Leatherman Skeletool KB Nocturnal Blue Aluminum 420HC Black Oxide Liner Lock Knife (2.60" Blade) 833558

Nocturnal Blue works dark blue through black on this Leatherman Skeletool KB, an everyday carry folder that closes down to the thickness of a few stacked quarters. The front pocket it rides in still has room for everything else.

• Nocturnal Blue Cerakote Scales - Nocturnal Blue puts dark blue over black across the aluminum scales, in Cerakote. The ceramic-based coating carries the color and takes the wear, holding against abrasion and corrosion on the part of the knife your hand is always on.
• 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.
