Leatherman Skeletool KB Knife

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

This is a sleek, low-weight pocket knife from the market-leading knife specialist Leatherman.

Leatherman says: 

Weighing just 1.3 ounces, the Skeletool KB is a great addition to your pocket. It’s ideal if you just need a reliable, quality everyday carry knife with a bottle opener.

Our Verdict

Incredibly low weight at only 35 grams, this is a really useful tool that most backpackers will find a use for at some point on the trail.

This sleek and ergonomic locking blade must be manually unlocked to put it away; this is simple to do and can be accomplished with one hand, making it a much safer blade to use. The Skeletool KB also has a bottle opener, which may be as handy as the knife.
