Ultralight hikers don't want to lug around huge pieces of equipment; compact, lightweight and highly functional tools are preferred. The Vertebrae compact fixed blade knife is ideally sized for such situations. It is as rugged as any full-size knife, with its full-tang 7Cr17MoV stainless steel blade, rubberized grip and glass-filled nylon (GFN) sheath. But coming in at only 6.4 inches long, it is compact enough to shove in the top pocket of your backpack and go.
