## Description

desertcart.com: Buck Knives 0284BKS-B 0284BKS Bantam Folding Pocket Knife : Everything Else

Review: Very good EDC - 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!
Review: Awesome Knife that Feels Substanial - 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!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I love the quality and the price of a buck knife
*by A***R on September 26, 2025*

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.
