Backpacker
With backpacking hunters and outdoorsmen in mind, the Backpacker is a lightweight knife designed for skinning and utility. A tribute to Chris' original 1980s Backpacker design, the newest iteration echos Chris' original details, with modern materials. Its blade provides ample belly and a drop point shape for more control. Its canvas Micarta handles provide comfort without sacrificing agility, though they can be removed for deep cleaning or extra-lightweight hiking. The slim KYDEX® sheath fits snug with the Backpacker's handles on or off. Razor-sharp and made to last, the Backpacker will work hard from the backcountry to home.
FEATURES:
- CPM Magnacut 63-64 RC Full Tang Drop Point Blade
- Removable Black or Natural Canvas Micarta handles
- Slim fit KYDEX® sheath by Chris Reeve Knives with standard 3/4" hole spacing.
