Skeletool owners club
« on: July 30, 2011, 06:03:07 AM »
Couldn't find this thread yet so I thought I would start one, just found the combo edge cx I've been looking for today brand new, love it already. It's not going to take the place one my belt that's reserved for my Vic spirit but there's prime real estate in my pocket! Took the pics for the great beer thread but this work too

Yep, it should be one for sure... I'm EDC'ing my skele this days and it's a great MT for just hanging around house, or general purpose...

There is method to my madness....

Nice blue one mate. :tu:  How's the finish?  Feel tough or likely to flake?

Nice lanyard xelkos, I'm not usually a fan but skele is a perfect candidate for a lanyard. Did you make it yourself?

Thank you!

It is painted, much the same as the red ones that have been around a while. If it were a carry tool it would chip/peel/flake (I can already see a bare spot on the lock release where the blade is held closed), but as it's a shelf queen it will be blue for a good long time.  :angel:

I'm really liking the skele, for a descent knife in the pocket with my three most used tools it's pretty good. I looked at gerbers crucial and octane but didn't like the fit and finish of them. Carabiner a bit useless to me but I try to think of it as a utility hook. Anyways do you really need a file and saw when going out to dinner? Okay maybe but that's why the ST300 is in the glove box!

Oh, no. Never have made a lanyard. The aluminum ferrule was a spare computer part I had laying around. Para-Cord made it. Won a lanyard from Para-Cord's Facebook Page and they said I could change the colors if I wanted. Have bought a couple other lanyards from them since.

Have a purple and silver one, with a glow in the dark bead, on my Juice XE6 they made.
