I'm looking for a lightweight knife (I don't care folder or fixed) that's great for long hikes. Think 20 miles a day carrying food & water.
I'm shaving ounces but don't want a wimpy blade that will break or is too small to be useful.
Current Carry:
Kershaw Blur
I'm eyeballing:
Benchmade 535 Bugout
That's 2 ounces lighter and almost the same blade length.
Any other suggestions? I can go fixed blade as well.
