Buy the G3 one

Sure, this will do the job, but the G3 one is so much better that I can't give this thing more than one star. This one is probably superior for opening letters though.

OK.

Like others have said, this does the trick, but does also come with BD skins. I prefer the G3 tool, as it is easier to us, and sets the skin back from edge. This works, fine, however.

It works

It definitely does the trick on cutting your skins- it also comes with the BD models, so no need to purchase it separately. Helps trim down the tiny bit from the edges for a more accurate- I just use scissors for the big hunks. But it does do the trick for the more pristine cut!

Comes with BD skins

I bought this at the same time as a pair of BD ascension skins. The tool worked great on these, but what I didn't realize at the time was that an identical tool also comes with the skins themselves. At under $3, not a big deal, but save yourself the trouble if you are also buying skins. I also think a box knife would work just as well if you are trimming the skins on the ski (which… read more is the only way you should do it IMO).

G3 tool is a lot easier

I tried using this to trim my first set of skins. It'll get the job done, but the G3 tool (http://www.backcountry.com/g3-trim-tool?wallE=5&_requestid=17954718) will make your life a lot easier (mostly because the G3 tool will automatically leave a 2 mm edge on your skins, and with the BD tool you need to measure this out). I found it well worth the $4 to buy the G3 tool and use… read more it on my BD skins to save myself the hassle of using the letter opener.

This is the real deal

This trim tool is to trim skins and works well enough for that. But, I did once also use it to open a letter from Publisher's Clearing House, too. Worked quite well in that department, as well. One star off because it didn't fare well when I tried opening a beer bottle with it.
