Having already owned a Surge model (ultra-complete, but ultimately rather bulky), I was looking for a very compact and discreet model that combines the essentials: a good blade, a screwdriver with 4 bit options, and pliers. For me, that’s the daily essential. Admittedly, the pliers don’t compete with those on the Surge, but this Skeletool CX fulfils all its roles, with the finish and quality true to the brand. I’m completely won over by this little gem, which never leaves my side now. Moreover, after several orders on the Military.eu website, everything has always gone very well. Top quality and delivery times!

The Leatherman Skeletool CX impresses with its compact size, light weight, and exceptional build quality. Reviewers highlight its day-to-day practicality, sharp and long-lasting 154CM steel blade, and ergonomic design, all making it well-suited for everyday carry, work, and routine tasks. This multitool includes only the essential functions—pliers, blade, screwdrivers with interchangeable bits, and a carabiner—eschewing the unnecessary extras of bulkier models. Its attractive, colourful appearance and useful pocket clip are often praised. Owners value the easy access to all tools, Leatherman’s renowned reliability and sturdiness, and the 25-year warranty.

I already have three skeleton knives in different colours, but this one is so unique that I couldn’t resist it. This tool works brilliantly for everyday use in the urban jungle. I value it for its appearance and for everything that is most useful in my EDC. I definitely recommend it, and I’m already looking at the next colour variants myself. I also rate my shopping experience at militaria.pl very highly.

This colour scheme looks truly impressive in person. The multitool is exceptionally lightweight, comfortable, and perfect for carrying in your pocket. The blade is very sharp, and the pliers work flawlessly. This is a product that is definitely worth recommending.
-
This multitool looks great and immediately catches the eye. It is very lightweight, comfortable, and works perfectly for everyday carry in your pocket. The blade is exceptionally sharp, and the pliers are solidly made. I recommend it with complete confidence.
-
Very lightweight. The blade retains its sharpness exceptionally well. The tools operate smoothly, and the carabiner and clip provide great convenience for everyday use. The product is worth its price.
-
Compact multitool with limited functionality, fits well in the hand and has a convenient clip. The blade sharpness is excellent (it shaves) We have bought here for the second time already, I recommend the shop
-
Since I already had the Leatherman Surge model, I was looking for something smaller and more comfortable to carry. The Skeletool CX performs excellently. It has all the most important functions, which prove fully sufficient in about 80% of situations.
-
I’ve just received my third Szkieletorek. The colours are brilliant. I’d already decided not to buy anything else, but I gave in again. This little tool suits me very well — it has everything I need for everyday use, without any unnecessary extras. On top of that, it looks great. I recommend shopping at military.
-
I received this compact and handy multitool. It feels good in the hand; the blade is a bit short, but it does its job. I bought it here and recommend the shop and the service
-
Leatherman excellent as always! A compact tool, that does most tasks that I want a pocket tool to do. Love the new colour! I replaced the bits to a glass breaker bit, and the combined philips 1-2 and flat bit.
-
Great product quality. The tool is lightweight as it doesn't have too many features, which is important in tourism. It's worth having different types of multi-tools. Unfortunately, the price of this product is rather high.
-
Very charismatic multitool, and in this limited Paradise colour it looks truly like a collector's item – it is a constant delight to the eye. The main feature of the CX version is a blade made from premium 154CM steel. Unlike the regular Skeletool, here the knife is plain-edged (without a serrator), and holds an edge brilliantly, doesn’t dull from every splinter, and cuts like a razor. The overall concept is excellent: nothing unnecessary, only what you really need every day – pliers, a great blade, a bit holder, and a carabiner-opener. The carbon insert slightly reduces weight, and you won’t feel it in your pocket at all. For heavy-duty tasks and repairing equipment, of course, it’s too light, as the skeletonised construction has its own strength limits. But as a stylish EDC tool for daily carry, to clip onto your jeans – it’s simply fantastic. Worth every penny.
-
This is the best pocket knife for everyday carry – it doesn’t weigh down your pocket like those multifunctional ones, but that’s a matter of taste. Simple, precise, perfect for daily use. I had a limited edition with carbon fibre, but unfortunately I lost it. I definitely won’t let go of this one.
-
The multitool is light and convenient to carry, it doesn't take up much space in a backpack or bag. It has fewer tools, but that was the intention and in my opinion, it works very well in this role.
-
The Leatherman Skeletool Cx is a great multitool for daily use. It has the most commonly used tools in a lightweight, compact and stylish package. No need for sheath or belt pouch for this one, it has clip and a hanger built in, which is a plus. Military.EU has a very competitive price on this one.
