Interesting thought...

Actually, we were discussing the feasibility of just such a package at OR this past week. There are some issues involved, but it is on the list of possibilities. We shall see, no promises.

Stumbled across this............

Or the knife from this set.

Regarding the Benchmite and other all metal knives I rather prefer handle not to be made of metal. Think about freezing temperatures in winter. When using tiny knife like this you usually take off your gloves. And even when using the knife with thin glove liners, unless the handle is textured the knife tends to slip in your hand. Doug´s new mini knife is a fixed blade so the handle can be wrapped with cord but you cannot do that with folding knife.
That´s why I also carry plastic signaling whistle and not a metal one.

I like a little locking buck knife, and a lighter, light and a few other items carried away for the main PSK

A good quality pen knife would be great IMHO.
They are hard to find.

Amyway, since most people I know carry a pocket knife if they carry any extra gear at all I think the best knife for a PSP is a good decent small pocket knife.
Not a combat, tactical or an assault something or other, just a small folder like your granpappy always had in his pocket to cut a string, whittle on a stick, or slice a chaw a' tabacca off the plug of tabacca he always had with him.
Something with stag or bone scales and well rounded nickel silver bolsters and good springy high carbon steel...

Think about what the people carried before and why. There was a reason a pen knife was called a pen knife and why small folders were often known as stockmen's knives.

In your grandparent's time people people carried small knives like that because they used them constantly, for everything from castrating steers and cutting binder twine off haybales to sharpening pencils.

It might be a good time to look back at the older designs that were dictated by the needs of people who actually used them a lot.

You beat me to it!

The same reason why I haven't bought a Benchmite yet though I've come very close to ordering one already. An all-metal grip is just as bad in a hot climate if you leave it in the sun BTW. I actually burned my palm that way in the Sahara once, you'd need to see it to believe it... lol

I have a Alox Lumberjack SAK in my PSP


Two Alox Lumberjacks and a red Alox Farmer
I like the small saw and the combo tool. I find the saw handy for building shelters, tools and traps. I prefer the Farmer model more as a knife, but the smaller Lunberjack fits in the PSP pouch better.

Gerber's STL 2.0 makes a decent size backup to the SAK/SwissTool and CRKT M16 EDC.
