Buck 284 Bantam BBW Knife

Looking for a durable and stylish pocket knife? The Bantam BBW® has a mid lockback design and ridges at the top for added grip. These sleek, lightweight knives feature thumb studs on both sides of the blade for easy one hand opening and a mid-lock back location for smooth closing. The textured handle offers a firm and well-balanced grip. Bantams are available in a variety of handle patterns! Closed length: 3 3/4". Made in the USA with Imported Parts. ONE HANDED OPENING: Has a thumb stud, blade hole or other feature to facilitate one-hand use 420HC STEEL: This is Buck's standard blade material because it 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. For best performance we harden to a Rockwell hardness of Rc 58. DROP POINT: This blade is full bellied with a strong, thick point for heavier tasks. It can also be used as a general work knife. The top of the blade drops down toward the tip, which minimizes accidental puncturing while skinning. The drop point blade is strong and very versatile.
