WE Banter 2 Blue Aluminum Handle Satin Finished CPM S35VN Blade – WE23075-1

Elevate your everyday carry with the Crossbar Lock Banter 2, a masterpiece of practical design by Ben Peterson of Knafs Co. This upgraded version retains the compact versatility of the original Banter while unlocking true ambidextrous performance. Whether you’re a right-hander or a left-hander, the Banter 2 adapts seamlessly to your grip, delivering unmatched comfort, control, and reliability day in and day out.

At the heart of the Banter 2 lies a precision-crafted 2.87-inch CPM-S35VN stainless steel drop point blade. Known for exceptional edge retention and corrosion resistance, this satin-finished blade glides through tasks with effortless precision—everything from opening packages to carving rope becomes smooth, accurate, and safe. The flat grind profile ensures consistent cutting performance, while the 59–61 HRC hardness rating guards against premature dulling.

The Banter 2’s handle is a study in ergonomic engineering. Its blue-anodized aluminum scales combine lightweight strength with a tactically sculpted footprint that fills your palm. With a generously flared base and thoughtfully placed jimping, you’ll experience rock-solid grip and nuanced control, even in wet or slippery conditions. The slim closed length of 3.79 inches ensures discreet carry, and at just 3.06 ounces, it disappears in your pocket until you need it.

Ambidextrous by design, the Banter 2 features dual thumb studs for effortless deployment from either side and a reversible deep-carry pocket clip that rides low and secure. The robust crossbar locking mechanism provides unshakeable blade stability under heavy use, while the caged ceramic bearing pivot guarantees silky-smooth opening and closing for thousands of cycles.

Whether you’re tackling daily chores, heading out on weekend adventures, or simply appreciate precision engineering in your pocket, the Crossbar Lock Banter 2 delivers the perfect balance of size, strength, and versatility. Meticulously crafted and rigorously tested, this knife is built to be the last folder you’ll ever need.
