Buck Knives 0284BKS-B 0284BKS Bantam Folding Pocket Knife

Well built, durable and sharp. Well worth the money. Thumb stud is nice but the knife is too tight to ever be a speed flipper. But realistically, how often would I ever need to draw and speed flip. I easily removed the pocket clip because I like to pocket carry. The knife is light but of great material, and attractive! Not a wimpy knife! I have more expensive knives, but this is my EDC. Highly recommend!

I got the Mossy Oak Camo version and must say it is a cool little knife. It came Razor sharp. I wanted something for an EDC to replace my smaller Old Timer knife that although easy to carry, it was just a little too small for some task. This one fits well in my pocket without any noticeable bulk. I almost went with the Mossy Oaks Orange figuring if I lost it, it would be easier to find, but am glad I went with the camo. It really is as sharp looking as it is sharp.

As someone that uses a knife frequently throughout the day while working construction, I must say that this knife is one of my favorites! It’s a Buck, which means it’s made in the USA. Typically, you’d find yourself paying 2-3x the cost of this knife for one of comparable quality. The blade is shaving sharp right out of the box. There are some knife users that might argue that the blade is made out of low grade 420 stainless steel. However, that isn’t really a bad thing at this price point because this is a really affordable knife that you can be comfortable with abusing and still being able to put a razor sharp edge back on with little effort. The other thing that I like about the knife is the large pocket clip that keeps my knife in place no matter what position I’m in. The only thing that I’ve had a problem with is the thumb stud on the blade which seems to be a bit loose, I’m not sure if the stud is held together by friction or if it screws into itself, but I will figure that out and update my review if I’m able to tighten it. Finally, as you can see in the photos, this knife is quite a substantial size. I really like that this thing has some meat on its bones without weighing a ton, unlike the classic Buck 110. Overall, but this knife if you need a knife you can abuse and still depend on day in and day out, you will not regret it!

THIS IS NOT AN ASSIST OPEN. I bought it on Prime day thinking I could use a small assist open at work (in WA state I am allowed to carry an assist open knife while on duty.) it is not. So I'm rather annoyed at that, I'm left with a fairly cheap knife that doesn't do anything my opinel number 8 can't do. It's a squeeze release which I do not love, the size is just a hair too small in the grip to be comfortable (it really is a knife for someone with smaller hands, though even a small knife can be comfortable if more thought is given to ergos) The thumb catch really doesn't operate smoothly like a benchmade. The handle feels sketchy. the molding and fit is tight, but the material feels like unreinforced ABS, which may crack. So no heavy duty work. The things I like? Honestly quite a lot, and that pushes it from two stars into four. Well, the fit and finish apart from the actual material of the handle is pretty great. nothing is loose, gritty, or scuffed/scratched, so some care was taken to make sure assembly was done right. The actual finish and color of the handles is good too (I bought orange for EMS) I like the shape of the blade, it'll do a stellar job of small tasks like opening boxes or cutting a piece of fruit. It's actually balanced perfectly at the finger chorl. And the blade is pretty exceptional. The steel of the blade is stone washed, so the finish is lovely and durable (stonewashing really hides abuse well since it's already scratched!) and it was pretty exceptionally sharp out of the box. Not as razor sharp as I will make it, but as a sharpening snob, it absolutely will do a great job right as it comes from the factory. the bevels are near-spot on, I'd wager about a 40 degree inclusive edge, and it will pop quite a few hairs on your arm (though not quite shaving sharp) I went at some cardboard boxes for a while with it, just hacking them to bits, and was pleasantly surprised. This is a decent steel. Overall, if I can get past the fact that it's not an actual assist opener, it's a good glovebox or small utility knife. The only thing that lets it down is that the handle really needs to be more heavily fiberglass reinforced (if it's reinforced at all) because any heavy use will likely snap it. Would I recommend it as an everyday pocket knife to someone? no. For less money, you can have either a stainless or carbon steel opinel number 8, a ridiculously high quality blade with a dead reliable collar lock and a great solid chunk of wood for a handle. If you want something closer in size to the buck, go for a number 6 or 7, but the number 8 is great for all hand sizes. This knife is fine for light duty, but I can baton with an opinel, and they've been making that knife for nearly 150 years, not to mention it gets comments every time you use it (much more gentlemanly than some camo colored folder)

I love buck knives. They will take a very sharp edge that will last for an acceptable amount of time. They are not difficult to sharpen. And they are at price point that you can actually use them as a tool and not have to worry if the project has the potential of doing minor damage. I use them all the time...and carry either this size or one a little larger...and sometimes it is the only tool available to do a job out when I am on the property. Good example...I was cutting one of my fields, and a bunch of baling twine from adjacent property blew into my grass unnoticed. It completely wrapped around the blades of my brush hog. I was able to cut all the twine off in the field, without having to bring it back to the shop. Knicked the blade a few places wedging it into the twine...but it cleaned up just fine.

Well made, sturdy and comes with a sharp edge.

Great knife for my grandson's birthday. Blade is sharp, action is perfect and it looks to be of great quality. USA!

I bought this knife this past summer. It is an attractive looking knife and I like that it it is made in the US which generally means better quality. The metal of the blade seems of fair quality and it came sharp. My complaint is that it is difficult to open. With extra effort I can get it open with one hand. It is much easier to use both hands. Had I known it was not as good for opening one-handed I probably would have ordered a different model.

Beklenenin aksine biraz küçük . Malzeme kaliteli. İyi bıçak,keskin, kaliteli.

Una navaja sencilla y bien construida. Viene bastante afilada y es cómoda en la mano. También es lo suficientemente ligera como para llevarla día a día, el clip ayuda a su portabilidad. En general, es una muy buena navaja para quien quiera una para llevar al día a día sin hacer un trabajo extremadamente pesado.

leggero,affilato, made in usa

Me encanta el tipo de seguro que buck maneja, está es una navaja exactamente de bolsillo (pequeña) pero bastante resistente, buen filo de fabrica y fácil de afilar.

Très bon couteau,léger peut encombrant et de très bonne qualité !
