420HC with ropes

[ofirroze]

Can 420HC blade cut ropes quickly and easily?

I want to buy Leatherman Squirt ES4 with this blade for camping.

Thanks.

(Sorry for my English...)

Camping? No. Go full size, this is more for small everyday tasks.

Yeah definatly go full size for camping. Maybe a leatherman Blast so you can have a saw as well as the blade. But as far as the steel goes, I've not had a problem cutting anything with my wave. Ropes included.

I agree with the others that this tool would be too small. I understand the desire to travel light, but a tool that's too small to do the job is just useless weight anyway.

I have gone camping many times in the past with a Swiss Army Knife (SAK) as my only cutting tool. It cut rope just fine. The steel in an SAK is of a similar grade to the 420HC used in the Leatherman.


So my answer would be, "Yes, the blade on a Squirt will cut rope just fine."

And your English is excellent.
