I have that knife!   Oooops..no I'm wrong.  I have the mini.

It's about the lightest thing going for a quality blade.
I carry it because I don't like gnawing on my cheese or balogna.  Plus
where I hike there is little to no traffic and a decent knife is one of the
essentials.  On the AT, during season, I think you could get along without
a knife if you wanted to but you'd still need tweezers for tick patrol and
maybe scissors for moleskin.  A toothpick comes in handy after balogney. <g>
The little swisses with all the above are pretty useful but most of the swisses
are overkill.
