Our Verdict
Incredibly low weight at only 38 grams, this is a really useful tool that most backpackers will find a use for at some point on the trail.
This sleek and ergonomic locking blade must be manually unlocked to put it away; this is simple to do and can be accomplished with one hand, making it a much safer blade to use. The Skeletool KBx also has a bottle opener, which may be as handy as the knife.
