The Bantam Series is lightweight and stylish, it is a modern take on the classic lock back design. The ridged handle provides easy handling and the lanyard hole provides easy attachment. The thumb stud on the blade allows for quick one hand deployment. Our 420HC steel blade material approaches the wear resistance of high carbon alloys while delivering the corrosion resistance of chromium stainless steels. Add our exclusive heat-treat process and you have a very user-friendly combination of superior corrosion resistance with excellent strength for wear resistance and durability. You also have a blade that is easy to resharpen. The Bantam family of knives are available in a variety of sizes and handle patterns

Great blade comes super sharp Great blade comes super sharp, and holds an edge. This little knife is very comfortable.I had a 286 (a bit larger) which I loved and was much more sturdy. The locking mechanism on the 284 is poor. I can feel the blade moving when I carve, and when I have really pushed the knife to the limit (batoning small pieces of wood), the blade becomes unlocked. Also, the thumb stud wiggles and rattles.
Smaller folding knife, very good quality for everyday use Another gift given, and my husband loved it. He wanted a basic knife to carry around for times when one needs a sharp edge, I found this on a deal and thought it might do. Almost six months later and I’ve seen him using it repeatedly on different things without any trouble at all. He recommends this knife to anyone wanting a smaller folding knife. Quality is sturdy but not heavy, feels in your hand like it will last a while.
I like it! I am very pleased. The knife is lightweight but appears to be plenty strong for reasonable use. Opening is easy, despite the small size. The lock is positive, and gives a reassuring click when engaged. Although safety keeps me from trying too hard without a more elaborate setup, I have not been able to overpower the lock and force the blade to fold up without releasing it first. Having had a couple of lock-backs that were a lot less reliable, this is a very big deal to me, as I am fond of…
