Is It Enough?
I have a large Swiss Army Knife that has about 11 functions but it is heavy. When I started planning for my thru-hike on the PCT I got sucked into the ounce counting vortex and ended up buying almost all new gear to get the lightest pack weight possible. Even a large Swiss Army Knife doesn't weight that much, but I decided to replace it with a smaller one. I looked everywhere for a basic knife with a blade, a sissors and a can opener, the 3 items I use most on my large knife. The Classic Swiss Army lacked the can opener, but was under an ounce and only $10 at Wal-Mart. I finally realized that if I was going to be going lightweight, I wouldn't be carrying any cans of food with me on the hike! I was very happy with it and never missed the can opener.
If you want to go as light as possible, it is perfect!
