We Knife Banter Wharncliffe – Purple Canvas Micarta

The Banter is Ben Peterson's collaboration with We Knives drawing inspiration from other folding knives with the sole aim of being the perfect EDC piece. First and foremost, the Banter is an ideal size for everyday carry. The nearly three-inch Wharncliffe blade is housed in a compact handle so the overall length is just under six-and-a-half inches. The wide base gives you ample room to grip and places the cutting surface right next to the fingers for more leverage. It's a simple shape with simple carbon fiber and stainless steel liner construction but what it lacks in design aesthetics it more than makes up in terms of ergonomics and strength. Dual thumb studs allow multiple opening methods and the deep-carry pocket clip is set up for tip-up, right or left-hand carry. The jimping on the thumb ramp is ultra-functional and the lanyard hole is large enough for 550-paracord.
