What Model Is This?

I have had this knife for a very long time. It has no number on it. Is this a Bantam? Any help would be appreciated. It is 4 inches closed and 2 3/4 inch blade.

Looks like a Buck 281

rycen nailed it, a Buck model 281 NXT. One handed opening 2-3/4" liner lock blade in a thermoplastic frame with rubber overmold. New in 2000 and gone after 2006. Look for variations in Blue, Red, Gray, and Cobalt. Serrated and unserrated. The model 282 is the same knife in solid plastic without the rubber overmold. The Anvil symbol was the date code for 2002, Buck's 100th year.

I owned the red and blue version of this knife. I carried the blue one for about a year until my wife's Cocker spaniel got a hold of it and chewed the rubber off. Good economical knife at the time. Still have them put away some were around here.
