The TOPS Pasayten Lite Traveler is a rugged yet refined fixed blade built for serious backcountry adventurers and everyday outdoorsmen alike. Designed to handle a wide range of cutting tasks without weighing you down, this knife brings together premium materials and practical features in a no-nonsense profile that performs far beyond its size.
At the core of the Pasayten Lite Traveler is a 5.25-inch clip point blade crafted from 154CM stainless steel—an American-made steel known for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. It’s a high-performance steel that’s equally suited for processing game, prepping campfire meals, or tackling woodcraft chores. The tumbled finish on the blade gives it a muted, no-glare surface that not only enhances its durability but also adds a subtle, hardworking character.
This knife is built full tang, meaning the steel extends throughout the entire length of the handle for superior strength and balance. You can feel the confidence in every cut—whether you're carving, batoning, or simply making feather sticks. The 0.13-inch blade thickness strikes a perfect balance between slicing ability and robust durability, giving you a tool that’s versatile without being overbuilt.
Grip and control are essential for any field knife, and the Pasayten Lite Traveler delivers with a black linen Micarta handle. It’s shaped for comfort and security in hand, even when wet or dirty. Micarta’s natural texture gives it excellent traction, and it only gets better with use. The ergonomic profile allows for a variety of hand positions, making this knife ideal for extended use without fatigue.
The included black Kydex sheath offers a secure and low-profile way to carry your knife wherever the trail takes you. With a rotating clip for multiple carry angles—whether on your belt, pack, or tactical vest—you’ll have easy access when you need it most. The whole setup weighs just 10 ounces, giving you a lightweight yet capable blade that’s easy to carry all day without dragging you down.
Measuring 10 inches overall, the Pasayten Lite Traveler offers a generous cutting edge while maintaining a manageable footprint for hiking, camping, or survival situations. It’s the kind of blade you can rely on when you’re miles from the nearest road—and it’s equally at home in a gear bag or mounted on your overlanding rig.
Handcrafted in the USA, the Pasayten Lite Traveler reflects the TOPS Knives commitment to quality, durability, and functional design. It’s built to thrive in the toughest environments and back it up with years of dependable service.
