Leatherman’s Skeletool CX
For those of you who may not be familiar with Leatherman’s Skeletool family of products, let me give you a quick brief of both the CX and KB.
The Leatherman Skeletool CX is a 7-feature multi-tool, ideal for hiking, fishing, camping, DIY projects or just as an EDC. Within the Skeletool CX multi-tool you will find the following tools:
- Needlenose Pliers
- Regular Pliers
- Wire Cutters
- Hard-wire Cutters
- 154CM Knife
- Carabiner / Bottle Opener
- Large Bit Drive (included bits: Phillips #1 & #2, Screwdriver 1/4″ & 3/16″)
The Leatherman Skeletool weighs just 5 oz. This 4″ Skeletool CX features a replaceable pocket clip, meaning the multi-tool can be attached to your pocket or belt. When you no longer need to carry the CX, simply remove the clip and use your Skeletool without the clip being in your way.
The 2.6″ CX blade is lockable, which is always a nice feature. And as a bonus, the Skeletool can be operated with one hand.
Previously, the Skeletool CX was only available in Leatherman’s classic black and silver colour combo. Today, you can choose between 4 extraordinary new colours: Verdant, Nightshade, Paradise and Onyx.

Leatherman’s Skeletool KB
The Leatherman Skeletool KB is a high-quality knife with a built-in bottle opener. Whether you’re into hunting, camping, hiking, home improvement, etc, the Skeletool KB can handle it all.
The KB knife allows you to disengage the locked blade with one hand. Just like the Skeletool CX, the KB also features a removable pocket clip.
The Skeletool KB weighs 1.3 oz. and has a closed length of 3.45″. The blade itself is 2.6″ long and made of 420HC stainless steel. The handle, however, is made from T6 hard-anodized aluminum.
As to colours, unfortunately, the Skeletool KB does not come in Onyx. It does, however, come in Verdant, Nightshade and Paradise. To give your Skeletool KB a unique touch, consider adding a custom engraving to make it feel more personal and special!
The Sheath
Be aware that both the Leatherman’s CX and KB, unfortunately, do not come with a sheath.

It absolutely is. And the colours, don’t get me started on the colours!! It’s nice to have something bright that you can actually find. Thanks for the comment!!
Looks like a great Father’s Day (or Mother’s Day) for some special people on my list!
Absolutely! I think almost everyone would appreciate a good multi-tool, especially when you have children.
What a great idea for Father’s Day coming up! Love the stand out colors! Way easier to not misplace.
You’re right, it’s the perfect gift for dad, not to mention that it’s a show piece of its own. Thanks for the comment.
