WE Banter 2, Crossbar Lock, Green Micarta, CPM S35VN Steel

The WE Knife Co. Banter 2 is a compact Ben Petersen design built around a 2.87" drop-point blade of CPM S35VN, flat ground and finished in gray stonewash. Titanium thumb studs open it, a caged ceramic ball-bearing pivot keeps it smooth, and a crossbar lock holds it open.

The handle is green canvas Micarta, with a matching Micarta back spacer, over gray stainless steel liners. The stainless clip carries tip-up on either side. At 2.57 oz and 3.79" closed, it slips easily into a pocket.
