How Backcountry describes the Spatha Knife
Perhaps the most useful tool you can have in the backcountry is a utility knife. Petzl's Spatha Knife is a lightweight, single blade, emergency knife perfect for cutting cord, webbing, and an array of materials you use in the backcountry. Designed specifically for guide climbing, the Spatha can be opened with a single hand and has a clever hole in the handle that fits a carabiner to a tee. Attach it to your harness or bag, and you're all set. Should you ever need to escape from a belay or cut a partner loose, the Spatha will save the day. The small version has a serrated blade great for cutting webbing and rope; while the large sports a smooth blade ideal for cutting bread and sausages. Get a pair for all your cutting needs.

A Backcountry customer said
"Dandy knife Like another reviewer said, it doesn't open easily with one hand, but it will using one hand and say, pressing the bottom of the handle against some part of your anatomy or clothing. Anyways, I'm glad it doesn't open easily since I've had other one hander's that open by themselves while banging around on your gear loop (now that is dangeous) the spatha wont do this. Its not that sharp, but is sharp enough. Its tough, and fulfills its usage parameters."
A Backcountry customer said
" Not best suited for climbing The Petzl Spatha Knife (small) has a unique and handy concept with its carabiner hole and circular ridge that is used to open the knife. Despite Petzl's claims, I find the knife difficult and dangerous to open one handed, and it is even more difficult to try this with a carabiner in the hole. A neat knife, but there are better one-handed openers for climbing."
A Backcountry customer said
" not a one handed knife Knife is light hangs well on a biner, it's sharp (cuts through salami & cheese nicely) but it does not lock out and cannot be opened with one hand. Right out of the box and freshly oiled it was more than a struggle to "one hand" it and after a little trail dust forget it. Thanks for getting it to me so quickly though. You do a great job."
A Backcountry customer said
" Spatha This knife rocks man! It's got a hole in it for a biner to run through, making it easily accessible when you're on a wall, or hook it onto anything else you may need to. The blade comes super sharp (it even splits a hair.) Great tool to have in your first aid kit, or any kind of adventure backpack. I take it everytime I go hiking, fishing, and climbing. All around great investment! (Ya never know when you'll have to cut your arm off.)"
A Backcountry customer said
" nice little knife The spatha is an extremely light weight little knife (plastic handle weighs next to nothing). I find that it is perfect for situations were extra weight is undesirable, however it is not easy to get open, does not lock, and is by no means a one hander, also does not fit some brands of carabiner.
