LEATHERMAN FREE K2X Folding Pocketknife 8-in-1, Serrated

I thought it is smaller but it is really big knife and built like a tank.

I carried a fixed blade knife in my waist band for the last several years (ESEE 4, Condor Kephart) but wanted to try my luck with a folder again. After several check-outs and returns, I pulled the trigger on the Free K2X. Although it IS thick, I like it a lot and definitely recommend. I was hoping I would like this knife _even though_ it was thick, but I think I actually like it BECAUSE it is thick. It feels like a very solid, hefty knife in the hand, which is good for a knife this length. I didn't want a knife that felt as light and thin as a hair comb or something, and this thing is a good fit. I keep it in my back pocket next to my wallet, so the thickness might be more of an issue for a front/side pocket wearer. Now, if it was just made super fat with no tools in the handle, it might feel kind of stupid. BUT THERE'S TOOLS! I like having a few extra implements at hand (and ONE hand at that). If you are just looking for a simple box cutter/letter opener, this may not be for you. I like that the blade shape, the overall styling, made in the US and 25 year warranty, but also this thing just feels and operates like a finely machined tool. I don't know what "magnetic locking" means, but this knife is very smooth in all its movements and very secure when locked (both open and closed). There is no play on the blade or tools when opened. The K2X looks and feels like a very well-made, high-quality device that is both handy and good to look at. Definitely recommend.

The Leatherman K2X is the best carry knife I’ve ever owned. The additional tools on the backside is what makes it so special for me. I used to always have dull knives from cutting boxes but now I can use the back tools & keep the knife sharp in the event I need it. I appreciate it so much that I bought one for all of the groomsmen in my wedding! So I am currently 5 deep on these. I highly recommend this knife - it’s the perfect balance between a standard pocket knife and a multi-tool.

Good build item needs earlier access to accessories for those with working short fingernails

I bought this Leatherman K2 two years ago. The first week I used it the tip snapped off. I sent it back to Leather man tool they were very very easy to deal with. it had a 25 year warranty. In one week I had a replacement of the K2. Very decent customer service.

So this knife is pretty much a T4 with a bigger blade. It is bulky and definitely not an every day carry. It is a good build but there are other knives out there that can do more and are convenient to carry around. You want something to fit comfortably in your pocket? Not this one.

Every single thing that Leatherman builds is of utmost quality, and is built to last. I've beat the hell out of this knife, and it's still kicking!

This meets all of my daily needs. Thin, lightweight very good clip. I use this at least 3 times everyday. For me, clipping just behind my belt, on my pants waist band, I find it very easy to get to. Unobtrusive and comfortable. Materials are classic Leatherman quality. I did have to dress the separated scallops a bit. Small burrs. Recomend this especially if a full multitool is impractical for you to carry. From carpenter to dress pants, easy to have on hand.
