Go to amazon if you want to hear all the gritty details and some reviews from real men in Iraq who use this knife on the daily, including one sniper team that cut a live wire with this bad boy. It shut down the lights in the city, left a gash in the blade, but the sniper suffered no electrical shock because of the insulated handle.

It has a steel butt on the handle to hammer glass for helicopter escapes (something we at THS do daily), an aggressive serrated blade for cutting brush and rope, and three holes in the handle so you can attach it to a pole and use it as a spear for catch fish, fighting boar, and preforming your best John Locke impression.

As if that wasn’t enough it has a carbine sharpener in the sheath, so it sharpens the blade every time you pull it out. This knife is always ready for action, even if you aren’t

If you’re looking for a great everyday carry tool that has everything you need, and nothing you don’t– look no further than the new Leatherman Cx Skeletool. With a pair of needle-nose pliers, wire cutters/strippers, external bottle opener/carabiner, bit driver, and amazing super-steel serrated blade that opens one-handed even when closed.

It has carbon fiber inserts, and the thing just looks awesome. I personally carry it all the time, and always get compliments and inquiries about it. It even includes a removable belt clip so you can wear it in your waistband and forget about it–that is until you need to crack open your next beer.
