So what do our instructors think? Here Jason writes:
"This is a good alternative to a fixed blade knife for light weight camping where you need to tuck something away in the bottom of your ruck sack. It has a very strong locking mechanism, is light weight and fits nicely in the hand"
Advantages: The blade is made from stainless steel therefore it is rust resistant. It comes with a 10 year guarantee from EKA. Small and light weight. Custom made leather sheath is available to purchase for this product.
