The Leatherman Skeletool KB is a minimalist, lightweight folder that's the perfect size for everyday carry. The “skeletonized” design of the Skeletool line of tools made them a go-to lightweight option for mid-sized and keychain multi-tools. The new Skeletool KB strips away many bulkier functions so it has a "naked" feel to it. You can see the side of the 2.65" 420HC drop point blade, save for the edge, exposed through the handle when folded. It's a striking minimalist look, but it's not just for show. By cutting out all that non-essential material in the handle and blade, the Skeletool KB manages to weigh in at an incredible 1.5 ounces in total. That's so light that you'll barely notice it in your pocket until you need it. And with its deep carry pocket clip (which doubles as a bottle opener), it's not too conspicuous. Pick it up at the link below.

Great knife for a small price. Only gripe is I’m constantly adjusting up the screw that the blade pivots on. Too loose and there’s play in the blade, too tight and the knife is hard to open.
