Leatherman Skeletool KB Aurora Aluminum 420HC Black Oxide Liner Lock Knife (2.60" Blade) 833566

This Leatherman Skeletool KB wears Aurora, orange shading through green and blue across aluminum scales. It is an everyday carry folder thin enough to share a front pocket with a phone and keys.

• Aurora Cerakote Scales - Aurora moves orange into green and blue across the aluminum scales, laid down in Cerakote. The ceramic-based coating is there for more than the color, holding up against abrasion, wear and corrosion on a knife that lives in a pocket.
• Pocket Clip with Bottle Opener - The clip is stainless steel, set for tip-down carry, and shaped at the end to lift a bottle cap. It unscrews if you would rather carry the knife loose in a pocket or drop it into a sheath, and it goes back on the same way.
• Skeletonized Frame & Scales - Leatherman cut holes through the frame and the scales, which is where the Skeletool name comes from and where the weight went. What is left is a 420 stainless frame, aluminum scales, and a finished knife lighter than a golf ball.
• 420HC Drop Point & Liner Lock - The blade runs 420HC stainless in a modified drop point with a plain edge, an easy steel to bring back to sharp on a stone. A liner lock catches it open and holds firm, and your thumb pushes the liner across to fold it away.

The Leatherman Skeletool KB

The Leatherman Skeletool KB carries a blade and a bottle opener and nothing else. The Skeletool frame it rides on was drawn in 2007 around a brief to pack the most function possible into the least weight, and the answer was to cut holes through everything that did not have to be solid. Leatherman still builds it that way out of Portland, Oregon.
