Ben Peterson (along with WE Knife Co.) designed the Banter to meet his exact specifications! This knife has a simple design, but that doesn’t mean it’s lacking the attention needed to make a good, solid knife. The black finished CPM-S35VN blade maximizes cutting performance, edge retention, toughness, and ease of maintenance and is easy to operate with one hand with smooth and precise action for fast and easy deployment. The micarta handle provides great grip and a sleek look that makes it a perfect EDC complete with a deep carry pocket clip. This model of the Banter features a black stonewashed blade and a Cuibourtia Wood handle.
