Urban Knife Guy shares his thoughts on the Leatherman Skeletool CX and why he thinks it is an excellent urban EDC tool that can replace a folding knife, Swiss Army Knife and a pair of pliers such as the Knipex Cobra XS.

Which Tool Combo for Bushcraft & Survival?
Просмотров 1,5 тыс.2 месяца назад
Which Tool Combo for Bushcraft & Survival?
I like the skeletool, i have a few of them. As much knife as you'll generally need for my urban carry. The RX model has a really nice serrated sheepsfoot blade. If i was pairing it with another tool maybe a Victorinox compact. To give you a straight blade option and scissors ✂️ Great vid. Cheers 🍻
I enjoyed this video. Liked and subscribed. I'd like to ask you which Spyderco model you showed in this video. It looks really nice and I'd like to get some more details on it. You sold me on the Skeletool. Now I want one.
Glad you enjoyed it and welcome. The Spyderco is the Para 3 but with micarta scales swapped in. You can check out my video on it here ruclips.net/video/MUvRo2VO6LQ/видео.htmlsi=b3rcPspS-EuCp3Zn
I am not a fan of the Skeletool. Not enough tools. No can opener. No awl. No saw. No scissors. And it is too big and bulky for only having 3 tools.
Hey great video however it is worth pointing out that it does have tweezers. The head is tucked on the outside face on the other side of the pocket clip under the left pivot screw.
are you sure? don't see it on mine.
Haha you made me look
skeletool + swiss card best combo. could also use a victorinox signature instead of swiss card
I like the skelitool and the swiss card- need to be on my wish list
The Skeletool CX is one of my go to EDC knives.
Get real! 😂😂😂
A pozi drive bit would have been better.
Is a pozidrive and flat head bit combo available?
@@urbanknifeguy to be honest I don't know. I tend to stick away from anything that has its own ecosystem.
@@ifell3 OK thanks!
For me the best urban edc tool from Leatherman was the Juice S2. Sadly they discontinued it.
Sadly!
I have the original CX since 2008, with partially serrated blade. It was my only tool/knife for a number of years. Once I settled down in my own place, the EDC tool craze started for me.
Nice! Thanks for sharing!
@@urbanknifeguywhat tool do you catch yourself carrying the most?
Nice video. It's worth noting that the CX also has an upgraded blade steel. A couple suggestions for a 2nd bit to carry if you're using the phillips/slotted combo bit: (1) The glass breaker / 1/4" slotted combo bit, which would add the glass breaker to the setup in the video without adding anything superfluous; (2) The #0/#3 phillips bit - with this and the #1/#2 combo bit you'll be able to handle just about any Phillips screw; (3) If you're a cyclist, the 4mm / 5mm hex bit is great because those are the most common drivers for screws on bicycles, (4) The Volty switch digital multimeter bit if you're into electrical/electronics work.
Thanks for watching! Yes, I mentioned the 154cm steel over the standard 420HC. Thanks for the great suggestions for the 2nd bit. I will look into them!
@@urbanknifeguy I'm sorry, you did mention the steel upgrade.
@@kevincrawford6243 No worries! Thanks for your suggestions again.
Made in Pakistan? No, thanks tho....
Victorinox Waiter is an Amazing first SAK
👍👍
The 154cm model is made of stainless steel, but I've heard that it rusts easily. Is any care required?
Technically it should not rust easily. I have no problem with it but I do not have problem with any of my Knives, even carbon steel. As each time I come back from the field, I clean, scrub, dry, oil and strop my knives. In the field, just wipe it dry if it gets wet. If you are outfield for extended periods like weeks, then bring a small bottle of oil.
Is it a good idea to remove the handle periodically to clean it?
@@user-wb7yj3wk6o Yes, it is a good idea.
@@urbanknifeguy Thank you, from humid Japan.
@user-wb7yj3wk6o Similar to our environment here but at least you have seasons!
This is another guy that doesn’t go out in the woods. Not even his back yard. Look at his knives. Not used at all. No marks on his knives. Looks like he just bought these! He is not that educated.
Indeed. No woods in this part of the world. And no backyard too.
I like the super tinker for urban edc
Good choice!
You need to do more of this!!
Ok. Will do!
I think that the Signal and maybe the Skeletool are essentially just toys. The latter might be a decent starter tool for a pre-teen, but that's about it.
Interesting thoughts. Which of the Leathermans do you think are not toys?
@@urbanknifeguy The Wave, Surge, and Charge, for sure. The Free series almost makes the cut, but they suffer from some serious design flaws. Think file and ruler.
@@michaelcolloton6971 OK thanks for your input!
13:54 curious, what religion dictates you carry a knife in your pocket without a pouch?
I went back to watch as I could not remember. And it most likely is UKGology created by Urban Knife Guy. But not everyone adopts it and it may not be widely recognised yet.
@@urbanknifeguy uh checking, are you replying to me? "UKGology created by Urban Knife Guy" If yes, then it sounds like the religion is called "UKGology" and created by Urban Knife Guy. but aren't you Urban Knife Guy?
@@RocZi yup
@@urbanknifeguy so what is UKGology religion?
@@RocZi unfortunately, it is difficult to reply in a comment. It is anything and everything, yet is nothing.
Super Tinker.
👍👍
And a Rambler lives permanently on my keychain.
The tourist is the bomb
👍👍
I mean they look nice, but idk how I feel about an assortment of tiny tools that is unecessarily made out of titanium. Kinda odd combination too, at what point would you need a survival flute and the worlds smallest spirit level?
A large Pre-threaded Sail Needle and Clear Glue Stick would increase the versatility of your kit. Also a small container of a Cleaning, Lubricating & Protecting Fluid, like the ones used for weapon maintenance, would be very useful since your kit leans towards Mechanical Repairs.
Great ideas! Thanks for the suggestions!
You’re very welcome! I hope you add them to your kit. A toothbrush and a Brass Wire Brush on the opposite end could also bail you out. Last good idea is to put Baking Soda into a straw and heat seal both ends.
You can use the wire stripper (little groove near the bottle opener) instead of spoiling the tweezers. It works in a single shot
Yes thanks!
Interestiing. Which jungle you guys ventured to? Would love to see this in a longer/detailed format showcasing the tools and how those are was used in the tropical jungle. Thanks
Bukit Kiara, KL. Not sure if there is big interest in the long-form format. But, I'll do one tet video in the near future. Thanks!
Great video. I enjoyed seeing the countryside. Thank you.
Thanks for watching
i wonder how long it took to set up everything. pretty sure everything was pretty quick, right?🤔
We took our time and filmed content in between. We probably spent about 5 hours out in total, including hiking in and out of the jungle. But honestly, a lot of time was spent looking for my buddy's gear which he kept misplacing and leaving all over the place.
@@urbanknifeguy😂😂😂
I carry and Alex cadet daily and in my backpack I daily carry a farmer.
Nice! Thanks for sharing.
Great to see the similarities in gear selection. Cheers 🍻
Glad you enjoyed. Thanks!
Excellent video.
Thank you very much!
My Mora Companion in 12c27n and Sencut Phantara in 9cr18mov for general hikes in the woods 👍🏾
First time I have seen a Sencut mentioned. Nice! Thanks!
@urbanknifeguy 9cr18mov is easy to re-sharpen out and about, and the Phantara has a broad, lead-shaped blade that is very useful.
set for adventure
Indeed!
Говнище же... из отходов.
Great vid! Yeah no reason for a glowing compass at night. If I was outdoors and the sunset… I’d probably camp and conserve flashlights. Use the compass when I woke up.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
In the jungle, you can't remember your name!
I can't remember a lot of things in the jungle.
Another great video! With knives this large, have you considered the Ruike LD series? They are 114mm long. The LD42B adds a couple of tools to the Forester, including scissors and a rope cutter. There is no can opener, but the awl is in line and it has tweezers in the scales. It's a bit heavier with the extra tools and length.
Thanks! No, I do own any Ruike knives. I will check that one out!
SOG Synch and SwissCard would work great. As would a 58mm SAK. Also LeverGear Edge XT.
Thanks for the suggestions!
фильм "Cast Away" смотрел? вот там герой был бы очень рад обнаружить пассатижи, когда у него заболел зуб 😬
😝
Save you the trouble, even the tiny knife u get in a swisscard is verboten in Singapore.
That is not true! 🤣
Uh huh, i got that straight from the boys in blue.
@@jessicaregina1956 I think there is a bit of nuance to it as I discuss in the video. By law, it is legal.
I actually asked one of them, plus ive been jacked up for carrying..... So yeah i think i know what im talking bout.
This is a place where water guns and keychains shaped like guns get their attention, buddy.
What's this fucking disturbing noise in the background, godamm
It's the jungle. I'll tell the bugs and critters to keep it down next time.
Sensible
Thanks for watching!
Muốn mua mặt hàng này
Which item?
Looks cool but idk if I’d want to hike with that
No, you would not hike with it. If you hike, the hatchet goes to the pack. But when you are at camp to perform camping or bushcraft tasks, the hatchet is transferred to the belt system for easy access as you move around camp. Thanks for watching!
thanks for showing
My pleasure 😊
the flashlight wasn't made for dumb people, it was made by dumb people. look at the runtimes and tell me you want to do search and rescue operations with this.
Great video! The Compact is great. Companion adds more weight and width but more features. IMO the tradeoff is worth it. Much better than the Climber. One layer thicker than the Compact, but you get a file and package opener and awl. You lose can opening but this is not a camping knife. In fact, I added a Cybertool layer to my Companion. Takes the screwdriving options from 2 to 10. The knife is about the size of a Ranger (23mm and 118g).
Nice mod! Thanks for watching!
Carry what you need and need what you carry! Some people need instant access to pliers. I don't. I have pliers at home, the car and in my messenger bag. I've never needed pliers quicker than I can retrieve one of those. YMMV.
Thanks for your input!
Those are two different types of pliers. That one grips like a mini pipe wrench. For yourself, you should have bought the pliers version that doesn’t have teeth. 86 04 100
Thanks for that! But personally, I don't think it will make a difference for me. Thanks!
Great there is a Southeast Asian review! Always see reviews from western countries where the climate is more temperate and not tropical like these parts. So why choose this and not a parang?
Thanks! I do use a parang as part of my standard 3-Knife System ruclips.net/video/dDmLkhmDPgI/видео.html But I'm always trying out knives! Thanks!
