If the totally true to life climbing expose Vertical Limit taught me anything, it is that if anything goes wrong, I should cut the rope. The Spatha makes cutting ropes-or high altitude cheese-easy with its carabiner-able design. Choose the orange handle for a serrated edge.

Petzl Spatha Knife Reviews:
Positive Reviews:
I've read a lot of reviews complaining about how the Spatha can't be opened with one hand. I almost didn't buy it because of these reviews. But, I found a good deal and bought it anyway. Happily I discovered that you can, in fact, open it with one hand quite easily. You hold the center ring, where the carabiner fits, and catch the bottom against anything, your thigh for example, and it opens right up. You can't grip the blade with your fingers and wrench it open, as you might with other knives. But once you figure out how it is supposed to be opened, things make a lot more sense. All in all its a great little knife and I'm glad I bought it.
I have the small version and it lives on my harness. It's great for cutting out and replacing manky tat as well as cutting up salami. I have had no issues with the blade opening up when I didn't want it to (I have had this issue with different models of knives). The opening action is still stiff after 4 years of use. I view that aspect of the knife as a positive because I don't want it opening up and exposing an edge to things that are not supposed to be cut. If you are looking for a locking blade look somewhere else. It is a solid light weight performer.
I use this knife for backpacking and i bought the large cause i hate sharpening serrated blades. without the carabiner in the middle of it the knife and as long as its clean it's really simple to open with one hand if you have strong fingers and the knife doesn't lock in the open position so its even easier to close. if you tie a piece or cord through it instead of using a carbiner you can secure it to yourself and still open and use it easily. great multi-use knife i would recommended adding it to you gear collection.
The Petzl Spatha Knife is a good climbing knife. It fits easily on a binner so you can keep it on your harness for quick access. I highly recommend to purchase serrated blade because itÂ’s easier to use to cut webbing, cord, rope, etc.
This is a handy knife to have hanging off of your harness on a carabiner and is super sharp! My only complaint is that it doesn't have a locking blade, but that is just my personal preference. Great climbing knife non the less!
I've found this knife to come in handy quite a few times. It's super light weight makes it easy to carry and doesn't weigh you down. It is also easy to open one handed which is a plus. Great bang for your buck.
Sharp and light, makes a good camping knife. Also it as stated in other reviews it can be opened with one hand.
These knife is very nice, its light and can be clipped on almost any carabiner.
Negative Reviews:
This is a decent knife but not for what it's designed for. It's sharp, light, and seems strong. However it doesn't lock, hard to open (with one hand), and the loop is very limited to biner size. Personally I want a knife that will fit most biners on my harness and will open with one hand. Check out the link below to a great climbing knife that I personally use. It's lighter, locks, serrated, indestructible, fit's most biners, and is great for absolutely anything!
It is lightweight, and it is sharp. However, a knife without a lock has no place. It's too easy to have that blade fold back on you.
I think it's BS that Petzl even puts one out like this.
Generally, I like petzl stuff, but i thought this knife was straight up awful. The 1 star saying straight up sucks basically sums it up. may other better choices.
It's a good sharp knife, but any real climbing knife should have a locking blade and SERRATION. The wavy blade on the larger model just doesn't ....cut it.
Neutral Reviews:
This is a good option if you're trying to keep your rack light. It's somewhat difficult to open one handed, though it can be done. I find it tends to get caught on your opening surface (i.e. your leg) if you don't properly catch just the tip when opening.
This knife is alright, couple problems I have with it is that it does not lock. On the plus size it is pretty hard to open so I don't think it would open on you by accident. Another problem is it doesn't fit nicely on all carabiners.
