Blade:Â A drop point 420HC steel blade is finished with a rugged, stonewashed finish that hides wear from use, a slicing hollow grind and top swedge tapering to a fine point. Its shape is very utilitarian for all-around use and comes quite sharp out of the box. Dual thumb studs are provided for opening but the blade can be easily opened with a simple pinch grip.
Handle:Â Glass-reinforced Nylon handles are strong, lightweight and great for all-weather environments. Dual thumb stud opening coupled with a reliable lock back mechanism make the Bantam fully ambidextrous. Each scale is textured and contoured with nice ergonomics for a comfortable grip. A generous oval hole is provided for lanyard attachment.
No clip.
