Thanks for the nice pics. Hopefully they'll get me off the hook for not having taken pictures of mine yet Neil
As a conversation piece I'd love one but I don't think it'll ever make my EDC list. Nice shots BTW.
Totally worthless as a practical tool. More like a conversation piece. Thumbs down on this montrosity.
When ice climbing, I want minimum weight for functionality. Most important is the knife, but bit driver is essential for crampon and ice tool repair. A file is useful too. [...]In this setting, SwissChamps, Cybertools and most SAKs are just too heavy. I've gotta put a hand on some of the Ranger sized tools (since locking blades are a must), but currently, the Skeletool is the winnah!

Most (if not all) SAKs with <=4 layers weigh less than the Skeletool (although the blade doesn't lock, but perhaps someone would mod one of the Wenger S models). Even 111mm ones, such as the OHT and Locksmith come in at less than or around 5 oz (the latter also features a file).

And it is pretty handy to clip it to the rope so it can be sent down (or up ) to a partner. I don't think I've seen a SAK with this combo.
