Nying Knife

The word stumpy doesn't have the best connotation, but you can re-frame your outlook on it with the Helle Nying Knife. It's stumpy, sure, but it's also sleek, sharp, and stylish. This short blade comes in handy for everything from cutting cord to dealing with food on your backpacking trip, and is small enough that there's no reason to leave it at home. Its leather sheath secures to the knife via a stud on the pommel, so you don't have to worry about it coming out on its own as you hike, and the classic look adds instant style to your kit, whether the knife is sheathed or out for use.
