In March 2022, WE released a Marble Carbon Fibre version of the Banter - a classy choice of scales for an excellent knife.
The Banter from WE Knife is a premium EDC knife, backed by WE's solid reputation among the knife and EDC community for there use of premium materials, the tightest manufacturing tolerances and strictest quality control around - and the Banter is really no exception.
Designed by Ben Petersen, the Banter is made to be the perfect EDC knife, after all, Ben Peterson has handled a lot of knives in his career, and we think it's spot on. Completely unassuming in design, yet perfectly practical in use.
Featuring premium S35VNv steel and textured G10 scales, along with WE's renowned super smooth ceramic ball bearing pivot, the Banter looks and feels like a knife that should cost a lot more then it does. The ceramic ball bearing pivot, with the thumb stud, offers effortless, fast and smooth blade deployment that locks in with a satisfying click. With incredible edge retention from the S35VN steel, and a solid deep carry pocket clip, along with all the other great features, the Banter is a knife you don't want to miss out on.

Includes plush lined pouch and cleaning cloth.
If you love the Banter, you'd also love to add this Banter Maintenance Mat/Mouse Pad to your collection. Designed by Ben Peterson, it'd be the perfect addition to your work space.
