      Ben, Hi I’ve enjoyed your work since BHQ and I’m and EDC’ing We Banter owner. Also I recall in a video you said that the gray G10 satin bladed Banter was ugly but I’ll have you know that every analyst on my team happily fidget flicks that model in the office. My wish: a We Banter (Ultra, Plus, Mega?) that’s at least as long as a Bugout. 👍🏻🙏✌🏻

    I hate how CIVIVI is getting the premium features like stone wash and similar clips like WE knives. There needs to be more difference between the WE and CIVIVI knives. I love my banter and I will buy a Carbon one because of YOUR CHOICE to pull back something you knew was bad. I appreciate that makes me proud of my WE Banter.

    • @benbanters

    BEN! Youre amazing 👏 love your designs. I just picked up the knife center exclusive banter in purple g10 amd 20cv blade and im loving it! I still have the original ben blue banter in s35vn too! They are both so great and its awesome to have both steels. I just got a baby banter in black g10 a little while ago and bought some lunar scales for it from your website. I am a huge fan of your designs, integrity, and hard work. I plan to collect all your designs as they are releases. Cant wait to see if there will be a large banter and what it will look like, i have bigger hands and would love a big version (as long as its not too expensive). Im thinking it would look pretty darn cool too. 😎 Cant wait to see what you got for us next Ben and WE knives! Sweet vid and keep up the great work!

    Hey guys.😊 I have a baby banter in black g10 with black washed blade but I don't have a banter yet. Yet. I like Micarta. May invest in one now. 😊 Hey just a suggestion, on the baby banter maybe make the plunge grind to come down at angle toward pivot hole and not straight down toward heel/end of blade. Sharpening and stropping would be easier. Thanks.

    Would have been easy to just use the same polished steel logo insert as the other g10 baby banter but for continuity they went with a similar washed gunmetal insert for the micarta baby banter. The little details are important and reflect the makers commitment to making a solid product.

    The Baby Banter reminds me of a current day take on an old fashioned Cub pattern lockback. Seriously check it out, they're very similar. Was it intentional or is it just that good designs tend to have the same features? I'd really like to know if he used it as inspiration or not.
