Skeletonized EDC Multitools

The Leatherman Skeletool Offers Seven Tools in a Compact Package

— August 27, 2018 — Art & Design

All of this comes in an incredibly lightweight package coming in at just five ounces.

Constructed entirely of 420HC steel, the Leatherman Skeletool is quite heavy-duty despite its light design.
