Edge XT - Mini Utility Knife Multitool

Excellent. I love this small tool...great to open packages with and do all other kinds of things!

I live in Texas and in gym shorts 11 months out of the year because it’s hot and I work from home. That being said, I don’t need a heavy duty set of gear because I’m not outdoors in the trades. I was looking for a small lightweight no more then 1 1/2 ounces cutting tool with multiple uses. I’ve been using the Gerber Prybrid X for 6 years now and it’s 1.8 ounces and I thought it was heavy. I’m used to the system never had issues with the Gerber but this is only 1oz which is unbelievable and still has a prybar Philips 2d and 1/4 socket. I just hope it lasts as long or more the the Gerber prybrid.

Great for everyday carry. Xacto is more than just enough. Fit and finish are stellar.

I wanted a lightweight tool that had everything I needed. This tool is lightweight but also extremely small and slim which is nice if you're the type of person that doesn't only wear jeans. I can wear these on my shorts or joggers and don't even notice its there which is ideal

I've had several tools that just took up space and didn't do any good except fill my pocket with metal. Then I found the Edge XT. It is perfect. It would be more perfect if the blade slide was bolt action to eliminate the seperate lock button. The thin form fits in a pocket with other stuff without being bulky. The build quality is tough. The blade slide action is smooth.

Other than LEVER being upside down compared to all the pictures, I like it but I can't find my lanyard. It's here somewhere.
Does every product have a bottle opener? It seems like that's an easy way to get the number of features higher, but I don't think there's a need for that. I don't see a lot of bottle people.

Great tool overall. I use it daily since I received it 2 years ago.

I like this tool. It’s very useful and intuitive. My next purchase will be a Bit Kit, when you have them again.

Unfortunately, one of my XT tools has a sticky blade slide mechanism that often requires 2 hands to open. I’ve worked it back and forth many times and it persists.

Hopefully it will work itself out.

Versatile tool ... got one for everyday carry and a 2nd to keep on my desk. I appreciate the engraving and not having to prove ownership in case it mysteriously makes its way into my wife's purse. With that in mind, I'll probably order a few more as stocking stuffers. Sturdy and great quality - I will be on the lookout for new Lever Gear products.

I backed the Kickstarter, and my wife kept borrowing it to open her [many] Amazon boxes so I went ahead and got an extra one for her. Both are monogrammed which is a nice touch.

Just got it today. It’s very sturdy, yet lightweight. I was glad to see how small it really is, but not tiny. I love that the bit holder is magnetic. If you need the capability of these tools on it errday, and don’t want a full size multi, it won’t be in your way. And likely not even realize it’s in your pocket. I got the silver XT btw. Thanks.

Easy to carry, handy to have around. This little tool does the work of much larger and heavier tools. High quality workmanship makes this very useful. I would recommend this to everyone.

it really is a nice little tool i love it beside one little issue when i go to use the cutter the blade slides back in i reached out to customer service for a different reason to which they sent me a new edge rite out no questions asked but now my 2nd tool is doing the same thing i still love the tools i use them daily but wish the blades would lock to open as well instead of just when closed other than that no complaints great company and products

I supported Lever Gear's Kickstarter for these and bought two. Generally speaking it's great: light, handy, etc. However, the lock on one broke, and freely slips back and forth; I didn't notice until it stabbed my leg while in my pocket. I emailed them, and was told I could opt for a refund as an early backer; I never heard back or received a refund. After the first failed, the second has been gathering dust; not worth the risk.

TLDR: nice concept, but beware the blade.

Have bought many in the past for myself, family, and friends without any complaints. Handy devise to carry in your pocket.

Like all Lever Gear products it’s of high quality, looks smart and a useful tool. Great gear.

I love it comes in handy

Never had a chance to test the product

The beauty of the tool is like the adage about the best camera — the one that is always there. I always have it in my right pants pocket, no matter where or when (except of course on a plane). If it’s always there it comes to hand quickly — to tighten a screw, to cut open those heavy plastic mailers, to wedge open something, on and on. I use it far more than I thought I would and don’t like being without it. You can retrieve it and use it with one hand. The quality is outstanding— I have abused it by (blush) digging out some hardened old caulk in the bathroom. It is really tough. The small blade is stronger than you would think.. Very sharp so you have to be careful, but if it’s always in your pocket you handle it and fool with it so you get used to which way the blade comes out/. The blade has a lock to prevent accidental opening, but (don’t tell anyone) I leave it unlocked so I can reliably get it deployed quickly with one hand.

So this is a really good pocket tool. Disadvantages? You can’t clean or cut your fingernails.

Was one of the first in on the crowdfunded campaign and received a production unit on schedule. Used it daily for a few months and then had a small crack in the blade pusher plastic prevent it from opening. Reached out to support and was promptly sent a new unit- couldn't be happier with support behind this very cool and useful product!

Has not left my pocket since it arrived! I use it daily and love that it takes standard no. 11 blades. Unfortunately, the first one I received started to develop a loose lock. Lever Gear immediately sent a replacement. The replacement had a working lock but the slide sticks and never broke in. If LG fixed these issues, the XT would be a five start item.

Bet a lot of these get confiscated by TSA!

I'm correcting my December 24th, 2023 review. I purchased my first Edge XT on Amazon, but it came with a broken blade lock. Lever Gear personally checked the replacement they sent, which was awesomeof them. Within a few weeks, the blade lock broke. The blade would slide out somewhat on it's own, and it is SHARP. It is X-Acto brand.

By "broke," I mean the blade lock switch will move from side to side when bumped. The first would unlock by gravity when tilted. From recieving my replacement, I know the lock can be stiff. Also, from seeing my wife's Edge XT, I surmise that it breaks with use. Mine probably broke because I used it and kept it in my pocket where it would be bumped.

Today I use a twist tie to stop the blade from coming out, but the blade is removable if you want to be safer. Also, my slider stiffened up after opening and cleaning it, so that helps.

I exchanged messages with Lever Gear. But I can see they're still selling these and will go witth their policy of sending replacements for broken Edge XTs. I've recieved no warning, and no remediation outside of the messages.

The Lever Gear brand is great and useful on average. This specific item is great on paper, but falls short of being safe in execution. It's a new frontier for Lever Gear, but needs better R&D.

I carry the Edge XT in my front pocket with the included lanyard. It's easy to grab but small enough that I don't notice it. I'm notorious for forgetting my nice EDC knife when I go through TSA at the airport. I'm excited that I can cary a useful blade and dispose of just the blade and keep my useful EDC tool. Custom laser monogram is a nice touch! Makes a great gift as well.

Love my Edge XT and literally use it everyday. Out of the box I was surprised they managed to fit so much into something compact and easy to carry. Unfortunately there was a small manufacturer defect on mine (these things happen) and Lever Gear have sent a replacement out no questions. I couldn't do without mine now.

Can't wait to see what Lever Gear comes up with in the future.

A lot of other utility multi-tools are bulky/heavy and take up too much space on a key ring or don't fit on a key ring at all. The Edge XT feels like nothing in your pocket. It's slim and has everything you need for a basic, in-pocket multitool. I love that the razors are easily removable too, that's a huge plus for me.

I am currently enjoying my second order of The Edge XT; thanks to the companies management and their excellent lost freight claims department. My first order was delivered to someone other than me, thanks to my UPS fabulous logistics team in my rural area. The Edge XT is a great tool for my needs. It serves me as it should, performing daily task and working around The BullRing. A compact well designed EDC tool, with quality and functionality in place. Cheers

I absolutely love this tool and I've only had it a week I can't believe how much I use it that being said the locking mechanism(this could just be mine I'm not sure) could use a little work mine fells like it's constantly unlocking and opened while in my pocket I ended up not realizing it open and in reaching for my phone ne which I keep in the same pocket I cut my hand and now have some stitches. Really love the product just wish the lock was more secure and maybe made with metal or something idk I'm not a designer just a customer giveing my input

I've been rocking a toolcard for about three years now and it's become integral to my setup. I carry it on a decadent minimalist wallet which has served me well for eight years.

When I saw the kickstarter for the Edge XT I was excited and ordered right away. I was immediately impressed with how responsive you are to the community, and was excited to see what the final product would actually look like, but I have to say I wasn't prepared for what I got. First of all, the packaging was top notch. Great presentation, but looks aren't everything. The manufacturing of this tool is worth every penny! I can't wait to show it off to all my friends. Seriously, you knocked it out of the park with this one. Thanks so much for your hard work and I hope you're very successful with this product. You deserve it.

I've bought my fair share of everyday carry tools thru the years. Most of them collect dust in a drawer. Not this one! I get genuinely upset if I walk out the door without it in my pocket. Thanks to Mike and the team for creating such a useful tool. Love that they're representing my hometown as well. Keep up the great work!
