I think he already has that, the green one, right? :D Regretfully the DK black and green + the standard silver are all there is. Well there's the old ALOX Waiter (bottle opener instead of combo) too but that's a bit more pricey if you can find one. ;)

I was thinking of collecting Bantams next to Cadets too but I'm glad you told me there's not so many of them now :D

Yeah, I did get one of those Green Danish bantams.

All in all I think I prefer them to Cadets. Maybe it's a good thing there aren't so many colours to chose from. I hear people can get addicted to these things.  :whistle:

Ended up picking up one of those Bantams along with a Pruner. Those were some of the models I was going to order from Amazon.Dr so I'm glad all those listings popped up. Harvesters seem to be gone, but I actually did get two of those from Germany last year.

A single layer 84mm sounds so small. I wonder how it'll feel.

Sure would love a Danish Black.  I had one arrive in country only to have is shipped to wrong address and turned back around to denmark.  very frustrating month long ordeal.

Mine arrived without a problem. Granted, I am several thousand miles closer but still... I found them to be a good seller, I know tons of people who got their stuff quickly. I'm willing to bet USPS screwed something up again  :pok:

They are a great seller.  Just dont want to repeat the month wait.  I am sure it was a stored address from my last purchase that was stored and no longer valid.

I was amazed, but then I've never seen a Cadet either.  It is almost two dimensional.  Of course it is only one layer, and that layer is slightly thinner than the standard 93mm knife layer anyway, but the big difference is the thinner scales.  In this picture it is next to my faithful EDC Soldier, which I had always thought was a very compact knife itself.  The Bantam makes it look like a giant!

Also, the results of the weigh-in:
Soldier = 70g = 2.47oz
Bantam = 29g = 1.02oz
