The 420HC stainless steel drop-point blade is 3-5/8 inches long and locks open to 8-3/4 inches. Textured for a firm hold, the contoured handle also has finger grooves and grip ridges for extra safety. For a smaller knife Buck offers two others in the Bantam Series, with the same features and advantages. The medium-size Model 285BLW has a 3-1/8-inch blade that locks open to 7-1/2 inches and weighs just 2.4 ounces. The compact Model 284BBW has a 2-3/4-inchblade, locks open to 6-1/2 inches and weighs only 1.5 ounces.
