Buck Bantam BHW: Field Utility Favorite

The light weight Buck Bantam BHW folding knife is excellent in role. The question is, what is the role of this somewhat large, non spring assisted blade? With a 3 5/8" 420 HC stainless steel blade, thermoplastic handle, mid-lockback, a nice lanyard hole, and some fair jimping on top and bottom, this knife has it's limits, but also plenty of strengths. After a period of every day carry, I chose to place this knife into a "field utility" role. I now use it for hiking, camping, shooting excursions, and other outdoor activities where a pricier EDC blade might be in jeopardy of getting lost or damaged. I highly recommend the Buck Bantam BHW for use in this role, and I'm certain that if you put it in the same role it will serve you well. I forgot to mention that it also makes a great ice breaker when closed, and I don't mean a conversation piece. Wrap your thumb over the top and you can quickly smash up a bag of ice with the base of the handle; the other party goers will thank you for your foresight! With such a low price, and so many uses, why not pick one up?
