SOL Core Lite Survival Knife

  • The SOL Core Lite survival knife weighs in at a scant 1.4 oz.
  • AUS-8 steel blade holds an edge and sharpens more easily than common steel blades; blade is engineered to excel at survival tasks such as whittling and slicing
  • Blade locks open for secure use; long handle and short blade keeps the knife from getting unwieldy when you’re doing tasks that require good control
  • Alert rescuers with the 100-decibel, pea-less whistle that is integrated into the knife handle
  • Bright LED light located next to the blade lets you continue working when the sun goes down; LED operates on 2 CR1220 batteries (included)

Card & Razor = CARZOR

It is a card, a mirror, a razor, it’s somehow all at the same time. The blades are stored safely behind the mirror while it’s in your pocket, and it’s just totally easy to use.

*also serves as emergency signaling mirror? hmmm, interesting.

A raised waterproof tub floor allows cutouts in the fly to save significant weight while improving ventilation. Separate vestibules and entrances on Obi™ 2P eliminate jostling for position and gear storage with vestibules perfectly sized for tucking in your pack and shoes at night.
