Petzl Spatha Knife

The Petzl Spatha is a folding knife built for climbers and mountaineers rather than camp cooking, weighing just 43 g so it disappears in a pocket or on a harness. The blade locks open and uses a partially serrated combo edge — the plain section handles clean cuts on cord and tape, while the serrated section bites into stiffer webbing and rope sheaths that a straight edge would slip on. A hole near the pivot lets you clip a carabiner through it to cut one-handed, useful for freeing a stuck rope or trimming a sling without setting the knife down. At 43 g it is not a bushcraft or food-prep knife with a full-size handle — for camp cooking or heavier cutting tasks, a dedicated kitchen or fixed-blade knife is a better fit.
