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! ## Features - High-Quality Sharp Blade: Our 3-1/8” 420HC drop point stainless steel blade is put through a rigorous heat treat process and quality performance test to ensure excellent utility knife strength, edge retention, and corrosion resistance - Elegant and Sleek Design: The slender and elegant pocket knife is made with thumb studs on both sides of the blade for easy one hand opening and a mid-lock back location for smooth closing - Multi-Use Everyday Carry Knife: Our pocket knife is the daily tool you need to get things done.

It came Razor sharp. I wanted something for an EDC to replace my smaller Old Timer knife that although easy to carry, it was just a little too small for some task. This one fits well in my pocket without any noticeable bulk. I almost went with the Mossy Oaks Orange figuring if I lost it, it would be easier to find, but am glad I went with the camo. It really is as sharp looking as it is sharp. ## Frequently Bought Together - Buck Knives 285 Bantam BLW Folding Knife with Removable Clip - Buck Knives 110 Folding Hunter LT Lightweight Folding Lockback Hunting Knife with Lanyard Hole & Heavy-Duty Polyester Sheath Included, Nylon Handle, 3-3/4" 420HC Blade, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/2591330-buck-knives-285-bantam-blw-folding-edc-knife-3-1](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/2591330-buck-knives-285-bantam-blw-folding-edc-knife-3-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
