    Had a standard Skeletool which was confiscated when I forgot to take it out of my carry on bag. Told the security guard to keep it rather than throwing it away wastefully.
    Came home, bought an OG Skeletool CX with the carbon fibre insert, gave it to my friend as a little gift. He lost his at the airport, confiscated as well.
    Then I bought another CX last year and am sad it no longer has the CF insert but it's as good a tool as ever.

    The CX is a great alternative to a simple folding knife. 154CM in a multi tool simply rocks. I love the size and steel choice of the blade relative to the size of the tool. I also see it as a knife with the extras instead of a "traditional" multi tool (pliers with the extras). While the carabiner has been controversial to some, to me it opens up a whole new world of carry options (it can be clipped to a belt loop, a backpack, a lanyard, a keychain and more) in addition to being an effective and easy-to-access bottle opener because the whole tool is used as a lever.

      I’ve still got the Wave that I’ve had for over 20 years. The changing face of European legislation (and those London feral kids) have meant that it’s an home device. Although it does go on holidays and sit in the hold luggage packed inside a shoe for any holiday usage (usually nasal hair with the built in scissors - don’t laugh 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️).
      I still think the locking blade is a positive as how I’ve not lost my fingers as a kid with non locking blade penknives is a mystery. The locking blade just allows more leverage and is very useful.
      But hey, these are built in the USA and I’ll gloss over their gun legislation…
      An amusing story to finish with: many years ago here in UK my father was a stalwart member of a gun club (before legislation ruined that sport), target pistol shooting and the like. One of his fellow senior shooters turned up one day with a replica Colt Buntline Special (the 6” barrel job beloved of old Westerns). Dad asked Dudley, “what do you want an old style gun like that for?” Dudley answered, “to bang the nails in on the wanted posters……”

    I was excited to get the skeletool cx for father's day, but I have to say the wire cutter and stripper is absolutely garbage. The cutter was blunt and poorly spaced and crushes/folds the wire. It actually jammed on the wire's insulation and I had difficulty getting it to open again at the handle kept closing in instead of providing leverage to open it. This happened with 16, 18, and 20 awg wire, and left a messy, ripped wire. There is no excuse for this.
