The Backpacker Knife: A Perfect Companion for Outdoorsmen

For backpacking hunters and outdoors enthusiasts, having the right tools is essential. The Backpacker knife is a lightweight, versatile tool designed with these adventurers in mind. Paying homage to Chris' original 1980s Backpacker design, this modern iteration combines classic elements with advanced materials for enhanced performance and durability.

Blade Features

The Backpacker's blade is crafted from CPM Magnacut, a high-performance steel known for its exceptional toughness and sharpness. It boasts a hardness of 63-64 RC, ensuring it maintains its edge even through rigorous use. The blade measures 4.019 inches (102.09mm) in length and has a thickness of .135 inches (3.43mm), making it robust yet agile.

Design and Functionality

The blade features a drop point shape, which is favored for its control and precision. This design provides an ample belly, ideal for skinning tasks, while the drop point offers versatility for other utility purposes. Whether you're in the backcountry or at home, the Backpacker's blade is made to work hard and last long.

Handle and Comfort

The Backpacker comes with removable Canvas Micarta handles available in black or natural colors. This material is known for its durability and comfort, offering a secure grip without compromising agility. The handles can be easily removed, making deep cleaning a breeze and allowing for extra-lightweight hiking when necessary.

Sheath and Portability

To complement the knife's design, the Backpacker includes a slim KYDEX® sheath by Chris Reeve Knives. This sheath fits snugly whether the handles are attached or not and features standard 3/4" hole spacing for convenient attachment options. This ensures that the knife is easy to carry and accessible whenever needed.

Overall Specifications

The Backpacker knife is not only a tribute to a classic design but also a modern tool that meets the demands of today's outdoorsmen. Lightweight, durable, and versatile, it is the perfect companion for any adventure.
