    Wholeheartedly agree on a Civivi version! The 20CV is nice on my Titanium WE knives, but I really don't need it on this one. Either way though, I've been hoping Ben would do this ever since getting my Baby Banter. Don't know if I want to get the WE or hold out for a budget version, but I definitely want one. Good job Ben, and good job MC!

    I just adopted this knife yesterday it's been in my pocket since. Sorry can't tell much but yeah it's a nice carry. The weight is good even out. The blade style very nice my preference of an edc knife. All out size nose to butt perfect for all grips.

    You gotta hand it to Ben Peterson. I remember his BHQ videos, and he clearly learned a lot from handling so many knives. I have the baby Banter, and it kicked a Dragonfly out of the top 5th pocket knife slot for me.
    EDIT: I do wish that instead of a forward swedge, this large one had another patch of jimping near the tip.
    I also prefer no sharpening choil, like Spyderco does. I've never had a problem re-sharpening a blade without a choil, but I have had choils get hung up on rope, straps, packaging, etc. and it's annoying.

    Hopefully Ben\WE will re-release the original Banter with the finger choil. I love that choil and actually will use the Baby Banter more than the original Banter because of the choil. This would be great for 3" legality.

  • @vitusbering6453
    @vitusbering6453 2 місяці тому

    seems like a good knife. Oversized choil ads control, and stud had been moved out of sharpening area. The only problem with design is the extended handle. To be agronomical, it needed to be slightly bent, Like similar sized Shaman and Para 2.
