Leatherman Skeletool KB

The Leatherman Skeletool KB is what happens when you take the fluff out of a pocket knife and leave only what matters. One blade, one bottle opener, ultra-light frame—nothing extra, nothing wasted. It’s the knife you clip and forget, until you need it. Fast to deploy, smooth to carry, and way tougher than it looks.

Performance

This thing is a scalpel with attitude. The blade’s sharp, the grip’s grippy, and it opens with the kind of speed you expect from something twice its size. Built for light utility, trail use, and everyday cut tasks without the bulk or drama of a full multitool. Clean, sharp, and always ready to slice.

Pros

  • 420HC stainless steel blade—holds an edge and takes a beating.
  • Weighs under 1.5 oz—disappears in your pocket or pouch.
  • Integrated bottle opener in the clip—because you’ll use it more than you think.
  • One-hand open, liner lock—quick and secure.
  • Skeletonized design looks slick and sheds unnecessary weight.

Cons

  • No serration or fancy edges—just a clean drop-point blade.
  • Grip is minimalist—fine for quick cuts, but not a hard-use handle.

Final Thoughts
