M1 Backpacker, Black Paracord, Black Coated Blade

The BackPacker is an extremely versatile, tough (S35VN) and light weight knife. A 'cross over' knife, it is well suited for hiking, hunting, tactical and more. Now available with an awesome tactical black ionbond coating, in addition to the stonewashed model, for a truly tactical looking knife. The incredible ionbond PVD coating increases the surface hardness to over 80HRC. It protects the steel against scratches, impact fatigue, oxidation, and virtually eliminates blade glare. The handle is wrapped in paracord for lightweight comfort and grip. Popularized by U.S. troops, paracord is strong, durable and mildew resistant which makes it an excellent choice for a knife handle. Comes standard with black paracord handle but several colors are available at no extra charge. Comes with a custom molded Kydex sheath for up, down or sideways carry.

Kydex is an extremely durable material that stands up to the toughest use without gouging or scratching. It's easy to clean up without damaging the surface or compromising the sheath. The Backpacker sheath design allows you to wear it on a belt in two ways, with the knife handle pointed up or parallel to your belt. It can be fixed for both a right and left-hand grab. You can also string paracord through the sheath and hang the knife from your neck without worrying the knife will slip out.
