The TOPS Tibo has a list of features built into this knife that make it a very versatile tool. It not only functions as a back-up neck knife but at 6.25" overall and 1.9 ounces it will serve very well as a stand-alone fixed blade for minimalist backpackers who count every gram as well. It is also well suited to being carried in a piggy-back role paired up with a larger knife, and it fits well in the utility pouch of the ballistic nylon sheaths that are supplied with many larger TOPS knives. If you are wanting a very functional and light-weight small knife, one that multitasks well in various roles and offers a secure grip in even very bad conditions then the TOPS TIBO was purpose-designed to meet your needs.
