Excalibur if you go to the folding model Summits you will never go back.. The Vipers are nice but too bulky when packing in.. The old Backpacker models were great but they quite making them for awhile. Then the new Switchblade models came out.... Worked with one several times now and they are everything the Vipers are plus pack great. I could never figure out why folks didn't choice the folding models over the standard Viper models?? The folding models are the bomb for sure.
