4.0 out of 5 stars Rugged Buck for the price, September 6, 2008

I was taken back by the size of the Bantam, it is a little small, and it is made in China. But this knife shows no sign of inferior craftsmanship. It came to me razor sharp, and for the price this throw-away is a perfect everyday knife for rugged purposes. I took it out camping with me and carved shotgun slugs out of a tree, cooked and ate steaks with it (Not in that order, of course), I cut and honed branches, turned screws, have pounded it into stumps, and cut open innumerable packages with this and it is still razor sharp with absolutely no nicks. This is a testament to Buck, and whether it be foreign or domestically made, I'm reaching for a Buck, especially this little surprise.

This is without a doubt the best knife I have ever owned. It arrives sharp and it STAYS sharp. Do yourself a favor and buy this knife. With a lifetime warranty what is not to like. It's not to big and not to small. Perfect !

I wanted a knife to carry for those everyday little tasks that always seem to require a sharp edge. This knife was just what I was looking for.

It is a nice size, fits in your pocket without much trouble. It is very light, and seems reasonably well made. It was very sharp when it arrived, and I have been using it for a couple weeks with no sign of dulling yet.

I am not sure how well it would hold up to strenuous use (using it as a prybar), but for the price, who cares.

It passes my one major criterion for a pocket knife- I can open it (and close it) with one hand.

The knife has a nice action- it opens easily, snaps in to a locked position with a reassuring click. It is easy to close without having to put it into a position where you feel like your fingers are at risk.

I am not a real fan of its styling-but a pocket knife is not exactly a fashion accessory.
