The Skeletool by Leatherman is about $50.

You can also go with like $10-30 more and get the Skeletool CX, which has carbon fiber parts, a scratch resistant coating, and the blade is made out of harder steel. Though it's not half serrated like the regular Skeletool is. The CX model's blade can be seen in the OP pic.

What all is on that thing? Does it come with the leather case?
Also how many tools do you actually need?

I carry pic related in my wallet at all times, even when I'm carrying another multitool, just because it's so convenient.

Been looking at the different type of leathermen, and wondering if I should get a MUT, a Signal or a Skeletool CX, and I'm thinking I might just say fuck it, and get all three.

Keep the MUT on my chest rig since it comes with a MOLLE sheath and has the firearm specific parts, keep the Signal with my camping gear, and have the Skeletool for EDC.

i don't mind serrations like other anons poop about them cuz they aren't capable to sharpen them

>>28902080
What are serrated blades good for? And how are they not sharpenable? If you can sharpen a saw I don't see why a knife can't be.

>>28903331
they're better for cutting rope and shit, and work better when dull. go cut a loaf of bread with a chef knife, then again with a bread knife.

I carry a plain edged CRKT or my SOG as my edc

I really like my Signal.

>>28899821
I have a skeletool. I work in a hospital doing xrays, and wear scrubs all day, so I need something pretty lightweight. I also carry a little CRKT Pazoda because it's easier to keep sharp than the half-serrated blade on the skeletool. I mostly use a knife blade for opening cardboard boxes central supply brings us, and the skeletool pliers and screwdriver come in handy for random tasks a couple times a month. And both are small enough to avoid the "OMG, why do you have A KNIFE??" factor from some people, plus for some reason those people don't seem to mind knives that are part of multitools, but would freak out if it was a spyderco or something...

>>28903684
>OMG, why do you have A KNIFE??
People do this?

Back when I was in high school nobody would bat an eye if a student pulled out a pocket knife to cut on something, in the damn school.

>>28903739
not everyone lives in shitfuckville, north carolina. in populated shitholes like new york or california you would probably get pinned to the ground by security if you took a tiny swiss army knife out.

>Would it be redundant to carry both a folding knife and a multitool with a knife?

Personally I don't think so. The knife is for all knife applications, including defensive. The knife on a multitool? I don't really consider that weapon-capable.

Also pic related, I got this fucker last weekend for half off. I like it.

>>28903597
How does the signal compare to the wave weight-wise? Love the wave but need a lighter alternative.

I use this one when going fishing or hitting the countryside with friends because it is really useful.

It was a gift from my dad. Blade came already sharp as fuck and the saw is miles better than I expected.

>>28903739
>People do this?
Nope. It's literally only on /k/ that people think it happens.

I live in Canada and whip out my multitool all the time to sharpen my pencil (it's a drafting pencil but without a sharpener on the end) and no one gives me shit. Most people don't carry knives, but it seems like just a thing people don't really need/think to bring rather than OMG NIFE IS SCARY ;A;

That said, I think it'd be redundant to have both a multitool and folding knife. Folding knives are pure edginess; I can't think of the last time I actually used the blade on my multitool for anything outside my house. I might have used it sometime this week to slice paper, that's about it.


What comes up are always the saw, pliers and awl/can opener. I think I use sewing kit stuff more often outdoors than I use my multitool, let alone the knife specifically.

If you're thinking of using it defensively, it'll take you longer to open the knife that it will for someone with an already open knife to stab you.

>>28904227
Maybe it has to do with your country.

I live in Spain and it actually happens. Pull out a folding knife and everyone will label you as a mugger or low life scum, maybe thanks to gypsies robbing people were I live, but that shit don't happen much anymore.

I'm talking about carry a knife on a regular day, if you pull out a SAK at work no one will freak.

>>28903559
>go cut a loaf of bread with a chef knife, then again with a bread knife.
The chef knife is actually better. A properly sharpened knife will go through even the softest bread like nothing, and cut it cleaner than a serrated knife. You just still have to use a slicing motion.

Serrated knives are just easier to maintain since you basically don't have to maintain them for them to work. But a razor sharp kitchen knife will work so much better than a newish serrated bread knife.

>>28904246
I carry my multitool everywhere I go and break out the saw constantly because it has a file on it for sharpening my drafting pencil, and I've not so much as been told to leave by a bar bouncer.

Obviously if you walk around with some full-tang survival/combat knife for no reason, people are gonna raise eyebrows and maybe even call the cops because who the fuck do you think you are, john rambo???

>>28899955
damn, i wish there was a compromise. i really think that some serrations are ideal, i imagine most shit i'd ever cut with the knife would be helped by serrations

>>28904281
most multitools include both a saw and a knife

>>28904281
Only thing I can think of that would better cut by a serrated edge would be rope.

>>28904150
The wave is heavier.

I don't use a multitool, they are usually not worth the weight or the bulk

>>28904299

not the leatherman cx in OP's comment, i'd really like a minimalistic carbon fiber multitool with either serrations or a saw, it ticks all my boxes except for that one

>>28904304
>weight or bulk
My multitool weighs less than my phone and takes up the space of two ballpoint pens.

>>28904304
>they are usually not worth the weight or the bulk
why say stupid things?

>>28904301

yeah, but i'd think that rope is also the most common thing you'd ever cut

>>28904310
Also,
>ripped out half the tools on my multitool because it was just 3 flathead screwdrivers and an awl when I can use a dime as a screwdriver and have a pointed bottle opener on the same tool that is an actually better awl

I've been carrying a Supertool 300 lately instead of a smaller multitool and a folder. It's definitely heavy, but after a few days I stopped really noticing it.

>>28904346
>i've been carrying around a multitool instead of a multitool

Why are americans such brand-whoring shits?

>>28904329
why not just buy a multitool with tools you use?

>>28904331
victorninox one handed trekker

aka german field knife I think?

whatever got it cause of K. best knife I've owned.

>>28904360
Generally, I find theirs not much you cant do with a normal folding knife, fingernail and a pen.

Multi-tools are bulky, heavy and you would be better off having a folding knife and a compact pair of pliers

>>28904360
>why not just buy a multitool with tools you use?
I got my multitool from a friend who found it in a car park or something.

It has the tools I used, I just ripped the ones I don't use out, figuring I'd replace one of the handles' tools with a flashlight or something. I just haven't gotten around to it. It's not like I'm missing any tools I'd ever like to have on my person.

>>28904378
>Multi-tools are bulky, heavy
Maybe if you're a slovenly american who insists on having a 10 foot wide swiss army knife with 52 different wrenches on it.

>a folding knife and a compact pair of pliers
A multitool is literally a compact pair of pliers except one of the handles has a folding knife in it and maybe a file or saw or screwdriver or something in the other handle.

>>28904329

fine im convinced. there goes $65. fuck you anon

>>28904422
>$65
you can get one at Dollarama for like five dollars, maybe three. just sharpen the knife blade on a whetstone and there you go, it's not like the phillips head or saw have to be particularly sharp or robust

I usually carry the sentinel above for edc, but the workchamp fits into a pocket or jacket easy as fuck. Having a scalpel sharp blade and several other real tools really btfo's multitools.

>>28904442

it says that on the package but like

so i question its validity but it's been robust enough to survive so far and there's nothing some duct tape, cheap solder, scrap metal, and a pressurized lighter won't fix

>>28904443

eh, i spend money so i don't have to spend effort. there's plenty of shit in my life that i need to be working on, i'd rather not just add "projects"

>>28904405
Ive got a >>28904343 branded tool, pretty average in size, about a cm thick and 2.5" long.

Weights about 3 times that of my Linder folding knife (about 2 1/4" blade)

Infact, I can hold two knifes of the same weight, one pair of electrical pliers and my phone and its still lighter.


Now, the main thing with weight is the distribution along the seams of a pocket, in tight fitting girly jeans, it dosnt really matter. But im not a faggot.

In loose fit shirts, normal peoples pants etc.. having something heavy is a fuck off heavy pendulum when you doing anything other than jerking one off

>>28904511
>I don't know how to dress myself and think that a 2 gram multitool is "heavy"

>>28904434
A Multi-tool generally has a couple of blades/saws, screw drivers, flat head things, bottle openers.

But, when you jumping up and down the sides of shit, abusing blacks, running up and down stairs. Having something heavy in your pocket isnt very nice.

And for the amount of use you get out of the screwdrivers, flat head things, bottle openers, saws. Its not really worth it..

After carrying many multitools over the years, From the cheapest to the charge TTI, I have realised that the best balance of cost, form and function is the leatherman sidekick.

>>28904546
they make versions without those things that are lighter. buy a multitool with tools you think you'll use. it's not that complicated.

>>28904553
> Where did I say I didnt wear pants that fit, where does my wrists come into this? So many Questions!

its simple, would you rather lug around a hammer, set of screw drivers, crowbar, wirecutters for all situations

Or just a Hatchet, that you can use for all

>>28904583
But can you still use lightened (or Skeletal) ones as hammers? Do they cost more than the noble folding knife?

>>28904583
Or just remove the tools you don't think you need regularly. These things usually just do up with a couple of threaded pins.

>>28904788
>Its hot enough as it is with one set of trouser type garment.
with long underwear, it shouldn't be significantly hotter. In fact, it should insulate you better from the heat and keep you cool in hot weather. It's why saudis wear those long robes, they cover everything but it keeps the cool air in.

>its mainly due to deep pockets on everything,
still, it sounds like you're wearing 34 or 36 inch pants when you should have 30 or 32 inch. Especially if there's anything heavy or bulky in your pockets, they should stay mostly in the same place.

>>28904820
>it should insulate you better from the heat and keep you cool in hot weather.

saudis wear long robes to keep the sun directly off their skin. they don't wear multiple layers of long robes, because that would be idiotic.

>they don't wear multiple layers of long robes,
have you ever worn any of that shit? It's folded in a way that makes it layer.

Same for a keffeyigh. It's folded over more times than the typical long rectangular western scarf, and insulates way better for it. Hot --OR-- cold.

Actual army combat pants intended for use in hot and/or humid environments tend to be double-layered as well for the same reason.

Closer-fitting clothes will also wick away sweat, and with it, heat.

It doesn't come with the sheath. I've used every tool on it except for the wire crimper/stripper, fish descaler and ruler. Just today, I used the pliers, file and corkscrew. I would've used the blades too if I didn't additionally carry a dedicated knife.

>the only non-pleb in this thread
Based anon. I fucking want the Bushcrafter but I also can't justify paying +$80 for it. Since they're collector's piece people overpay way too much for them.

I don't know why the faggots at Victorinox don't mass produce them, the would sell like hot bread.

I have 2 Swiss army knives and have been looking for a decent multitool for on-the-go bicycle maintenance for a while now. Most Leathermans are pretty expensive here.

>>28899821

Serrations or not serrations depends on what you want to use the knife for. A lot of cutting rope or cordage, or as a "rescue" tool (if you are some sort of first responder maybe) then serrations are good.

However, if you ever plan on using your blade for wilderness tasks, such as fore building or bushcraft (making tent pegs, making notches for trapping, etc.) Then you want a full plain edge.

Personally, when I go innawoodz I bring my leatherman wave with me. It has a full plain edge knife and a fully serrated rescue style knife on it. Best of both worlds, no compromise.

Personally, I would go with full plain edge over serrated unless cutting things like ropes or those plastic straps that hold boxes shut is a part of your daily life.

they ones exactly like that, but slightly smaller

Picked up pic related recently, I love it to bits. One of the few knives to actually get serration placement correct, putting the straight edge near the handle where it's easier to apply more pressure for push-cutting and the serrations near the end for grip.

As a bonus the liner lock seems to be made for left-handed use which suits me.

I'd say get a Skeletool for EDC, and a MUT with your tactical gear, then take both camping anyway.

The signal is like a midway point between the Skeletool CX and the MUT, the only real functionality the Signal offers over the MUT is an awl and a can opener, plus the ferrocerium rod, whistle and sharpener, but I hear those leave a lot to be desired and you're better off getting a separate one of those than having them on your multitool.

For a midpoint between them I'm just get a Surge or a Wave, personally I like the Surge, because it's scissors are easily accessible without opening the the tool up. Though i do believe with the Surge you have to choose file or saw, can't have both, but when would you really use a file? Just carry a nice sharpening kit for that.
Keep it like in your car glove box or something, and also take it camping.

>>28908231

The file makes a really good metal saw, depending on your field it's definitely worth having the ability to cut both wood AND metal.

I like the Wave configuration more, scissors are fine where they are and I don't see much use for an awl

Mole grips always remind me of my Dad he uses them a little for a little too much perhaps so I got him one of these for christmas a few years back and had it engraved.

He's not a knife guy so it was pretty perfect. I hope he uses it but to be honest I doubt it. I had to have it engraved to make sure I didn't keep it myself the action is so satisfying.

>>28908262
yea I guessed that
I take it the hex screws are aftermarket too?

right now I EDC a Leatherman Squirt PS4 on my keychain and a ZT Sinkevich for my main knife.

currently waiting on pic related to be released so it can prob replace my Squirt - fully serrated 154CM blade, tungsten carbide glass breaker, plus all the other tools a Skeletool comes with

only complaint about the Squirt PS4 is that the bottle opener is a little small - functional, but not as good as the Skeletool/Style's carabiner bottle opener. otherwise, it's a great little tool to keep on your keychain

>>28908406
Think they'll sell the carbide glassbreaker as a large bit driver piece separately sometime later? I don't want to buy a whole new tool just for that.

I still have my old Leatherman Core somewhere. I used it a lot doing ground works and construction and stuff.

The things you can get from soil contamination and the like will fuck you up pretty badly, so I'd use/carry something else for most other tasks just because im my experience they're hard-ish to clean completely. Especially when you get soil or concrete or tar ground in at the pivot points where the blade folds in and out.

The Core is starting to get really loose on me and it's put up with a lot of hard use (and some dumbass abuse), so it might be time to replace it with a full-size SuperTool. I don't even know what generation they're on now.
