Re: knives and hiking
Backcountry Forum
interesting topic .. i used to carry a SAK when i was younger and now i use a benchmade osbourne 940sbk. it weighs less then 3 oz, the locking mechanism is well designed, and the blade is high-quality steel. it has served any needs i have encountered ... although i am a backpacker so don't need to build a log shelter, construct a canoe from a tree and i am not worried about defending myself from bears , mtn lions, marmot, pikas, rapid squirrels or horseflies.
i also carry a leatherman squirt p4 (plier version) which is handy for any gear/stove repairs, etc.
