Its lightweight design ensures it is a valuable addition to any outdoor equipment collection.

At the core of the Bantam BLW's functionality is its 79mm (3 1/8") drop-point blade, expertly crafted from Buck's renowned 420HC stainless steel. This premium steel, enhanced by Buck's advanced heat treatment process, provides an optimal balance of excellent corrosion resistance, superior edge retention, and straightforward re-sharpening for field use.

The handle, weighing just 68 grams, is constructed from injection-moulded, glass-reinforced nylon. This contoured handle features a textured surface, offering a secure, slip-free grip even in challenging conditions. An integrated, removable stainless steel clip provides a secure method for attaching the tool to equipment or a workbench, making the Buck 285 Bantam BLW a dependable choice for any outdoor enthusiast.

  • 420HC Stainless Steel: Provides outstanding corrosion resistance and edge retention, making it exceptionally easy to re-sharpen with a whetstone or field sharpener.

  • Featherweight Handle: The glass-reinforced nylon handle is incredibly tough yet keeps the overall weight down to just 68 grams, providing a comfortable grip for extended use.
  • Ambidextrous Opening: Dual thumb studs allow for quick and easy one-handed deployment for both left and right-handed users.
  • Secure Lockback: A traditional, highly reliable mid-lockback mechanism prevents accidental closure during various outdoor cutting tasks.
