I own a Crater c33L and an Expanse e33T, I cary them in my pocket or clipped on the shoulderstrap of my backpack when I have my Leatherman ST300 on my belt, so I have my "one-hand-opening-knife" needs covered ;).
Love them both :tu:.

One thing to watch out for: The inside of the scales are hard and sharp. If you don't break those edges, you might slice your finger open (like I did) when using the quick deployment nub on the back of the blade.
The screwdrivers are FAR superior to those on even Vic SAKs. The half-and-half blade is also very good. Strong, pops right out, once the pivot bolt is loosened a bit.
One-handed carabiner? Meh.
I never carry it though: no toothpick. Shallow, I know, but when you need a toothpick and can't find one, it is frustrating. ;)

I have a C33B and have to say I am a little disappointed with it. It is OHO only if you're right handed. And there is no way to swap it over because of the bit driver. If it were OHO for a leftie, I'd be quite happy with it (although the scales are a bit unfinished for my tastes). :whistle:
I have to agree with you on the scales and the oho is not all that great. I will carry it with a juice. One thing about the scales is the don't get jacked up like a sak.

I think that the C33 is an often underrated knife suggestion when people are looking for cheap EDC blades and I hardly ever see it being recommended on other forums when someone is asking for a budget knife. The crater constantly outperforms knives that I have paid more for.
Currently the crater is my carry at home option.

Will the scales be rigid enough?
Post by: colt 1911 on February 09, 2013, 03:26:41 PM
Id love to see a C33 with wooden scales.
Will the scales be rigid enough?
Working on, kind of a fine line between to thick or to thin.
Post by: Grathr on February 09, 2013, 03:39:46 PM
I guess its the same as when making wooden bows. If its too thick you can always remove more wood. If its too thin, you a have big problem.Id love to see a C33 with wooden scales.

The straight and Philips screwdrivers on the first two knives work great and I prefer these tools over my Victorinox SAKs.

Hi everybody. I'm new here. I recently picked up a leatherman knife to replace my lost c33tx. I bought it used and can't find any info on it. It looks like a c302 but with screwdrivers or a c304 with different grips. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.What you got there looks like a member of the c/e300 series, which is the model made BEFORE the c/e33.(NOTE: "e" denotes metal handle constructions)
The model you have has been retired and is no longer made. Hence, it's a collectors item. :tu: So GUARD IT WITH YOUR LIFE :whistle:

Mine, my favorite knife I've ever edc'd, it held a great edge, was easy to sharpen, strong enough I could actually use it, and inexpensive and common enough I wasn't afraid to just carry it, drop it, etc. Love this knife, definitely has proved its value.
Love the tip strength too. An impressive entry in the sub-$20 category, for sure.

Rereading the original post is this a crater/c33... club or a lm knife in general club? If it isn't a lm knife club I am outOf course you are welcome :tu: If you don't have a Crater. Don't panic! Just buy a C33 Crater the first chance you get! Tis cheaper than joining a freemason lodge :whistle:

I've carried this mostly almost everyday except for the rare time when I carry a Vic Tinker or Gerber EAB. I've thought about getting another mt but the C33T carries most of my needs.Joe, if you like C33T then you must try Kershaw Select Fire, I think it is a way better alternative, I am using it in my week long challenge, stay tuned.

It is now work bench knife. Yet very sharp and handy for tracing out patterns and slicing material that maybe a scissors would normally handle. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190613/3226e1ef9c20e7afd10d373a8e9e661c.jpg)also, have a new one in the knife box with other like blades and another yet in plastic shell.
Never was able to master the flipper, best was to open blade about 50%...
