I recently picked up the much anticipated Leatherman Skeletool CX . Leatherman has been making multi-tools since the Carter Administration, but I got one since they finally came out with a tool that has a few features that have been heretofore lacking in Leatherman products. First, it has a one-hand opening knife that can be opened when the tool is closed. Secondly, the blade is made from a respectable grade steel that can actually hold an edge (154CM) . Lastly, it has a pocket clip so you can keep it in your back pocket as opposed to carrying those sheaths that make you look like a douchebag. It has all the critical tools you want like pliers, wire cutter, flat and Phillips head screwdrivers and none of the ones you don’t (Sorry Frenchies, there’s no wine opener) so it’s lightweight and compact. The Skeletool CX is the oh-so slightly lighter weight version as it has one panel that is laminated carbon fiber and has a black oxide finish, but unless you’re planning to freeclimb at night with a Seal team, you’re probably better off getting the regular Skeletool which is all shiny steel and is a bit cheaper.
