I appreciate and like the Victorinox Bantam model. It contains everything most important: a blade and a bottle opener with a screwdriver function. If you don't need a corkscrew – like in the Waiter model (which is also great) – then it's worth choosing the Bantam, especially since it's one of the cheapest Victorinox models among the “non-miniature” ones.

Victorinox knives from the 84 mm series are, of course, shorter than those with a length of 91 mm, but because of this they easily fit into small pockets, a jacket, or an organizer. The Bantam offers everything most users need: a blade and a beverage opener, which can also serve as an emergency, tiny screwdriver. I definitely recommend it!

I value and like the Bantams from Victorinox. They contain the most important features, such as a blade and a bottle opener that can also be used as a screwdriver. If you don't need a corkscrew, which you can find in the Waiter model (also a great option), then there's no reason not to take advantage of the Bantam's main asset – the lowest price among full-size Victorinox models.
-
Among the medium-sized Victorinox models (84 mm), the Bantam is an interesting, though not very popular, pocket knife. It is also the cheapest, so if you don't use the corkscrew like in the Waiter model, it's worth considering this one. However, it should be noted that it is really small – this is both an advantage and a disadvantage, especially for people with larger hands, since it has only one layer of tools.
-
Great pocket knife, very light and compact, will fit anywhere. The blade is sharp right out of the box. High quality craftsmanship and a nice shine.
-
It has a limited number of tools, but it’s great for everyday carry. The small blade shouldn’t cause any concerns. Very sharp and lightweight, it weighs as much as a 5-zloty coin. Some might say 65 zloty is a lot, but it’s Swiss quality and a great choice for EDC — you can cut, open bottles, and take care of small tasks with it.
-
Excellent pocket knife — small, light, very stylish, and equipped only with practical tools. It doesn’t have unnecessary extras that would increase the weight or size. Owners of big multitools: how often do you really use anything other than the knife or opener during a trip to the plot, fishing, or mushroom picking?
-
A good pocket knife, which apart from the blade, has a bottle opener that also serves as a can opener (combo function). For many users, that’s completely sufficient. The only comment — a single-layer 84 mm pocket knife is quite small and may feel too tiny in larger hands. However, you won’t find a bigger Victorinox with such a minimalist set of tools.
-
This is one of the classic Victorinox models, in my opinion a bit underrated, as seen from the small number of reviews. If you don’t need a corkscrew, this model is more convenient and maybe more elegant than the Waiter.
-
The ideal basic Victorinox model. Perfect for everyday carry due to its small size and low weight. The price is very affordable, so losing it won’t be too painful.
