Just bought the REI exclusive Skeletool. One look and I just had to have it! Got a good price too, using my dividend and $20 gift card, came out to about $30. I’ve never owned a coated Leatherman though, and this one seems to be a bit stiffer or grittier on opening. I’m talking about the pliers specifically, opening the tool right now is about as stiff as the last 2 Skeletools I’ve owned. Do the pliers heads smooth out or can I expect them to be gritty because of the coating? And speaking of, does anyone know what the coating is that Leatherman uses? Is it DLC? It already has a lot of “snail trails” right out of the packaging. Thanks for the input!
