Our Verdict
At 45g and only 9mm thick, it carries almost unnoticed yet provides a 93mm stainless blade with enough strength for everyday trail tasks. The embossed aluminium scales feel secure, even when wet, and resist scratching well. Edge retention is decent for the steel, and the flat grind makes sharpening simple. While it lacks the extra functions of a full Swiss Army knife, the simplicity here is its appeal.
I am not one for carrying a multi-tool on the trail, but a small knife like this, weighing so little, is perfect for me when cutting sausage or cheese, two of my trail favourites, and for the occasional camp chore. For anyone who values minimalism without compromising on reliability, it is an excellent option.
