(More customer reviews)I really like all the features of this Swiss Army Knife.It was affordable and really has a lot of useful tools. Some tools not mentioned above packed into this knife include:

Needle (near the corkscrew)
Micro Small Screwdriver within the corkscrew
metal saw
wood saw

These things come in really handy in the tackle box or glove compartment in the car. They also really work well hiking/backpacking/camping or unpacking or whenever a quicktool is needed.

About Swiss Army Knives
In 1884, Swiss cutler Karl Elsener set up shop in Ibach-Schwyz, installing a waterwheel in Tobelbach Brook to run his grinding and polishing machines. Thus began what would become the international brand name Victorinox, a combination of Victoria, for Elsener's mother, and "inox," or stainless steel. Today, Victorinox produces watches, luggage, clothing, and, famously, Swiss Army Knives. The original product dates to 1897, when Elsener patented the Swiss Officer's and Sports Knife he supplied to the Swiss Army. Following World War II, American servicemen and women shopping in PX stores shortened the name to Swiss Army Knife, which lives on in English-speaking countries around the world and has become a metaphor for versatility.

Leatherman Expanse e33T Straight Blade Knife Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My wife recently gave me this as a birthday present.I've always liked Leatherman tools... I've had a Leatherman Wave multi-tool for years now and it has been great.The e33t seems to be made of quality materials and feels really solid in the hand.This knife has one of the best quick launch mechanisms I've come across.It takes very little practice to be able to quickly flick the blade open using the "blade launcher".The knife can also be opened using the thumb stud.A liner lock keeps the knife securely open (in my opinion, liner locks are more secure than back locks).The blade is made of 154CM stainless steel.This may make it more difficult to sharpen because of its hardness, but ultimately, hardness results in a longer lasting sharp edge.The e33t comes with 4 tools:the blade (obviously), flat-head screwdriver, Philips screwdriver, and a carbiner (which also functions as a bottle opener).This knife also features a pocket clip which is a necessity for this type of knife in my opinion.

The Expanse functions perfectly, fits great in the hand, and looks great clipped in your pocket.Looks much more rugged and less geeky than Victorinox multi-tool knives any day of the week!

Product Description:
Lightweight yet sturdy enough for demanding jobs, the Leatherman 8611140 e33T Straight Blade Knife is a versatile tool that's easy to store in your pocket, pack, or toolbox. A slim, folding knife with a reinforced handle, a blade launcher, and two screwdrivers, the e33T is a perfect choice for the rugged minimalist and do-it-yourselfer. Whether you're setting up camp in the wilderness or working on a project in your garage, this precision-crafted Expanse Series knife is packed with design elements that you'll appreciate.
The Leatherman e33T Straight Blade Knife offers:

Tough, US-made 154CM steel
A liner lock for safety
Blade Launcher technology
Flat and Philips screwdrivers

A new clip lets Expanse series knives sit deep in your pocket. View larger.

The e33Lx is a sleek, dependable folding knife. View larger.

The convenient carabiner doubles as a bottle opener. View larger. Simple, Lightweight, and Reliable
Sometimes, you don't need a multi-tool packed with gadgets or a heavy-duty hunting knife. You just need a strong, sharp, reliable cutting blade. The Expanse Series e33T is a streamlined, folding knife with a sturdy, locking blade. Its 60-percent glass-filled nylon handle is reinforced with stainless steel to provide exceptional durability along with a stylish, contemporary look.
This handle is shaped and balanced to sit comfortably in your hand, whether you're chopping wild onions to flavor a meal or splicing rope on the high seas. And weighing in at just 3.75 ounces, the e33T isn't bulky or awkward in your pocket.
The in-handle storage system means you won't have to carry a sheath, and a folding carabiner clip makes it simple to attach your knife to a belt loop or the side of your pack, so it's always on hand when you need it. Mariners who keep their tools on lines will have a special appreciation for this clip. It also does double-duty as a bottle-opener. You can also opt to secure your knife with the included removable pocket clip. As an added bonus, integrated Phillips and flathead screwdrivers mean that you'll never cut yourself or ruin your knife trying to tighten a screw with the blade.
Premium, US-Made Steel for Performance
A sharp knife is not only more useful than a dull knife, it's also safer, since you're less likely to slip and cut yourself. A good edge means you make the cuts you want to make quickly.
Expanse Series knives are crafted out of US-made 154CM steel from Crucible Metals. 154CM is used because it has exceptional edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. Leatherman compared 154CM steel to 420HC, another durable, reliable steel used in knife blades, and found that 154CM holds an edge approximately three times longer. This means your knife will be sharp and ready to use when you reach for it.
When it does come time to sharpen your knife, you'll appreciate that Leatherman knives can be re-sharpened using the standard methods. There are many effective ways to sharpen a knife, so you should be able to find one that works for you. Sharpening stones, round files, and special kits (not included) all provide a nice edge.
Locking, Drop-Style Blade for Safety
A liner lock lets you secure the blade of your e33T in the open position, so you don't have to worry about it closing on your hand while you cut. This safety feature is especially important when slicing through tough materials like nylon webbing or braided rope. Having a liner lock instead of a traditional lockback system makes the e33T easier to open with one hand. It also ensures that it's easy to unlock the blade and close the knife.
Leatherman's registered Blade Launcher technology makes opening Expanse Series knives even easier. With the Blade Launcher, you simply engage a conveniently placed mechanism to open your knife. A standard thumb stud contributes to the simplicity of one-handed operation, too.
Leatherman uses blades shaped in a drop-style for all their e33 knives because they fit nicely in the handle of your knife when not in use. Plus, a drop-style blade is stronger than a clip point blade, which you might see on other pocket knives. The 2.6-inch blade of the e33T provides plenty of versatility. This means you can rely on the e33T, whether you're cutting rope to build a litter during a mountain rescue operation or carving your name on a bunk at Scout camp.
About Leatherman: Time-Tested Survival Tools
The original Pocket Survival Tool, devised by mechanical engineer Tim Leatherman, hit the market in 1983. By 1993, Leatherman was selling more than one million of them a year. In the blockbuster movie "Speed," Keanu Reeves used a Leatherman to save the passengers on a doomed bus. Even MacGyver has been seen with one of these trusty tools. But their best reviews come from everyday people. The Leatherman survival tool is a mainstay of travelers, sailors, fishermen, hunters, backpackers, and scouts.
The simple, durable Expanse Series knives draw on Leatherman's legacy. While the e33T knife doesn't feature the signature Leatherman pliers design, it is available in several multi-tool variations. If you work with rope or clean fish often, you might enjoy the versatility offered by the e33Tx, which has a combination straight and serrated blade. Similarly, Leatherman offers the e33L, a model for those who don't need screwdrivers on a daily basis, as well as the e33B, a multi-knife with an integrated bit driver.
All Leatherman tools, including the e33T Straight Blade Knife, are backed by a 25-year warranty.

LEATHERMAN Leather Sheath for Juice Packaged Model 930905 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I too have lost both the tool and sheath with this clip system.I wrote and let the Leatherman folks know, but they said this was the first they'd heard of the issue.Find a sheath with a belt loop.It's too easy to lose a very nice tool with this one.

Click Here to see more reviews about: LEATHERMAN Leather Sheath for Juice Packaged Model 930905

Product Description:
Leatherman tools came about as Tim Leatherman, founder of Leatherman Tools, traveled abroad. Leatherman traveled abroad in a 1969 Fiat. During their travels it was discovered that the car was cranky and had leaky pipes. Leatherman conceived of the idea of a pocket survival tool. He worked in the basement of his home to create this tool. He wanted a tool with full size pliers with a pocket knife. Leatherman created the multipurpose tool calling it Mr. Crunch to which he received a patent for this. Sales grew and Leatherman introduced another tool. This one has more features with all locking blades. Then Leatherman decides to go small. The ultra tiny micra becomes and remains the category's top seller. Be sure to check out the Leatherman Surge Multi-Tool with Black Nylon Sheath. With these features, plus Leatherman's strongest scissors yet, Surge is sure to make a splash at the work site. The Leatherman Charge XTi Multi-Tool with Premium Nylon Sheath. The perfect tool for the most ambitious outdoorsman or the most demanding professional. And look at the Leatherman Removable Bit Driver with Black Nylon Sheath. Very convenient and easy to tote.

Leatherman 831180 Super Tool 300 Stainless Steel Multi-Tool Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just ordered 6 of the Leatherman Super Tool 300's as groomsmen gifts and I was looking for the black versions of it.Well, the title of this item clearly says LEATHERMAN 831180 MULTI-TOOL, SUPER TOOL 300, BLACK.Without any other information given, one would expect it to be the black version, right?WRONG.I assume the title got truncated and the rest of it was going to say BLACK NYLON SHEATH or something.Either way, it's a good tool and I'll be pleased with it (and I'm sure my groomsmen will too)...other than the fact that it's silver, not black.

Leatherman Crater c33Tx Combo Straight/Serrated Blade Knife Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is by far the favored knife of my collection. It's the one I carry while camping, hiking or just need to cut something at home. My favorite feature is its blade opening system. It took me a few minutes to figure out, but once I did, I've determined that it's the easiest opening knife I've ever owned. There have been plenty of times when I've only had one hand available and have had no problems opening and using it.

The carbineer also works as a bottle opener. Like mentioned in another review, closing it is not very self intuitive, but I felt a little silly once I figured it out and realized how easy it is; all you have to do is press it down, then fold it in. The bottle opener works well, but you have to place it over the top, snap the cap then press down. This is opposite from most bottle openers, but, again, it's easy once you do it a couple times.

My only beef with this knife is it's thickness. When wearing baggier shorts, I can't tell that it's there, however, when in jeans, it's noticeable. That being said, it's a lot easier to carry than my Gerber or SOG multi-tools.

So, in summary, buy this knife. At $28 (at the time of this review), you will not regret it.

Premium, US-Made Steel for Performance
A sharp knife is not only more useful than a dull knife, it's also safer and easier to control. A blade with a durable precision edge lets you make the cuts you want safely and quickly.
Crater Series knives are crafted out of US-made 420HC steel from Crucible Metals. This steel was selected by Leatherman because it provides excellent edge retention, which means your knife stays sharp longer. Plus 420HC is tough, not brittle, and it is corrosion resistant.
Crater Series knives are finished with a hollow grind, the same "premium" grind found on straight razors and some high-end kitchen cutlery. This grind technique creates a natural release when cutting, so materials don't stick to the knife, giving you a better cutting edge. The knife's full 2.6-inch blade provides plenty of versatility for cooking up backcountry meals, cutting rope to build the perfect bear hang, or even breaking down boxes to toss in the recycling.
Locking, Drop-Style Blade for Safety
A liner lock lets you secure the blade of your c33Tx in the open position, so you don't have to worry about it closing on your hand while you cut. This safety feature is especially important when slicing through tough materials like braided nylon rope. Having a liner lock instead of a traditional lockback system makes the c33Tx easier to open with one hand. It also ensures that it's easy to unlock the blade and close the knife.
Leatherman's registered Blade Launcher technology makes opening this Crater Series knife even easier. With the Blade Launcher, you simply engage a conveniently placed mechanism to open your knife. A standard thumb stud contributes to the simplicity of one-handed operation, too.
Leatherman uses blades shaped in a drop-style for all their c33 knives because they fit nicely in the handle of your knife when not in use. Plus, a drop-style blade is stronger than a clip point blade, which you might see on other pocket knives.
When it is time to sharpen your knife, you'll appreciate that Leatherman knives can be re-sharpened using standard methods. There are many ways to maintain a sharp blade, so you should be able to find one that works well for you. Sharpening stones, round files, and special kits (not included) can help ensure long-lasting performance.

Skeletool CX, Black Carbon Fiber Scale, Nylon Sheath Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just wanted to point out that the reason why this has a different listing than the other model is because the 2008 model has a combo straight/serrated edge blade (which i love). The newer model was switched to just a straight edge blade. its basically just your preference.. but i suggest you get the combo, only because they stopped making them. so they are going to be hard to find.
