Leatherman Skeletool KBx Knife

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

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

Leatherman says: 

The Sketetool KBx comes with a versatile combo knife blade that’s great for heavy-duty work or for quick, everyday uses. The built-in bottle opener on the clip is handy too.

Our Verdict

Incredibly low weight at only 38 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 KBx also has a bottle opener, which may be as handy as the knife.
