Surprising that nobody seems to have suggested the 4.5 poly utility knife. I wish spyderco offered a sheath for it.
I always come back to lightweight and cheap-enough-to-lose when backpacking, because both qualities have value.
A full-size folding bow saw is also nice to have. I can't imagine using any knife for the things a real saw can do.
Best Spyderco for Backpacking
Re: Best Spyderco for Backpacking
i think we need a leafjumper salt. it would probably be the winner for me in this category.
keep your knife sharp and your focus sharper.

Re: Best Spyderco for Backpacking
I'd like to expand on my original recommendation (UKPK) by adding the Enuff 2. My wife has one and it's surprisingly light for it's blade length. It also cuts like a laser thanks to the thin stock and broad flat grind and carries efficiently because it is so light and thin.
