I’ve owned a lot of pocket knives since my days as a Boy Scout, and few were as good as the Leatherman e33l (and its predecessor, the e304x). As a good general-purpose knife, the e304x has many advantages over earlier folders, not least being the blade launcher (it’s faster and easier to open one-handed than using the thumb stud, which is a plus when dealing with a stubborn piece of rope or something else that needs to be held in place while cutting). The carabiner clip / bottle opener has proven handy time and again, too–who keeps a stand-alone bottle opener on hand any more these days? I have four of the e304x: one in my camping gear, one in my car, one in my workshop, and one until recently I carried pretty much daily.
Imagine my delight when I saw this update to the model. The e33l has a couple improvements over the e304x, amazingly enough. The overall profile of the handle is thinner, so it takes up less space in your pocket, and it’s lighter by an ounce or so. The blade also has some grooves added to the base of the spine for better grip and control, and the pocket clip is improved to allow the knife to sit lower in your pocket. It even opens a little bit more smoothly, too.
The only negative I can see is that the harder steel of the blade makes it a bit harder to sharpen than other blades (154 CM stainless rather than your typical 440 stainless), but it’ll keep that edge longer, too.
Basically: the e304x was a great knife, and this one is even better. Leatherman e33L – Straight Blade Clam Increase your edge retention by almost three times over regular stainless steel with the 154CM stainless steel blade of the Leatherman Expanse e33L folding knife. A stainless steel reinforced handle gives this knife a slim sleek profile at only three ounces. Tools: – 154CM Stainless Steel Drop Point Knife (Straight Blade) – Bottle Opener/Carabiner Clip Features: – 60% Glass-filled Nylon and Stainless Steel Handle – Blade Launcher – Thumb Stud – Locking Liner – Stainless Steel Reinforced Handle – Removable Pocket Clip – 25-year Warranty Measurements: – 3.94 in | 10 cm (closed) – 2.6 in | 6.6 cm (blade length) – 3 oz | 85.31 g Mfg No: 8610140 Manufacturer: Leatherman
Lightweight yet sturdy enough for demanding jobs, the Leatherman 8610140 e33L Straight Blade Knife is a versatile tool that’s easy to store in your pocket, pack, or toolbox. A slim, folding knife with a reinforced handle and a blade launcher, the e33L is a perfect choice for the rugged minimalist and do-it-yourselfer. Whether you’re setting up camp in the wilderness or working on a project in your garage, this precision-crafted Expanse Series knife is packed with design elements that you’ll appreciate. .caption { font-family: Verdana, Helvetica neue, Arial, serif; font-size: 10px; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; } ul.indent { list-style: inside disc; text-indent: 20px; } table.callout { font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, serif; margin: 10px; width: 250; } td.callout { height: 100 percent; background: #9DC4D8 url( http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page /callout-bg.png) repeat-x; border-left: 1px solid #999999; border-right: 1px solid #999999; padding: 10px; width: 250px; } ul.callout { list-style: inside disc; text-indent: -12px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; } h5.callout { text-align: center; } .matrix { font-family: Verdana, Helvetica neue, Arial, serif; font-size: 10px; } .matrix_feature { font-family: Verdana, Helvetica neue, Arial, serif; font-size: 9px; } .matrix_header { font-family: Verdana, Helvetica neue, Arial, serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold; } img.withlink {border:1px black solid;} The Leatherman e33L Straight Blade Knife offers: Tough, US-made 154CM steel A folding, drop-style blade A liner lock for safety Blade Launcher technology A new clip lets Expanse series knives sit deep in your pocket.

Simple, Lightweight, and Reliable Sometimes, you don’t need a multi-tool packed with gadgets or a heavy-duty hunting knife. You just need a strong, sharp, reliable cutting blade. The Expanse Series e33L is a streamlined, folding knife with a sturdy, locking blade. Its 60-percent glass-filled nylon handle is reinforced with stainless steel to provide exceptional durability along with a stylish, contemporary look. This handle is shaped and balanced to sit comfortably in your hand, whether you’re chopping wild onions to flavor a meal or splicing rope on the high seas. And weighing in at just three ounces, the e33L isn’t bulky or awkward in your pocket. The in-handle storage system means you won’t have to carry a sheath, and a folding carabiner clip makes it simple to attach your knife to a belt loop or the side of your pack, so it’s always on hand when you need it. Mariners who keep their tools on lines will have a special appreciation for this clip. It also does double-duty as a bottle-opener. You can also opt to secure your knife with the included removable pocket clip. Premium, US-Made Steel for Performance A sharp knife is not only more useful than a dull knife, it’s also safer, since you’re less likely to slip and cut yourself. A good edge means you make the cuts you want to make quickly. Expanse Series knives are crafted out of US-made 154CM steel from Crucible Metals. 154CM is used because it has exceptional edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. Leatherman compared 154CM steel to 420HC, another durable, reliable steel used in knife blades, and found that 154CM holds an edge approximately three times longer. This means your knife will be sharp and ready to use when you reach for it. When it does come time to sharpen your knife, you’ll appreciate that Leatherman knives can be re-sharpened using the standard methods. There are many effective ways to sharpen a knife, so you should be able to find one that works for you. Sharpening stones, round files, and special kits (not included) all provide a nice edge. Locking, Drop-Style Blade for Safety A liner lock lets you secure the blade of your e33L in the open position, so you don’t have to worry about it closing on your hand while you cut. This safety feature is especially important when slicing through tough materials like nylon webbing or braided rope. Having a liner lock instead of a traditional lockback system makes the e33L easier to open with one hand. It also ensures that it’s easy to unlock the blade and close the knife. Leatherman’s registered Blade Launcher technology makes opening Expanse Series knives even easier. With the Blade Launcher, you simply engage a conveniently placed mechanism to open your knife. A standard thumb stud contributes to the simplicity of one-handed operation, too. Leatherman uses blades shaped in a drop-style for all their e33 knives because they fit nicely in the handle of your knife when not in use. Plus, a drop-style blade is stronger than a clip point blade, which you might see on other pocket knives. The 2.6-inch blade of the e33L provides plenty of versatility. This means you can rely on the e33L, whether you’re cutting rope to build a litter during a mountain rescue operation or carving your name on a bunk at Scout camp. About Leatherman: Time-Tested Survival Tools The original Pocket Survival Tool, devised by mechanical engineer Tim Leatherman, hit the market in 1983. By 1993, Leatherman was selling more than one million of them a year. In the blockbuster movie "Speed," Keanu Reeves used a Leatherman to save the passengers on a doomed bus. Even MacGyver has been seen with one of these trusty tools. But their best reviews come from everyday people. The Leatherman survival tool is a mainstay of travelers, sailors, fishermen, hunters, backpackers, and scouts. The simple, durable Expanse Series knives draw on Leatherman’s legacy. While the e33L knife doesn’t feature the signature Leatherman pliers design, it is available in several multi-tool variations. If you work with rope or clean fish often, you might enjoy the versatility offered by the e33Lx, which has a combination straight and serrated blade. Similarly, Leatherman offers the e33T, a model for those who utilize Phillips and flathead screwdrivers on a daily basis, as well as the e33B, a multi-knife with an integrated bit driver. All Leatherman tools, including the e33L Straight Blade Knife, are backed by a 25-year warranty.
