Yeah it must be the filters I use in Lightroom, might have over exposed it a bit. Looks awesome though..!!

Hello! A long time ago I bought myself a Skeletool multi-tool with an unusual blade as a gift. Later I bought myself a Surge, and gave the Skeletool to my future wife. Many years later, while getting rid of junk, I found this miracle that was lying around unused! And it turns out that this multi-tool is already a great and valuable rarity. And in general, how many of these were produced in the world? Is there any precise data?

I have no idea how many were produced, but that's a mighty good-looking Sleke! :tu:

Love that the CX models now have double bronze washers instead of the white Teflon ones

Renewing my membership!

My first SKELETOOL that I carried clipped in my vest pocket on Carhart jacket during cool/cold weather was gifted to a hotel clerk one evening when he was describing the horrid experience of assembling furniture at his new apartment with a butter knife and finger tightening nuts.

I did replace that tool, yet it is still in the packaging.

A CX joined my tool family this week after a long journey from western Oregon to the midwestern plains.

And, of course coffee this morning.
If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

Thank you  :hatsoff:

Been eyeing a Cx for a while.
Trying to avoid the color selection vortex that hovers near this model.
Paradise, Guava, and that form of green awl have mystic powers that easily influence the weak spirited.

In fact I swore, when confirming this color was NIGHTSHADE, the Guava was listed as SAME DAY DELIVERY! 

Then checking if others had same commitment, it was no longer there.    See a moment of weakness.
If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

Now, maybe this as been discussed before, but I recalled my FREESTYLE, I bought many years ago part of a two item package.   Back then it was the FREESTYLE AND a CS  on clearance discounted for $16.  Each tool separately sold for a high price individually.

Actually the Freestyle was the first LM plier tool I carried for work, well before I found my ST300.

I was examining the CX and when I when upstairs to call it a day. I dug out the Freestyle.

Comparing the two side by side

Same blade style and shape. The FreeStyle and original Skeletool are 420HC and a combo edge.  Identical.

  [ You are not allowed to view this attachment ]  

Then the plier heads,  SAME!

  [ You are not allowed to view this attachment ]  

And lastly, laid the two on top of each other, the handles are shaped the same, just the Skeletool has been extended.

  [ You are not allowed to view this attachment ]  

Sorry if this is a known fact, but I was totally surprised, learning this about the Skeletool, because I do enjoy carrying the Freestyle, and back in the day I gifted my Skeletool to a hotel clerk that needed a tool to assemble furniture in his new apartment.  Bought a replacement, but never opened its package.



If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!
