Leatherman Skeletool KB
The everyday pocket tool that weighs just 37 grams.
The Skeletool KB is Leatherman's simplest everyday-carry tool: a slim, locking 420HC blade for parcels, packaging and cord, and a bottle opener built right into the pocket clip. Lighter than a set of keys and slimmer than a pen, so you'll barely notice it until you need it. Made in Portland, Oregon.

See the Skeletool KB in action
Watch how slim it is, how the blade locks, and how the clip opens a bottle.
Simple, slim and always with you
So light you'll forget it's there
At 36.85 g and just 0.76 cm thick, the KB weighs less than most keyrings. The skeletonised steel frame and slim aluminium handles keep it featherweight while staying strong.
Clip it inside a trouser pocket and it rides flat and out of the way all day.
Made for everyday jobs
A 6.6 cm 420HC stainless steel blade handles the small jobs that come up every day: opening deliveries, cutting cord and packaging tape, trimming tags and slicing fruit at a picnic.
The blade locks open while you work, then folds safely away.
A bottle opener in the clip
The pocket clip doubles as a bottle opener, so it's always on the outside and ready to use. No unfolding needed.
The clip is replaceable, and Leatherman backs the whole tool with a 25-year limited warranty.
Two tools, done well
The KB keeps things simple: just the two things you reach for most often.
420HC locking blade
A 6.6 cm stainless steel blade with a black oxide finish. Opens parcels, cuts cord, tape and packaging, and slices fruit. Locks open while in use and is easy to sharpen at home.
Bottle opener clip
Built into the replaceable pocket clip, so it's always on the outside of the tool. Pops crown caps on soda and glass bottles in a second.
Choose your colour
Same tool, four finishes. Pick yours from the options above.
Black & Stainless
Black handles with a stainless steel frame. Clean, classic two-tone.
Onyx
A deep, all-over black Cerakote® finish. Low-key and smart.

Nightshade
A deep, dark Cerakote® tone that stands out quietly.

We manage the claim
We coordinate the repair or replacement with Leatherman's India distributor and keep you updated until it's back with you.
The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship. Normal wear (including wear on the colour finish), misuse, and lost or stolen tools are not covered. Keep your LightMen invoice, as it's your proof of purchase.
Keep it working like new
Clean
Pocket lint collects in slim tools. Rinse in warm, soapy water now and then, and dry it fully with the blade open.
Oil
A drop of light oil on the pivot keeps the blade opening smoothly.
Sharpen
420HC sharpens easily on any stone or pull-through sharpener.
Use it for cutting only
Prying or twisting with the blade can chip the edge. For prying, use a tool with a pry bar, like the FREE T2.
Questions customers ask us
Where is the bottle opener?
It's built into the pocket clip, so it's always on the outside of the tool and ready to use without unfolding anything.
Does the blade lock?
Yes. The blade locks open while you work, then releases to fold safely away.
Does it need a sheath?
No. The KB is designed to be carried clipped inside a pocket. It's so slim and light that a sheath isn't needed.
Should I choose the KB or the Micra?
Choose the KB for the lightest, slimmest pocket tool with a locking blade and a bottle opener. Choose the Micra if you also want scissors, tweezers and screwdrivers on your keychain.
Is it a good gift?
Yes. It's light, useful every day, comes in four colours, and can be personalised for free with laser engraving on the handle. See examples of our engraving.
Can I take it on a flight?
Not in your cabin bag, because it has a blade. Pack it in checked luggage.
How quickly will it reach me?

B
I recently picked up the Leatherman Skeletool KB for everyday carry, especially when I’m suited up. It’s astonishingly slim and lightweight—just about disappears in your pocket, unlike my Ruike which always felt clunky with dress attire.
Right out of the box, the blade was razor-sharp and the build quality spoke volumes—precision machining, clean skeletonized frame, and a smooth liner lock. Opening it one-handed feels satisfying and intuitive.
The 420HC stainless steel blade is a dependable workhorse—takes an edge well and handles everyday tasks like slicing paper or trimming tags without complaint. And that pocket clip? It doubles as a bottle opener—convenient without adding bulk.
The handle is minimal—fine for quick tasks, but for extended or tougher cutting, your fingers might feel a bit cramped. Still, it’s a trade-off I’m totally cool with given how feather-light it is.
Also, shoutout to LightMen—their service is always top-notch, and the custom engraving on my knife was crisp, clean, and perfectly done. Little details like that really elevate the experience.
Bottom line: If you want a no-nonsense, ultra-light, reliable EDC knife that looks sharp (literally and figuratively) with formals, this KB is a winner.
C
4000/- bucks for that
piece of shit???
Amazing!!!!
R
Great small tool, nice finish and very sharp. But a tad bit small for someone with big hands, feels clumpsy while opening with one hand, could improve on that.
L
I love the Leatherman Skeletool KB knife, it's simple and light, yet good all round knife for edc which is my main reason for carrying it. Overall, great knife and quality.
K
I used this compact folding knife for lite sea fishing several times. I prefer travel style fishing with mobile rod and backpack by using public transportation. This knife perfectly much my style and strong enough to cut the spine of fish. ofcourse able to clean fish also.
So far no rust and very sharp even using salt water environment.
One thing have to mention..
I re-fixed the blade bolt by red loctite because the bolt losen after a week use.
We ship from our Wear-house in Hyderabad within 24 hours of order receipt.
Orders received before 11am are shipped the same day.
