Chris Reeve Backpacker Natural Canvas Micarta Magnacut Stonewash Drop Point Fixed Blade Knife (4.02" Blade) BPR-1001

Light enough to earn its spot in the pack, the Chris Reeve Backpacker in Natural Canvas Micarta goes from slicing camp supper to skinning game on one stonewashed Magnacut drop point.

• Stonewashed Magnacut Drop Point - CPM Magnacut blends stainless-level rust resistance with high toughness and long edge life, a strong mix for wet backcountry trips. The drop point has a controlled tip for camp tasks and enough belly for skinning. A diamond stone sharpens it fastest at this hardness.
• Removable Natural Canvas Micarta Scales - Natural canvas Micarta shows a woven, earthy texture and stays comfortable without adding bulk. After skinning or a messy camp meal, the scales come off so you can clean every seam of the tang. The bare knife still rides snugly in the same sheath.
• Light, Balanced Full Tang - The full tang runs through the handle for strength in hard cuts. With scales on, the Backpacker weighs about as much as a deck of cards and feels nimble and well balanced in the hand.
• Slim Kydex Sheath with Ulticlip - The slim black Kydex sheath from Chris Reeve Knives holds the knife snugly with the scales on or off. An Ulticlip locks it to a belt or pack strap. Standard hole spacing accepts other mounts, and a black paracord lanyard is included.

The Chris Reeve Backpacker

The Backpacker revives a fixed blade Chris Reeve designed in the 1980s for backpacking hunters, rebuilt with modern materials in Boise, Idaho. It is built to be the one knife in the pack, handling camp chores most days and skinning when the hunt pays off. The design stays deliberately simple, with a full tang, a versatile drop point, and removable handle scales.
