Leatherman c33

leatherman_c33I stopped by a couple stores last night. One thing I have been looking at for a while is the Leatherman Crater c33
or c33L. Finally found one at Target. They had a pretty nice selection, at a fair price, of Leatherman tools in their camping isle.

My first impression upon opening the package… This thing is light. It actually freaked me out a little. The glass filled Nylon must is very light, along with the metal of the carabiner.  But it keeps a good balance with the blade. Once I felt the “action” of the knife I fell in love.

Opening the knife with the thumb stud takes some effort. This is good, I’ve had other knives open in my pocket… not a good end result. the Carabiner clips easily on a  belt loop.

I own another knife, it has been good, but This Leatherman is a Leap up in quality and craftsmanship. I can’t wait to buy more Leatherman tools now.

Update: I have had some time to use this thing in the “wilderness”. I love everything about it.   Very well crafted knife. I also love that the Bottle opener captures the bottle cap. No need to chase the cap under the fridge :)   My only regret is that I may have enjoyed carying the c33t, With the included screwdrivers.

Leatherman Folding Straight-Edge Knife with Multi-Tool

leathermanI’m a big fan of pocket tools, surprisingly I don’t own a Leatherman.  I do a lot of hiking and hopefully more camping next year.   I’ll probably go with the Leatherman 830298 c304 Folding Straight-Edge Knife with Multi-Tool.
and the The Tour of Leatherman’s Factory is also mighty impressive.
