About the original
The Quiet Carry Bandit is an ultracompact titanium keychain knife with a 1.2-inch AUS-8 stainless steel drop-point blade and grade-5 titanium handle scales, closing to roughly the footprint of a standard house key. A back-lock mechanism keeps the blade secured during cutting, and a keyring hole lets the knife ride on a key fob without additional hardware. Quiet Carry was founded in 2014 in Costa Mesa, California, with a focus on minimalist everyday-carry tools engineered for salt-water use. The FW17 Supreme version engraves the box logo on the titanium scale and retailed at $54 against the standard Bandit's $49.
