Hey guys,
so the other night I was over at the local Cdn Tire store and while browsing through I saw a leatherman Skeleton. I was intruiged by these when they first came out, but the just kinda went to the back of the list as I didn't really have any money, and I had plenty of multitools.
Well, in the mean time while carrying the Gerber I have, I just found the other tools not the handyest and I wanted something light, and nicer looking, Enter the Leatherman Skeletool.
Lets start.
So, while its a small tool, and not heavy at all, the first thing I thought when I picked it up is "well it looks great, feels great, is it?"
Well, so far it has been. The blade was decently sharp out of the box. The F&F was great, clean lines comfy to hold, and every thing I did with it was done in comfort. So far Im loving it.
A shot here with every one for reference. The skeletool is 5 Oz in weight and has a really well made pocket clip that can be removed should you want to.
First thing I did with it last night was try the bottle opener, now Im not so girly that I normaly can't get a bottle open, but I had to try it out.
Next are some shots of the front, right, back and left side.
Here you can see where the extra bit is held, its a two sided bit as is the Philips that also comes with it.
Like I say, its really nice looking, im impressed with shiny things and this is no slouch. The blade locks open with a liner lock, it has a decent sized lock considering the overall size of the tool. And though the blade didn't come incredibly sharp, it was a working edge.
Here are some shots of the lock and blade.
From what I can tell it has either brass or copper liners, which is a nice touch.
I wanted to try out the cutting efficiency, and also impressed with that. Dencent cutter, well made pliers and a general use selection of tools, nice.
