In an effort to lighten the gear I take while hiking, I decided to get a lighter and simpler Swiss Army Knife. The model I chose was the Farmer model. This knife is nice for outdoor use for variety of reasons:

- Good quality stainless blade

- Handy wood saw

- Can opener and bottle opener

- Standard screwdrivers

- Useful awl for boring holes

- Aluminum handles

- Lightweight

This is a really handy knife that does just about everything I’d need when outdoors. The saw is very useful for making tent stakes, pot supports, etc. The awl comes out straight from the knife making it easy for boring holes and other tasks. Overall, the package is very light and practical.

On this knife I will make a detachable lanyard that holds an LED flashlight and mini-firesteel for fire starting. Basically it’s a little emergency kit right in my pocket.

If you’re looking for a reliable and simple outdoor pocket knife, the Farmer is a great choice!
