this is my daily carry Jan 02, 2007
By Magnus
I prefer larger folders and the BHW does not dissapoint. In fact, some co-workers tend to be a little put off by it when I pull it out of my pocket to open a box.
The knife arrived quite sharp, holds an edge, and takes an edge easily.
The weight of this knife is unreal for its size. It's a featherweight, but at the same time inspires confidence that it is well-constructed. Except for the pocket clip, which is about the only cheap-feeling part of the knife.
This knife opens quite easily with one hand.
I'd probably make this five stars if the blade were partially serrated.

 An unsuccessful attempt at a lightweight big blade. May 01, 2007
By Charlie_K
Though I didn't expect much it was still a disappointment to see a "Buck" blade of this quality. The handle of the knife is constructed entirely of a lightweight plastic, no metal liners or frame. Wonderful for stripping off a few ounces, but compromises the integrity of the entire knife.
It's most evident weakness is it's inability to handle any kind of lateral force on the blade. Just a small amount of pressure on either flat of the blade causes a noticeable and disconcerting flex in the knife.
As for the blade material, it's decent though relatively soft for "high carbon". The Bantam sharpens well enough, though doesn't stay shaving sharp for long. The blade is pretty thick, too thick to use for cleaning game or fish.
For the price it's an alright knife. The Large Bantam is definitely up to opening boxes and envelopes, but unable to perform at the tasks I typically carry a large knife for.

 Best everyday carry for the money Apr 16, 2010
By Goebbels Gerbils
I have the medium and large versions of this knife. The medium is perfect and is my preferred EDC. The large is good but somewhat stiffer to open and close. Get the medium and you will never know it is in your pocket. Also, both of these knives came razor sharp and have retained their edges well.
So close.... Jan 28, 2012

First off, let me just say, if you want a mid-size knife to carry in your pocket, this is the thing, the blade cuts well, so far it holds a great edge, and the lock is powerful and doesn't budge. There is also ZERO play in the blade. Now for the negatives, I'll start with the belt clip, it's just a little too low on the knife, so that when you sit down, the handle edge pushes into your stomach region quite uncomfortably, plus, the edge is chamfered and angled, so it pushes in even more. The other problem is with the handle, I really can't say it looks like it will last, the plastic just feels so cheap, and there is really no good metal support for it. If they had added some aluminum, some wood, anything, but they didn't. Apart from these two things, this is a great low-mid range knife, and an AMAZING starter if your just getting into them. For the price, you can't go wrong, plus it's made in the US, and there is a lifetime warranty, so when the handle does go, you'll be covered.
