The TOPS Lite Trekker is the design of Leo Espinoza and Joe (Shangoman) Flowers. It strikes a balance of being both strong and light while being effective for the tasks it's designed for. The Lite Trekker is an excellent choice for adventurers that count weight in ounces.
The 1095 blade steel is heat treated to 56-58 RC and is flat ground to the top edge for the sharpest and lightest combination in its size class. It features a special "bare steel" patch on the spine to be used as a striker for use with fire steel. The Lite Trekker features green coated recesses in the handle for grip and high visibility.
This tool includes a Kydex sheath with spring clip along with a 3 rod fire-starter and 126 DB emergency whistle.
