Leatherman Skeletool & Skeletool CX Switch Blades

Mar 29, 2010 Stuart Discuss

It appears that Leatherman’s popular Skeletool and Skeletool CX compact pocket multitools have switched blades. The Skeletool now features a partially serrated blade, whereas the CX now has a full plain-edge blade.

I’m not quite sure when this switch happened, but I’m guessing that it was done so that the Skeletool and Freestyle multitools can share a common blade production line. If you recall from our preview, the Freestyle has a partially serrated blade, and the Freestyle CX a straight blade.
