I love this knife, I've owned it for over 2 years now, and it has held up fantastically. great slim size, fits in any pocket on the go, has held it's edge well with only minor sharpening and cleaning needed.I work in IT and have to climb around in warehouses, open boxes, and strip things, It has solved all of my issues.The green color is not overly bright but is noticeable enough that if you drop it or leave it somewhere it will catch your eye.The only Con I have is that the bottle opener "hook" has a tendency to catch on untucked shirt edges and coats if you clip it in your front pants pocket as I do, I've accidentally lifted it out of my pocket a few times with a stray jacket pull,

I own the Skeletool CX multitool and figured this was basically the handle from that.. and it kind of is.. but seems smaller somehow. It is very light and thin. The body (blue part) is easily deflected by pressing on it. It is strong enough to seems like it'll work for light duty. I was wondering why it was only $25, half of that is for the name. If this were in Wally world, you'd pay $15 for it max. I have a Kershaw Ken Onion that is way better built, about the same size but more comfortable to use. It was about $20.The height of the case is so thin that it is not comfortable for me to use. But it's ok.The opening/closing mechanism has a diminutive lock. I think it'll hold.If you're looking for a little knife for the office,

I’ve owned this knife before. I unfortunately dropped it while fishing in the river and could not find it in any store online or in person. I couldn’t remember who made it so I went to Amazon and thank God I did because I got back my favorite night in the entire world and trust me I’ve gone through some knives. Not only does the blade stay sharp for ever, seriously I think I sharpened my old one I had for 5 years maybe twice, but it’s small enough to fit in a women’s pair of shorts coin pocket, it’s green so you can see it laying around, it’s got a straight blade and serrated.... And a bottle opener come on !? It doesn’t get better than that.

Look, this is NOT a tool to pry open 1/2 rusted bolts, to people complaing how they snapped pliers. Yes, indeneted half circle word "leatherman" impede structural integrity of "jaws"part.On the other hand, if you are thinking to use pliers to cut a wire, 2-3mm top, or to twist some, to pull a hook out of a fish mouth, any of these tasks will do.What I like and others dislike is how tight and well made these are unlike other brand I owned that did snap plier part. Also screwdriver bits are super helpfull.Now the "negative". On a tool itself there is no space for third screwdriver bit. Knife need sharpening for my taste, if I can not shave my hair with it, it is not sharp enough.

Very slim, takes up zero room in your pocket and doesn't get in the way of your hand if you use the belt clip. Arrives just this side of shaving sharp, and holds that edge well. Easy to resharpen when it does eventually dull up. Good quality corrosion-resistant stainless steel for those of us who sweat.However, the bottle opener mounted on the clip will snag on anything that it gets close to. I've lost one already because it hooked on the hem of my shirt on a day I that I went 'untucked' and nearly lost the replacement because it did the same thing on my jacket this winter. They're cheap enough to replace, but still...tuck it in or expect to reach for your knife and find it missing.

It is a nice pocket knife, though maybe overpriced and derived from the knife handle of a Leatherman Skeletool without much in the way of redesign. I like the half-serrated blade and the size and weight, but don't know yet about longevity. The blade steel seems medium quality, probably equivalent to the standard Skeletool, rather than the CX version. I can open and move the liner lock to close it with one hand, though this requires manipulation. It's main drawback, as far as I'm concerned, is that the thin handle/ frame doesn't have the ergonomics or feel of competitive small knives that were originally designed to be pocket knives.

Smaller and lighter than I was expecting, I have a skeletool, compering them the knife in the KBX seems a fraction of mm thinner, the paint (blue) is that, paint the original skeletool seems not painted but that the material is dark/black color.Is difficult to open with one hand actually I had to change the usual way of opening knifes instead I take it with thumb and index finger like if you are going to pass the knife then just press and open the knife.Overall I'm happy with the knife although I think is missing a key ring or a carabiner.

Excellent knife. Best serrated, lightweight, mini knife I have found. I prefer to carry a pocket knife for utilitarian use but I hate bulky feelings in my pocket. I lost my old benchmade and needed something new. I looked around a lot for the perfect day-to-day knife. This thing is it. I don't even notice it in my pocket. Look around, I promise you won't find a better knife in this category for under $100. And as a avid hiker and occasional mountaineer, it's perfect for backpacking too.

Love the size, its perfectly sized to go onto my back pocket, and I don't feel it. I absolutely hate the bottom non straight edge. The top of the blade is fine. In terms of the quality/hardness of the metal, this is pretty malleable expect to sharpen this constantly if you use it.This has around a 17 degree edge, so you can cut paper with it pretty easy, just know that because of the not spectacular hardness, it will the edges will bend over, especially the lower part of knife.

My husband loves this knife this is like the second or third one we have purchased the only negative is the thing that makes this knife clippable also religiously gets caught on stuff and gets pulled out of his pocket so he keeps losing them so the design could be worked on or if they could send a little case to keep it in in your pocket it would be ideal because no matter what he does it gets stuck on stuff and goes flying out.

The thing is small, very light, and hangs on tight in your pocket. I sometimes want a knife I could lose and not sweat it, and this fit the bill. It’s not a complex need, really. Just common uses, you know? I have a lot of knives but wanted one to carry around when I’m in play clothes,where I know it may get lost. I love this thing and will immediately replace it as needed.

What a great little knife. Sometimes when you buy online you never are quite sure if what you are buying is really of value, well this one hits all bells and is probably worth more than you pay. Made in USA, 25 year warranty, sharp, lightweight functional, what more can you ask of a small knife? No you can’t skin an elk with it but it can open an Amazon delivery!

I like it. It’s a nice, small knife that’s sharp enough to do most basic things you would want a knife to do. It’s very slim and compact so it’s good for me to bring to work as a edc. Plus, I like the way it looks.Downsides are the bottle opener is not the best. It will work but it’s hard to get a good grip on the lid. Also opening the knife feels stiff/slow.

I love this little knife, it is razor sharp and opens and folds with ease. What my mistake was before ordering this knife was not realizing how small this knife is, which is about half the size of a regular sized pocket knife. The can opener takes some time getting used to but I am happy to report many beers have been opened using this can opener.

Bought this for my boyfriend for Christmas, and he loves it! It is much less bulky than some of the other Leatherman's, and small enough that he comfortably carries it in his pocket every day. It has held up well, and to my surprise the little interchangeable bits that come with it haven't fallen out yet! Well worth the money.
