European market by not making non-locking versions of your products.

@PhilbyFavourites 29 күн бұрын

I’ve still got the Wave that I’ve had for over 20 years. The changing face of European legislation (and those London feral kids) have meant that it’s an home device. Although it does go on holidays and sit in the hold luggage packed inside a shoe for any holiday usage (usually nasal hair with the built in scissors - don’t laugh 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️). I still think the locking blade is a positive as how I’ve not lost my fingers as a kid with non locking blade penknives is a mystery. The locking blade just allows more leverage and is very useful. But hey, these are built in the USA and I’ll gloss over their gun legislation… An amusing story to finish with: many years ago here in UK my father was a stalwart member of a gun club (before legislation ruined that sport), target pistol shooting and the like. One of his fellow senior shooters turned up one day with a replica Colt Buntline Special (the 6” barrel job beloved of old Westerns). Dad asked Dudley, “what do you want an old style gun like that for?” Dudley answered, “to bang the nails in on the wanted posters……”

Remove the carabiner clip part at the end of the frame and put magnacut blade on it and it would be perfect EDC size. That’s the most hated thing that giant clip on the end makes it really too large in pocket and annoying. Also make it less sticky opening pliers or “free” opening style.
