Great little knife

By DB

from New Haven, CT on 5/25/2008

Pros:

Sharp Blade, Smooth Locking Mechanism, Ultra light

Cons:

Uncomfortable grip

Best Uses:

Camping, Climbing, Survival

Describe Yourself:

Avid Adventurer

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Good little knife. Safe, since when on a biner, it can't open and locks when open. Razor sharp, ultra light, fits anywhere and can be opened with one hand (smoothly). Only con is that the grip is not great when cutting tough material.

Small but useful

By Red from Bloomington, IN on 8/22/2007

Pros:

Durable, Easy to clean, Lightweight

Cons:

Not comfortable grip

Describe Yourself:

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I do like that it is lightweight and can hide easily on the back of your harness. The small blade, however, can make it diffiult to cut certain materials, espeically when little to no tension is being applied. Overall, it is an alright knife.

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I gave this to a climbing partner for his birthday. He said that this would have been a great thing for someone he was climbing with last year who had got their shirt caught in their figure 8 while rapping off the climb. They had to chew and rip their shirt out of the 8. If they had this little knife then they could have just cut it. It's a great product that doesn't have any plastic to crack while it is clipped to your harness or gear rack.

Poor Grip

Survival

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This is the perfect knife to put on your chalk bag loop and forget about it. It's so compact and light. When you get to the belay and need to cut away old slings or need to cut up the rope for emergency rap anchors you'll be glad you have it. (if you remember it's there)

Simple but effective knife

By Midwest mountaineer

from Iowa on 5/22/2006

Pros:

Bottle opener, Convenient biner clip, Easy to clean, Lightweight, Multi-function, Serrated blade

Cons:

Small handle

I wanted a light knife with a serrated blade, and a caribiner clip hole (I love that I don't have to worry about the blade flipping open.).

If you are counting ounces, this is the lightest knife with a serrated blade that I have seen.
