Lightweight survival knife: the best options in one nice overview!
Lightweight survival knives are great for hikers and as a back-up next to your primary knife. When you are planning to enter the mountains with your backpack, you'll want to carry as little weight as possible. You'll think twice about any object you pack. A large and heavy survival knife will not be practical at all. That is when lightweight survival knives are great! Also, if you are already carrying a larger survival knife during a hike, a lightweight back-up is always a good idea.
Lightweight does not necessarily mean small
With knives weighing up to 100 grams we often talk about neck knives, but larger lightweight survival knives with a plastic handle can also have a decent blade. These knives are large enough to perform many survival tasks.
Please note: on our website we always state the weight of the knife without the sheath. So don't forget to include the weight of the sheath when packing your backpack.
