WE Banter - Green Micarta Handle - Model 2004J
Designed by Ben Petersen, a prominent figure in knife design, the WE Banter is a compact and functional everyday carry (EDC) knife that encapsulates practicality and usability. Named after the video series that Ben helped pioneer, this knife reflects the quality and attention to detail he is known for. The Banter is a collaboration between Ben and We Knives, aimed at creating the perfect EDC piece, and it truly delivers.
Ideal Size for Everyday Carry
The Banter is designed with an ideal size for everyday carry, featuring a blade length of 2.90 inches (73.7 mm) and an overall length of just 6.52 inches (165.6 mm). This compact design makes it easy to carry while providing enough blade length for various cutting tasks. The wide base of the blade ensures ample grip space, placing the cutting surface right next to your fingers for added leverage and control.
Ergonomic and Durable Design
Constructed from green Micarta, the handle offers a comfortable and secure grip. This material is not only durable but also provides a classic aesthetic that knife enthusiasts appreciate. The simple yet effective construction features stainless steel liners, ensuring strength and stability. While the design may be straightforward, it excels in ergonomics, making the Banter a reliable tool that feels solid in hand.
Blade Quality and Functionality
The Banter is equipped with a CPM-S35VN stainless steel blade, known for its exceptional edge retention and corrosion resistance. With a hardness rating of 58-60HRC, the blade offers outstanding performance for everyday tasks. The spear point style combined with a flat grind and a black stonewash finish adds both functionality and a rugged look to the knife.
Smooth Operation and Secure Locking
Featuring a liner lock mechanism, the Banter ensures reliable blade security during use. The caged ceramic bearings allow for smooth and effortless deployment of the blade via dual thumb studs, providing multiple opening methods for convenience. The jimping on the thumb ramp enhances grip and control, making it easier to use in demanding situations.
Additional Features
The Banter includes a deep-carry pocket clip that is set up for tip-up, right-hand carry, allowing for discreet and comfortable transport. Additionally, the lanyard hole is large enough to accommodate 550-paracord, adding to its versatility for outdoor use.
