Leatherman Skeletool KB Onyx Black Aluminum 420HC Black Oxide Liner Lock Knife (2.60" Blade) 833163

This Leatherman Skeletool KB runs dark end to end in Onyx Black, aluminum scales and a black oxide 420HC blade. The liner lock sets up solid on a folder meant for everyday carry.

• Onyx Black Cerakote Scales - Onyx Black covers the aluminum scales in Cerakote, and the 420HC blade takes black oxide, so the knife reads dark from clip to tip. Cerakote is a ceramic-based coating, tougher against scuffs and corrosion than the color alone would suggest.
• 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.
