I purchased this knife because I own a Swiss spartan and find I don’t use half the tools and it’s an unnecessary bulk. This knife has what are for me the two most important bits on a standard Swiss Army knife. The main blade and the bottle opener, which in this case also serves as a tin opener and a wire stripper as well as a flathead screwdriver! I’ve put this knife through it’s paces and I bought it to use in retail work where I regularly cut boxes and things like zip ties, but I needed something stronger than a Stanley blade. It has been fantastic since day 1 and is so thin and light that you forget it is in your pocket. It’s a slipjoint knife which is stiff at first to open and close but you quickly get used to it. I’ve used this knife for everything, even things it’s not “meant” for. Like I used the bottle opener as a pry bar when trying to lift something I couldn’t with my nails. This knife is 10/10 and I recommend it to everyone looking for something slim and light that has the amazing quality of Victorinox. My one “critique” if you can even call it that is that it sometimes falls out of my pockets unbeknownst to me because it is SO thin meaning it can easily fall down the side of sofas. But I bought it looking for a thin knife so it is perfect. 10/10. I love this knife.

A very thin knife, which means a comfortable all day carry, plus a realistic sized main blade to take care of most tasks that come my way in the course of the day. There are more useful knives on the market granted, but they are simply too bulky to carry in a suit / trouser pocket. Not the case with the Bantam! Very happy with this knife.

Great knife, super slim for any pocket. Delivery no issue. Overall I can highly recommend.

Light weight, good looking and I beleive legal to carry in the UK. The blade is large enough to be useful.

This is an excellent pocket knife, and just what I was looking for. Small and light so that it doesn't bulge in your pocket, but with all the necessary blades. Well worth the money.

The perfect little knife, I needed something robust but lightweight for daily use around the farm. Fed up with lumpy, bulky knives filling my pockets I finally found this. Most small pocket knives are pretty flimsy but not this one. The quality is excellent, well made and light but able to withstand the abuse that such a tool inevitably receives. If this is the type of knife you are looking for I would say that you could not get better.
