Not the best material, blade steel, but from what I hear is good enough.
Not very smooth, add a little oil and it'll be fine.
Bottle opener is okay, not needed, but signifies that it isn't a serious, outdoors knife.
Opens and closes okay if you have small hands or have enough dexterity to manage. I think it's adequate.
The Good: It's small, great for offices or other public type places that don't allow a knife larger than this.
Comes sharp enough for me, I only use for small items like opening packages or cutting thin wires etc around the house. I feel comfortable carrying it almost anywhere and will gladly do so as it is very light and fits nicely in my pockets. The bottle opener is perhaps not the best but it works and comes in handy if you don't want to open bottles the cool ways.
This is a small knife used for cutting things. Same blade size as my skeletool cx. It’s super lightweight so can be carried as a backup or when you don’t want the weight of a bigger knife/tool.
Not a self defense knife. Not a hunting or survival knife. Just a good lightweight knife to use for cutting tasks.
Actually... I’ve lost them on the farm, but after I bought a replacement, the lost one would turn up. Lol. Every time. I’ve lost my original KBx 7 times... that bottle opener is a catcher. I’ve noticed it’s your shirt that catches the hook and pulls it up and out. It’s very lightweight. I’ve grinded the opener off a couple and it solves the problem. But if you regularly drink hard capped beer(I do, Spotted Cow!!) it’s dang handy to have the opener. Yes, there’s a million ways to open a beer... but the convenience of the opener keeps me packing the no modified ones.
I do like the KB better, easier to sharpen with a straight blade. They need to offer it in different colors!!
PROS: Very well built, light, slim, blade was sharp out of the package
CONS: Its small, bottle opener occasionally catches on things, liner lock is a concern in the long-term.
I wanted a knife that I could fit easily in slim chinos or jeans that left me enough room to easily get things in and out of my front pocket (I carry using the pocket-clip in my right-front pocket for jeans and usually my right-rear pocket for chinos). This knife's minimal design met this requirement. Other slim knives I've owned (Spyderco Delica) fit into a front pocket very well using the pocket-clip, but because of their blade design, still make getting your hand into your pocket difficult. The minimal design also allows for it to be lightweight despite its all-metal construction. Speaking of its construction, It seems to be very well built for such a minimal knife. The blade was thicker than I thought it would be and razor sharp out of the package. This is the sharpest knife I've ever owned out of the package. Because of its minimal design, its blade hinge is not fully boxed (I don't know if there is some knife-term for this) by both sides of the handle like most folders, but instead bolted to one side of the handle. This originally worried me, but after 8 months of light use the blade has remained rock-solid. It stills sits nice and centered in the handle when closed as well. The liner lock is secure, but because of the fact that the blade is not sandwiched between both sides of the handle, there is nothing to keep the liner captive against the blade once engaged. This has not caused any issues yet, but could become a problem as the knife ages or under extremely heavy use. Aside from the potential long-term problem with the lock the only other con to this knife is the bottle opener. By no means was the bottle opener a requirement for me, but I thought it was a nice little bonus. I didn't give it a second thought. However, as other reviewers have written, it gets caught on things. Not enough to be a deal-breaker for me, but it is an issue and has caused the knife to nearly fall out of my pocket a few times. If it does become more of an issue for me I will grind the bottle opener off like others have done.
NOTICE: As other reviewers have stated, this knife is small. If you are a heavy-duty user or have very large hands this is probably not the knife for you.
It makes a great partner to the Leatherman - Tread LT , the multitool bracelet that has a small hook cutting tool, but no blade.
On the down side, the handle is small, and may not be comfortable for many hands. The blade has several holes that make it easy to open but can fill with dirt or other crude. Because of the small size and the holes in the blade, it isn't great for food type chores that my pocket knives often are expected to perform.

Besonders beeindruckt bin ich von der hochwertigen Verarbeitung und den durchdachten Details. Die Einhandbedienung ermöglicht schnelles und einfaches Öffnen des Messers, und die Verriegelung sorgt für eine sichere Nutzung. Das Design ist schlicht und ansprechend, und die Griffform liegt angenehm in der Hand.
Ich war angenehm überrascht von der Vielseitigkeit dieses kleinen Klappmessers. Neben der Hauptklinge gibt es noch einen Flaschenöffner, der das Messer noch praktischer macht.
Alles in allem kann ich das kleine scharfe Klappmesser von Leatherman wärmstens empfehlen.
Du coup mon frère l a acheté et est tout aussi content.
