Small update

WE Knife’s Banter has quickly established itself as one of the best EDC pocket knives around. No wonder: this Ben Peterson design (Knafs, ex-Blade HQ) is so handy and functional that it simply works well in everyday life.

Now Ben has gone one better and brought out an even more compact version of the knife in collaboration with Civivi. The Baby Banter is not only a little smaller, but also uses a different steel. But first things first: there is the slightly modified handle, which offers enough space for all 4 fingers thanks to a small finger recess at the base of the blade. Thanks to the universal shape, the Baby Banter is perfectly suitable for small to medium-sized hands. Only with very large hands, you might better reach for the WE Knife Banter. Thanks to the finger choil, you can reach very close to the cutting edge and thus put a lot of force into the cutting movement (for example, when carving). Like its big brother, the Banter is equipped with handle scales made of robust G10.

The blade steel used here is stainless Nitro-V steel, which has been given a blackwash finish. This nitrogen-alloyed steel is very resistant and offers versatile possibilities in use. Should the cutting edge ever become blunt, it can be quickly resharpened. A smooth blade action is provided by the built-in ball bearings, so that even the Baby Banter can have some fun. The whole thing is rounded off by a convertible deep-carry pocket clip, which makes your Baby Banter discreetly disappear in your pocket.
