    The Banter would be perfect if it was marbled carbon fiber and was a button lock, albeit it is pretty awesome like it is lol

      Sent an email this morning, hope it went to the right place since I was half asleep still when I sent it lol.

      @jdotrillah ปีที่แล้ว

      A baby front or top flipper as well, it’s perfect for a front flipper

    Need a regular sized Banter with a finger choil next 😅 The big baby Banter 😆

  • @OreoDave
    @OreoDave ปีที่แล้ว +9

    Ben needs to just continue designing knives that he loves. The community will follow.

  • @timtitus2532
    @timtitus2532 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The finger choil behind the sharpening choil is perfect, this knife is perfection in design.

  • @johnlehman27
    @johnlehman27 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I'd love a titanium banter, possibly with a 4 inch blade!

  • @HighCRI
    @HighCRI ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Existing Banters are legends.
    The one version I’ve thought would be neat is a 3.3” based off the original Banter. Ti frame lock (maybe nested framelock like the Waypoint), sharpening choil, no finger choil. Some steel other than 20CV, maybe S35, S45, or even Magnacut if they can swing it.

  • @RossHoekman
    @RossHoekman ปีที่แล้ว +5

    A titanium version would be pretty slick (maybe even with some light texture/milling like the Rockwall), and I agree that an OG size button lock Banter would be really cool! Aftermarket scale options would be awesome too… Different colors, ti, copper, bronze, etc.

  • @davesober2093
    @davesober2093 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Something bigger yet.

  • @kellypainter7625
    @kellypainter7625 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I just got my Big Banter with micarta. My first of the banter knives. Love it. I have a baby banter on order. I would like the regular banter with the finger choil.

  • @RockyMountainEDC
    @RockyMountainEDC ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Banter series is great !! Would love to see a titanium handle version with titanium pocket clip an hardware 🎉

  • @TysonHook-22-
    @TysonHook-22- ปีที่แล้ว

    The Banter design begs for a button lock! it would be so perfect.
    Also id love to see more blades shapes used like how the Benchmade Griptailian and others can be brought in a drop point, tanto or sheepsfoot... I think the Banter is a perfect base design to be used for a variety of blade shapes.
    and lastly, personally I think the thumbstuds could be removed too for even cleaner lines, I think all thats needed is a nice clean nail nick or fuller groove to deploy the knaf with kinda like those seen on the civivi chevalier/conspirator would be perfection on a Banter imo... a flipper tab would be cool too but personally i reverse flick everything these days!! so next to a spydie hole a nice fuller groove is my favorite deployment method nowadays.

    Button lock banter! That wld be fidgety and cool..keep up the great work guys!

  • @victorhuguez3188

  • @jordan1210channel
    @jordan1210channel ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Love to see each new member of the Banter family! I think a button lock or even a slip joint version would be cool

  • @sofianabbasi2735
    @sofianabbasi2735 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    A full titanium version would be awesome!

  • @homeofinventions
    @homeofinventions ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The Banter XL should be next. Not wacko like the Espada's largest version, but BIGGER...

  • @EstellaJosh
    @EstellaJosh ปีที่แล้ว +1

    WE Banter with button lock will be awesome

  • @dakotaday6815
    @dakotaday6815 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Can’t wait to get the big banter! Thanks for creating awesome knives.😄👍🏻 I agree with the button lock idea! Let’s do that next.

  • @deathr0pe
    @deathr0pe ปีที่แล้ว

    Big banter is perfect. Definitely needs more colorways though. I was personally a very big fan of the baby banter with the ivory handle and red blade

  • @Doc.Holiday
    @Doc.Holiday ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I’d like to see a premium steel Button Lock Elementum!! LOVE THAT HOLLOW GRIND! Keep it thin and simple! Just upgrade the materials.

  • @kzoodan2603
    @kzoodan2603 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    For me it’s a tie between the button lock banter and the full titanium frame lock fancy banter! 😂

  • @nickm6386
    @nickm6386 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    Titanium or aluminum frame lock banter with a finger choil is what we need next. A button lock would be sweet too

  • @andyhayward1261
    @andyhayward1261 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Woo first comment, love the big banter looks great!
    The banter would be perfect if it had a button lock!

    The Big Banter will be perfect... in my hands!

  • @angellira1282
    @angellira1282 ปีที่แล้ว

    Ideas for the Ben knife line 🤔
    -button lock!
    -fixie option? I love the ergos but would be curious as a fixie with a full tang. Sort of an alternate to giantmouse
    -a cleaver style blade shape? Call it the Block Ben

  • @jonweisel1649
    @jonweisel1649 ปีที่แล้ว

    My baby banter just arrived today and love it.
    Would love to see a banter with a flipper next.

  • @tomweingart2337
    @tomweingart2337 ปีที่แล้ว

    A button lock is a great idea but I like it just the way it is ‼️

  • @bladesandcoffee8583
    @bladesandcoffee8583 ปีที่แล้ว

    Lo amo Ben sigue haciendo cosas así de chingonas!!! Tus diseños es lo que la gente desea en una navaja congrats man!!! And I ll be waiting for the next one but first I have to break the pig for to get a big banter in micarta

  • @billburns2697
    @billburns2697 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for all you do Ben. The Banter could use a wee bit more relief to allow access to the liner lock. I'm a senior/long time collector. Us older gents lose dexterity and fine motor skills. (This doesn't stop me from carrying and enjoying my shredded carbon fibre Banter). I just received my Big Banter here in Canada and have to say it is stellar. A large handle is perfect for my medium slow moving hands. Can't wait to see what you dream up next.

  • @grimispotato245
    @grimispotato245 ปีที่แล้ว

    Just love the banter. It's all around well fit nice blade shaped a very well designed of a edc knife. I have mines in pocket everywhere I go.
    I would love to get the family in purple black blade oh yeah very nice !
    Uh on a custom I would try a variety of blade shapes.

  • @Grizuo
    @Grizuo ปีที่แล้ว

    I need to get me a baby banter although some titanium scales would definitely very cool addition

  • @danieljennagrouse
    @danieljennagrouse ปีที่แล้ว

    People may say it's too blocky and ugly, but it's surprisingly comfortable. I think the next thing we need is a locking mechanism that keeps your fingers out of the cutting path. Maybe a crossbar style lock?

  • @Aircooledcorey
    @Aircooledcorey ปีที่แล้ว

    The banter would be perfect… with a button lock 🔒 it’s a great design

  • @jasonwagemann9386
    @jasonwagemann9386 ปีที่แล้ว

    The banter would be better if Ben made it in full Ti and M390😅 good looking knife can’t wait to get mine!

  • @MrTJohnston
    @MrTJohnston ปีที่แล้ว

    Love the banter. I like bigger knives so this is next on my list

  • @jeffjuice3886
    @jeffjuice3886 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I think a aluminum or Ti with a button lock on a thinner type knife like the banter would better than say a frame lock. So that is my two cents - metal body, with a button lock. To start out anyway. Could always use CF, g10 etc as well. Thanks and grats on the success!

  • @horkersnorker
    @horkersnorker ปีที่แล้ว

    Next you say?? The Banter button lock with the same new design features of the Big Banter but 3.3" blade.. SWEET SPOT!!

  • @nicolasgoursaud3453
    @nicolasgoursaud3453 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think button lock too, that’s will be perfect

  • @elcheb
    @elcheb ปีที่แล้ว

    A Burton lock would be awesome! And Orange color 👍🏼

  • @stilgareo
    @stilgareo ปีที่แล้ว

    I would really like a titanium version, the guard on the choir and a size button lock would be really cool!

  • @75shmomo
    @75shmomo ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Titanium versions for the office or like a boss flexing event. The entire Banter line is awesome and titanium versions would make it legendary status. Level up

  • @vincelemasurier7464
    @vincelemasurier7464 ปีที่แล้ว

    Well it has to be a banter OG with a button lock of course 🧐

  • @fredf9562
    @fredf9562 ปีที่แล้ว

    A standard Banter with the big banter’s choils in with a thumb stud / flipper deployment. However, that being said for this urban city dweller the big banter with both choils, micarta and sweet 20cv may be my “one and done” knife. Of course that means I’ll need to buy a spare!

  • @tj-kv6vr
    @tj-kv6vr ปีที่แล้ว

    2 excited Bro's, cute

  • @dupsguy
    @dupsguy ปีที่แล้ว

    Dude I love the Big Banter! Seriously! The size is perfect for what I use knives for. The dollar value is amazing! I own hundreds of mid range ($100 - $300) blades and the Big Banner with the CPM 20CV is by far the most value for the money. Now consider making a fixed blade Banter. Thanks!

  • @rayhaandesai2823
    @rayhaandesai2823 ปีที่แล้ว

    I thought it was perfect the moment he released the baby banter. I think either the regular banter or baby banter as a fixed blade would be a good step.

  • @zurielyoavramirezolvera9662
    @zurielyoavramirezolvera9662 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I think maybe Ben will made a Big Banter XL (size like a Cold steel Espada) or a Banter fixed blade

  • @gyrocompa
    @gyrocompa ปีที่แล้ว

    Please, make a titanium version of the big banter, With a frame lock or a button lock ! I would buy it instantly !

  • @MoosesGearGooReview
    @MoosesGearGooReview ปีที่แล้ว

    I love the Banter series of knives. I think you need to make a Banter Slim/Lite. The same length and blade shape as the original, but with a skinnier width, from from cutting edge to spine. Keep up the great work Ben

  • @DrFoxhound
    @DrFoxhound ปีที่แล้ว

    We need a banter tanto

  • @ruarkmichaels3320
    @ruarkmichaels3320 ปีที่แล้ว

    The banter would be perfect if it was a flipper haha. Love Ben, love the designs

  • @paullmight42
    @paullmight42 ปีที่แล้ว

    i just got one, it is pretty tanky. I've had the baby for a while and loved it. now i need to complete the set lol...the finger choil is a pretty big deal tho, i love it

  • @theEDCgeek
    @theEDCgeek ปีที่แล้ว

    I really prefer the OG, but I will get this one to complete the trifecta. Big Baby Banter 👊

  • @snseib
    @snseib ปีที่แล้ว

    I would buy one between the original and the big as long as it has the finger choil! Frame lock would be great. (I love my Landers!)

  • @Justin-ll3mj
    @Justin-ll3mj ปีที่แล้ว

    I think a different locking mechanism would be great. I remember some time back Ben sharing some design sketches in a video and it having an “axis” style lock. Unfortunately the patent had not expired but now is an opportunity to add that feature. Either that or a button lock on the OG Banter.

  • @lessdesspelless
    @lessdesspelless ปีที่แล้ว

    Button lock or exclusive titanium version would be great 👍

  • @infamouspanda5039
    @infamouspanda5039 ปีที่แล้ว

    I like the idea of building upon it. A button lock or frame lock would be awesome. Change out those thumb studs for a thumb hole too. 😮

  • @Everyday_Zach
    @Everyday_Zach ปีที่แล้ว

    Definitely a standard size banter with a choil! Instant buy if that were to happen🤘🏻

  • @ruslanspeculis955
    @ruslanspeculis955 ปีที่แล้ว

    I would say that fixed blade Banter would be interesting addition!

  • @codygifford1136
    @codygifford1136 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    The banter is an awesome blade. I'd love to see one made with a flipper tab, rather than thumb studs. Keep up the great work!

  • @bpitcher1026
    @bpitcher1026 ปีที่แล้ว

    Very cool update to the Banter design, I look forward to getting a big banter! It will be good to see in the future in more color combinations, I'm always a fan for a black blade on a green handle.

  • @paulbesemer6090
    @paulbesemer6090 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Ben just keep making stuff for knife people. I think you need to put 20CV or S35VN in the lander. Make a tanto lander/banter. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone at WE/CIVIVI , Ben and your family.

  • @TommyBoyVG
    @TommyBoyVG ปีที่แล้ว

    banter button locks plz!! the original and the big banter

  • @keithmoylan3093
    @keithmoylan3093 ปีที่แล้ว

    different variations like frame lock or button lock are probably what will be asked for the most, but i like how the cost has been kept a lot more in line with people sticking to budgets. Personally i think a fixed blade version would be the way to close out the series.

  • @tylerallen3587
    @tylerallen3587 ปีที่แล้ว

    Need a baby banter and a big banter with a flipper tab. Then do a OG banter button lock. 😮

  • @shelbypuckett
    @shelbypuckett ปีที่แล้ว

    He needs to design a mini baby banter, just for fun🤣

  • @LanningKann
    @LanningKann ปีที่แล้ว

    I just ordered a Big Banter to carry on duty. I have the regular sized and really like it, but I tend to migrate to the Endura and PM2 for work. This Big Banter should solve that issue. It reminds me of the old Wilson Combat Elite DDR designed, that I used to carry in the early 2000s.
    What’s next? Fixed Banter of course!! 5” blade.

  • @seeawn
    @seeawn ปีที่แล้ว

    Would love to see a big banter with a fixed blade! Maybe something inspired for hunting?

  • @adeximo
    @adeximo ปีที่แล้ว

    An increase of variety in various scales would be nice.

  • @michaelfrinks4094
    @michaelfrinks4094 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'd immediately jump on a 3.25" Banter with a finger choil. I really love the addition of a sharpening choil on the new knife as well. I've been wishing Spyderco would do it for years

  • @cptbrun0675
    @cptbrun0675 ปีที่แล้ว

    My personal preference would be a Wharncliffe blade on something in between Big and normal banter, around 3,2 inch please! ;P

  • @johnmartel1177
    @johnmartel1177 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think some models with interesting milling on the scales would be nice. The baby banter is the smallest knife I have and is way too small for practical use for me so the big one is looking good. ❤❤❤

  • @bernardwelsh1877
    @bernardwelsh1877 ปีที่แล้ว

    Next, a crazy fancy framelock of the original size banter with a finger choil

  • @bzebarth
    @bzebarth ปีที่แล้ว

    Is the liner lock easier to get to on the big banter than the normal one? That is my main complaint with the original, and it's a bit small for my hands. If the big banter has a bit of a cutout for the liner lock it would be perfect. Although a button lock would be better.

  • @tbrownleevt
    @tbrownleevt ปีที่แล้ว

    Regular size is perfect but the choil would be nice and maybe some small jimping for finger hold, Would also love to see more customizable options. Damascus/timascus/anodized hardware, different scale and liner options. Who doesn’t love to have a knife no one else has😮

  • @horkersnorker
    @horkersnorker ปีที่แล้ว

    I have been waiting for the Big Banter! Sweet knife Ben! Now I want to see a 4.5" - 4.75" Extra Big Banter! Call it the Bowie Banter. 😂 Do it!! Dooooo it!!!! 👍 The ultimate camping knife. Just sayin'. DO IT‼️ 😎

  • @winstonramirez1665
    @winstonramirez1665 ปีที่แล้ว

    Button lock like Civivi Elementum but in titanium handles please. Then thumb studs with built in tritium (both sides).

  • @Darth_Flip
    @Darth_Flip ปีที่แล้ว

    Just recently got the big banter and snick.

  • @ThisOnesForSatan
    @ThisOnesForSatan ปีที่แล้ว

    with the finger choil the banter would be perfect as a slipjoint imo. would also make it more accessible in many ways.

    • @juanQuedo
      @juanQuedo ปีที่แล้ว +1

      On a previous video he answered me that was considering a Banter without lock, but who knows

  • @natewilder1868
    @natewilder1868 ปีที่แล้ว

    Just for the sake of my ocd I would say the OG banter needs a choil as well… that said some of those statements Ben made got me excited “button lock” “contoured handles” those would be awesome as well.

  • @DoubleAJ77
    @DoubleAJ77 ปีที่แล้ว

    Well, you've already micarta'd all the things... How about a wharncliffe or a tanto? Maybe a bar(axis style) lock?

  • @playstopplay
    @playstopplay ปีที่แล้ว

    the big banter would be better with titanium scales plus frame lock, and jimping that goes further up the spine!

  • @Bri1370
    @Bri1370 ปีที่แล้ว

    Love the WE banter, Carbon Fiber for the big guy??

  • @GevorgHF
    @GevorgHF ปีที่แล้ว

    A titanium version with button lock would be great

  • @GM-gv1hq
    @GM-gv1hq ปีที่แล้ว

    Button lock and maybe make a Ti or aluminum version

  • @HobbyHobbit-ue6oi
    @HobbyHobbit-ue6oi ปีที่แล้ว

    If Ben, who seems like a nice, cool, regular Joe, can design a knife, I think I could too. You just need the right connections.

  • @theknifenut5466
    @theknifenut5466 ปีที่แล้ว

    A textured Ti big banter or a textured Ti button lock big banter!!!

  • @dwayneletterman3987
    @dwayneletterman3987 ปีที่แล้ว

    Oh , you know a button lock has to be next ! Brown or natural burlap , please !

  • @Colorado_Kkid
    @Colorado_Kkid ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I'd like to see a button lock and/or a fixed blade version ... That would be sweet ...

  • @mattharvey968
    @mattharvey968 ปีที่แล้ว

    I’m a fan of a full flat grind so hopefully that stays with any new design changes. Maybe a Banter fixed blade🤔

  • @Robs_Nerdy_Knives
    @Robs_Nerdy_Knives ปีที่แล้ว

    The banter would be perfect with titanium scales and a framelock, contoured carbon fiber or Fat Carbon scales, comes in Magnacut, has a hollow grind blade, has a button lock opening mechanism, or either or both a flipper and/or front flipper.

  • @Vamtal
    @Vamtal ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Actually, the length of the sharpened portion of blade on Big Banter and original Banter is almost the same. But the handle area is significantly bigger on Big Banter.
    I don't think handle length was problem on original Banter. People (like me) wanted a longer edge.

  • @juanQuedo
    @juanQuedo ปีที่แล้ว

    I say it on every Banter video…. We need The UK Banter or mini!

  • @berndk4649
    @berndk4649 ปีที่แล้ว

    The banter would be perfect, if it would have even more color options... but honestly, it's already a great platform! 👍👍

  • @flapxjackson
    @flapxjackson ปีที่แล้ว

    From the looks, a front flipper would be a relatively easy modification. I don’t think it would look much different from the current version. And it would add to the fidget factor.

  • @predathor558
    @predathor558 ปีที่แล้ว

    It is up to Ben, if he will be doing what is cheerful for him, then the result will be awesome. Maybe some beast version with big blade, or double bladed one... or with transparent scales or some optical illusion version :D
