Bantam and Waiter are great, classic, simple knives. They have everything that matters and are light and small. And if you don't need a corkscrew - then "why overpay" and Bantam is the answer. The cheapest of the real Officier Swiss knives (84 mm version). Awesome!

I like and value Victorinox Bantams. They have more or less the most important things, that is, a blade and a bottle opener (of course, with the 'screwdriver' option). Assuming you don't need a corkscrew, like on the Waiter model (also a great model) – why give up Bantam's cool advantage, which is probably the lowest price among the non-miniature Victorinoxes:)

The 84 mm Victorinox series are a bit shorter, obviously, than the 91 mm, but they have the advantage of fitting in small pockets, a jacket or an organizer. The Bantam has everything that many people need, which is a blade and a bottle opener :) let's say it also serves as an emergency, optional mini screwdriver. I recommend it.

I like and appreciate Victorinox Bantams. They have roughly what’s most important: a blade and a bottle opener (of course, with the screwdriver 'option'). Assuming you don’t need a corkscrew, like in the Waiter (also a great model), why give up Bantam’s cool advantage, which is probably the lowest price among the non-miniature Victorinoxes? :)

In the category of "medium-small Victorinox" (84 mm), this is one of the cool yet rather little-known models. And actually the cheapest – so if you don't plan on using the corkscrew (Waiter model), why not go for the Bantam? One note – both positive and negative :) – it's really small, especially in a bigger hand, since it's 84 mm with just one layer of tools.

Very nice pocketknife, lightweight, small, fits everywhere. The blade is sharp right out of the box. The quality is very good, everything shines nicely.

It may not have many tools, but it’s great to carry wherever you go. The blade is quite small, so nobody should complain. This very sharp little thing weighs about as much as a 5zł coin. Some may say, “65zł for something like this???” But the quality, just as you’d expect from something Swiss made, is excellent—a great EDC knife. You can cut, trim, slice, and open a drink with it.

Fantastic pocketknife. Small, light, and beautiful. And it has all the necessary tools and none of the unnecessary ones you’ll never use, which would only add weight and size. Because, dear owners of large and heavy multitools and multi-tool knives—I include myself in this group—how many times in the field (at the allotment, camping, bonfires, fishing, mushroom picking, etc.) have you really needed more than a knife and a bottle/can opener?
-
Nice pocketknife with not only a blade but also a bottle opener (actually it's a combo tool that also opens cans). For many people, that's completely sufficient. One note—a single-layer 84 mm pocketknife is really small and can get lost in a big hand—but you also won’t find a larger Victorinox fitted only with the most necessary tools.
-
One of the Victorinox classics—I think it's an underrated model, which is evident from the lack of reviews. Meanwhile, if you don't need a corkscrew, it's more convenient (more ergonomic) than the similar Waiter, and perhaps more elegant as well.

Great basic Vic. Perfect for everyday carry due to its small size and featherweight. The price is very good, so it won't be a tragedy if you lose it.
