Premium 154CM Blade
The Skeletool CX features a straight-edge knife blade made from 154CM stainless steel. This premium blade steel offers better wear resistance and edge retention than many standard stainless steels while maintaining good toughness and corrosion resistance.
The blade can be opened with one hand using the thumb hole and is accessible from the outside while the tool remains folded. Once opened, it locks securely into position for controlled cutting.
Essential Tools Without Extra Bulk
The Skeletool CX is designed around the tools most commonly needed for quick repairs and everyday tasks. Instead of filling the frame with rarely used implements, it combines a strong blade, pliers, cutters, bit driver and opener in a compact form.
This minimalist configuration makes it especially useful for users who already carry dedicated tools elsewhere but want a capable multi-tool for unexpected repairs.
Customisable Bit Driver
The large bit driver accepts Leatherman flat bits, allowing the tool to be adapted for different screw types. One bit can be installed in the driver while an additional bit is stored securely inside the handle.
Included Bits
- Phillips #1 and #2
- Flat screwdriver 1/4 in and 3/16 in
Convenient Carry Options
The replaceable pocket clip allows the Skeletool CX to be attached to a pocket or belt loop. The clip can also be removed when a cleaner profile is preferred.
The integrated carabiner provides another convenient attachment method for bags, equipment loops and suitable gear. It also functions as a bottle opener.
