My literal prompts were “Make him more EDC“! Somehow I'm not surprised and speechless at the same time. Also, thank you for including me in your video! Miss you guys!
Awesome stuff guys 💪💪💪🤘 it was a pleasure meeting you and your wife. I hope you had a great time in the Netherlands and Europe. And you're always welcome for a coffee and stroopwafels if you're in the neighborhood again 😁
The edc community lost the plot years ago when we got into frivolous materials(looking at you ultem) you aren't the only one who thinks that price is steep and if im brutally honest overpriced and once again proving big idea designs is just taking their customers for a ride and really only there for the people who want glorified pocket jewelry. Imo theres something wrong with charging 110$ for a made in china pen....
Ben cracking his head open at Big Idea and then producing the Sancho definitely brings to mind Doc Brown splitting his wig on a toilet then dreaming up the Flux Capacitor. The Sancho is a totally fitting name buuuut man the KNAFS Flux would have been rad!
Appreciate you responding to my comment on the show! Always love hearing Ben's insight into his designs and decisions in his products! Really interesting to learn that the original design for the Banter actually included a crossbar lock! Really excited to see the release of the Banter 2!
I know you are busy people and all, but...... I would love it if you could do a video about budget 3d printers that are simple to use for us old people. I am loving the new knives that are coming. Also, please ask the person who made the washers that replace the bearings to market them.
The last thing I was expecting to see at 2am was my name pop up on the TV, you bet I woke my deep sleeping wife up to watch lol! Thanks for the kind words and including it in Knafs @ Nite! (Washer guy) Jimping... I've got the tools to do it! I've also sat here pondering the idea as I too have a soft spot for jimping. Drawback - I don't have a second Lander in case things go south (always that chance with machining). I love mine too much to risk it not being in the pocket. Maybe I'll experiment on some older less cared about blades first... Also, WICKED pen, Ben! 🙌
I had asked about jimping/gimping for the lander 3 during the Kickstarter campaign but the answer wasnt as detailed. Too thin by the thumb stud is explanation enough for me. Thanks.
Baby banter fixed blade??? Yes please! Ben you are one of my favorite designers and I am stoked for my lander 4 to come in but you are killing me! Now I have to explain to my wife why I want to spend $100 dollars on a pen!
Just got my Lander 3 all blacked out.... I love this knife. It is replacing my Benchmade Bugout mini and I am super happy about it! Next on my list is the Lander 4 when it drops in January ( I missed the Kickstarter). I will for sure be exploring options to pocket carry the Lander 4, but very excited for that one! Just wanna say it, where is the reverse tanto love, or even the regular tanto love these days?
I believe I’m in paralysis by analysis with all these options Banter, Baby, Big, 2. Then there is Lander, 2, 3, 4… and all with multiple options in scales, do I buy or print my own, not to mention the blade/finish options. THE CHOICES!!!
Don't own the banter yet, but love my big banter and baby banter both in green micarta. Had to pre-order the blue aluminum banter because it spoke to me.( when I typed in the word green the spell check automatically pulled up the word micarta, that's how you know your a knife guy).😅
I wish your new edc pen was about half the size. Would be even better if it took the fisher pressurized cartridge. I much rather it have a small glass breaker than a toothpick. Tweezers, I can see being handy.
When will yall have more baby banter fixed blades? I went to buy one with the link in the description but they said sold out. All I carry now is the small fixes and really want one
Now I am tempted to order a new knife AND a new pen! That way I can have the tweezers and the toothpick even when I can't carry a SAK on my keychain. Now about those scissors.....
Big idea design pens are so awesome. I love mine. I was a refill buying fool after getting mine. You should making a folding lander 2 with a sheep foot blade!
My favorite late knife show by far. 🎉🎉🎉 it was good to see you again on The Netherlands. Let me know when I can post the interview in my channel. Lot of stuff going on in knafs at this moment. 😜👍
Thank you guys so much for this video :) I was highly entertained while cleaning knives 😂. Can't wait for the next Field Trips from Denmark and Germany. It was a blast meeting you Ben! Best wishes Phil
The only Banter I haven’t owned is the Big version…which is odd because I’m a fairly large man at 6’7” 280lbs. I’m ttuly hoping for a “Goldilocks Banter”…. The just right edc size of 7.25 OAL, linerlock without a finger choil. I always keep my fingers crossed! Anyways, keep up the great work!!
I like your designs, but for the forward choil. I have big hands/fat fingers. The forward choils on Spyderco knives work for me because they have a nubbin of separation separating your finger from the edge of the blade. Any blade without that is of issue for me. Is that nubbin of separation something that cannot be duplicated for legal reasons, or is it just a design not thought about?
I was one of many who backed your ruler and I had you sign your name on it. I know it was hard signing titanium, but just know it is used and it is extra special for me. Thanks again, fellas. Tell Jamie to say hi on camera and to update his IG w more photos!
I already have 3 Tactile Turn pens and 1 We Knife pen, so I have no need for another EDC pen but I ordered 2 Sancho pens because they just look so awesome ! And I cannot order the Banter 2 yet but ohhhhhh it looks so great !!
Thanks for the support! And someday when all my hair falls out (probably sooner than later), I’m excited to have you back on board. As an interesting side note: I spent 35 years of my life never knowing I had naturally curly hair. I had always kept my hair military short. Anyway, I’ve been starting to bald around the edges, and i realized long hair was a limited time option. So I grew it out. Surprise! It’s curly! It’s been a really fun adventure.
My literal prompts were “Make him more EDC“! Somehow I'm not surprised and speechless at the same time. Also, thank you for including me in your video!
Miss you guys!
AI definitely understood the assignment.
I was sold the minute you said the Micarta Banter 2 had milling.
It's good too.
I can’t wait to see the review!
Awesome stuff guys 💪💪💪🤘 it was a pleasure meeting you and your wife. I hope you had a great time in the Netherlands and Europe. And you're always welcome for a coffee and stroopwafels if you're in the neighborhood again 😁
I grew up watching you guys on knife banter blade hq. Thank you for all the amazing memories!
can't afford THAT PEN...
or anything else right now
taking a break from stuff...
And there is nothing wrong with that. 💪
The edc community lost the plot years ago when we got into frivolous materials(looking at you ultem) you aren't the only one who thinks that price is steep and if im brutally honest overpriced and once again proving big idea designs is just taking their customers for a ride and really only there for the people who want glorified pocket jewelry.

I’m currently carrying my green micarta baby banter. I’m gonna need that fixed blade when it comes out.
Earthworm Jim on Sega was my JAM!
That game was legendary hahaha! I played it just because of the name. I was too young to understand the rest 😂
@DutchBushcraftKnives the weapons were amazing! We also played a ton of gunstar heros

SEGA GENESIS POSSE SOUND OFF!!!
The upcoming Banter 2 with aluminum scales looks great!
If I wasn't old, over the hill and living on a different continent I'd apply for a job at Knafs😎
Enjoy the hair while you have it. You’ll miss it when it’s gone. Trust me.
Ben you need an organizer or pouch.
Interesting.... Stay tuned.
Hey Ben! Make a Knafs multi tool 🤔👍
Wait, you guys are back together 🥹
Love the Baby Banter fixed blade.
I know you are busy people and all, but...... I would love it if you could do a video about budget 3d printers that are simple to use for us old people. I am loving the new knives that are coming. Also, please ask the person who made the washers that replace the bearings to market them.
Dimensions of the stock Lander 3 bearings in inches -
OD: 0.375"
ID: 0.200"
Thickness: 0.047"

Also, WICKED pen, Ben! 🙌
Finally the Banter 2 was announced. Since I held it in my hand I knew I need it in my life 😁
Is there any chance we see a crossbar lock Baby Banter?
No chance. Ever. Never. No way. 😏
I had asked about jimping/gimping for the lander 3 during the Kickstarter campaign but the answer wasnt as detailed. Too thin by the thumb stud is explanation enough for me. Thanks.

Tell her about the toothpick and tweezers. I am sure she will understand.
So what are you saying? Is it took some brain damage for you to change up your pen game?
Just got my Lander 3 all blacked out.... I love this knife. It is replacing my Benchmade Bugout mini and I am super happy about it!

16:30 Excuse me please, you could just not jimp directly on top of the small thumb stud part, but still in front and behind.
That's 5 dollars please.
I wish your new edc pen was about half the size. Would be even better if it took the fisher pressurized cartridge. I much rather it have a small glass breaker than a toothpick. Tweezers, I can see being handy.
Loving the Baby Banter fixed blade! When will these be available!?
When will yall have more baby banter fixed blades? I went to buy one with the link in the description but they said sold out. All I carry now is the small fixes and really want one
Now I am tempted to order a new knife AND a new pen! That way I can have the tweezers and the toothpick even when I can't carry a SAK on my keychain. Now about those scissors.....
I was going to get this pen. Until I saw the price No not for a pen that can only us a bic pen refill. My be for $50.00 but not for the asking price.
If you’re 33 you were 16 when the wii came out. Technically wii won’t be vintage until 2026
Have you tried a pilot g2 pen before? 😂 I feel like those are light years better than a Bic Crystal.
Big idea design pens are so awesome. I love mine. I was a refill buying fool after getting mine.
You should making a folding lander 2 with a sheep foot blade!
Awesome video guys! Love the pen and Baby Banter fixed blade!!! Anybody remember the Sega Channel?!?
I need a video of how Ben got to get his designs in front of these knife companies. I am also curious if you guys ever look at other peoples designs?
I want to see Ben and Knafs move into the modern traditionals with a Knafs Barlow and Knafs Whittler. That would be off the chain.
🥳 you kept the bic pen and showed it in the video, what an honor! that made my knives festival even more beautiful. you are my hero. 😎👍
I really like an in pocket sheath especially for a small fix blade. Looking forward to see what you come up with!
The black cristal xtra-bold has been my favorite pen for a long time. I cant wait to get this pen if I can use those cartridges in it!
I just grabbed a knife joy Bowie a few minutes. They released a handful of knives without telling anyone
Oh damn I need that banter 2 specifically in the Wharncliffe blade! I love my wharnie we banter so much ❤
How have you rocked a Bic Crystal without it heating up and exploding in your jeans like all the time? 🤔
If i have the Sendy should i get the Sancho? In case i lose the tweezers or toothpick.
Love the way the banter 2 is looking
Once I saw the bic crystal insert, my first thought was they're going to make millions with this.
Doc Brown invented the flux capacitor after hitting his head, you invented a pen.
Whatever it takes sales strategy leaves me in stitches...thats a pen i would buy..😊
Am I the only one who wishes the wood-handled Sendy had an option for the spey blade?
Eww I hate those one way Bic pens. Bruh finally, thank you so much!
What does an E dirt bike crash and refusing to practice the piano have in common?
Stitches and scars. If you know, you know. 🤫😎
My first foray into ER visits!!
first console was sega Genisis, and now i feel like that ages me a bit too much lol
Already preordered the blue Banter 2 and I am so glad Knafs is doing this!
The finger choil in the Baby Banter fixed blade is perfection! 👍🏼
Dude looks like Ben from BladeHQ
I've carried a Tul pen for the last 2 years and it's hard to beat for me.
I would love to see an in pocket sheath for the baby banter fixed blade.
Okay it's not a sharpening pen, but it's still cool!
My favorite late knife show by far. 🎉🎉🎉 it was good to see you again on The Netherlands. Let me know when I can post the interview in my channel. Lot of stuff going on in knafs at this moment. 😜👍
Pablo! I think you’re good to post now that the knives have been announced. Adelante amigo!
The Bic ball point inside the brass pen is a superb idea. Well done!
I’d love to see a baby banter with a crossbar lock 😍
The more I see the Sancho pen the more I "get it" it's pretty neat
Now make that banter cross lock a wharncliffe blade 😊
I just want a cool pen that takes zebra gel pen inserts 😩
I hope that metal tooth pick is softer than my teeth bro!
I like Ben's version of the Boker Rockstub. 🙂
How bout a banter fixed blade with a scandi grind 👌🏼
thats not a Bic Crystal. thats a FRINDLE Mofo!
It is great to see Ben and Austin together on TH-cam again.
Oh, and, we want scales for our Sendys! Please!
Leatherman needs to bring the squirt series back
A Chinese pen for $120?! Uh, how about “NO”…
Happy birthday BT from Australia.
Will now I have to get a new pen and knife 💪🏾
You get a little gimping over all that jimping
Thank you guys so much for this video :) I was highly entertained while cleaning knives 😂.
Can't wait for the next Field Trips from Denmark and Germany.
It was a blast meeting you Ben!
Best wishes Phil
And I'm going to need Austins shirt 👾🐱
Can we get a two bladed lander or sendy?
So great to see that cup on the table, Ben! 💪
It's not electric blue, it's Ben blue.
Carry your pen in your left pocket!
brother, I need this pen so badly
You got me. I backed the pen.
What kind of wallet is that ??
The only Banter I haven’t owned is the Big version…which is odd because I’m a fairly large man at 6’7” 280lbs. I’m ttuly hoping for a “Goldilocks Banter”…. The just right edc size of 7.25 OAL, linerlock without a finger choil. I always keep my fingers crossed! Anyways, keep up the great work!!

Is that nubbin of separation something that cannot be duplicated for legal reasons, or is it just a design not thought about?
You’re going to like our next Kickstarter… 😏
I also do prefer washers.
Need that purple banter 2 😍
I was one of many who backed your ruler and I had you sign your name on it. I know it was hard signing titanium, but just know it is used and it is extra special for me. Thanks again, fellas. Tell Jamie to say hi on camera and to update his IG w more photos!
I'm around on occasion. Don't do much Instagram anymore though. - Jamie
some Altered Beast on Sega
I already have 3 Tactile Turn pens and 1 We Knife pen, so I have no need for another EDC pen but I ordered 2 Sancho pens because they just look so awesome ! And I cannot order the Banter 2 yet but ohhhhhh it looks so great !!
Thanks for the support, Nicolas!

Shout out to Pete from Cedric&Ada for the new Sendy theme song! th-cam.com/video/VlSMraOBRlw/w-d-xo.html
The best. We’re featuring it in next week’s episode.
I’ve spent hundreds of dollars on Banters and Landers (and scales), but I will not spend money to subsidize Jerri-curl.
Thanks for the support! And someday when all my hair falls out (probably sooner than later), I’m excited to have you back on board. As an interesting side note: I spent 35 years of my life never knowing I had naturally curly hair. I had always kept my hair military short. Anyway, I’ve been starting to bald around the edges, and i realized long hair was a limited time option. So I grew it out. Surprise! It’s curly! It’s been a really fun adventure.
Sancho is super cool but I've been using the same zebra f701 for 3 years and it's still going strong
The F701 has got to be one of the best bang for buck pens out there. It's so good.
I need that purple!
I called it...
Oh, I had the chance to try the crossbar Banter when Ben was in Germany… wow, that’s an amazing knife!
