Ratings and Reviews
NOT just “a good knife for non knife people”
Before pulling the trigger on this knife I saw a bunch of comments from “knife people” on YouTube and Reddit saying this was too vanilla, not interesting enough, a good knife for non-knife people. I beg to differ. I have a pretty good knife collection from all the big brands, I have some expensive knives costing many times more than this Banter. This knife is kick ass. It feels… read more so solid, the action is fantastic, it’s so snappy and satisfying. The fit and finish are superb. The blade came razor sharp and remains so after a week of use. It’s a pleasure to use, love the blade shape. It’s a pleasure just to hold it. I am a huge fan of this knife.
Buy It While You Can!!
I kept reading the reviews on this knife and I have a lot of EDC options but decided to go for it. Quite possibly the best action I have ever flipped and I have ZT, Benchmade, Spyderco, Civivi and several other quality blades…and I’m a sucker for the BHQ natural G10 scales. I have more expensive knives but my sweet spot is for flippers…but this one if you are on the fence… read more just do it!
Beyond impressed
I bought this knife because I was a huge fan of the ergos and action of the baby banter from civivi. This knife is just fantastic. The action is amazing, the G10 is super grippy, everything about this knife is well done. The blade steel is remarkable for the price. I think anyone would be happy to add this to their collection. Civivi and WE have certainly made a fan out of me. I’m… read more hoping they do a baby banter in a premium blade steel because I love that design as well. 10/10 highly recommend, there is not a lot of knives that compete for the money
Gentle EDC
Great buy, love the grip and blade for everyday tasks. This knife is easy 1 of 3 in my wife's carry rotation
It's a Keeper!
I love everything about this knife! Buy one before its too late.
Buy It
Absolutely love this knife. Buy it if you are thinking about it. Action is great. Sharp out of the box. Honestly my only issue with it is how did they make a smaller version? I'd be interested in a larger version to be honest. A+++++
Good solid little knife
I haven`t bought a new knife in maybe 25 years and got the bug for one. After a lot of looking, I finally settled on this one for EDC. First off it is built tight, I like that because it means as it wears in it will stay tight but smooth. It came a little dry, so it got some light oil and a small adjustment to alignment. It has already been operated several hundred times and will… read more do so in the evenings for a week or so. After a week of oiling/operating, I`ll take it apart and clean it thoroughly, lightly oil it once more and I`m sure this is going to be a wonderful little knife. The color is not as white/clear as I thought it would be, and the green is a beautiful shade. My wedding ring is made of Jade so they are nearly a perfect match. This would make almost anybody a fine EDC knife that they would also be proud to show to others. Good choice for me.
Excellent Knife
Heavier than my other Banter by about .5oz with a thicker blade. Action wasn't quite as smooth but we're really splitting hairs here because it's still great. A small shot of oil and the action took off. Highly recommend.
Great Knife!
Love the knife overall. Great size and action. All star materials used. Only gripe is that the liner lock is a bit uncomfortable to use; almost sharp. If it wasn’t coated black, I would look to file the teeth down. Stops you from you constantly opening and closing it, I guess (no fidget guarantee!).
Not as Jade as shown. But awesome!!
Love the knife. Super smooth action, very sharp out of the box, very well built. My only disappointment was that it was very pale in color. I was expecting more of a Jade green than the pale green Jade i got. Still love the knife just not as shown here.
Great knife
Nice knife says black stone wash but mine is more dlc then stone wash
Goldilocks
Not too big, not too small. It's just right! Great action out of the box and the 20CV came shaving sharp out of the box. I didn't expect to like this as much as I do, but this knife lives up to the hype so much so that I bought another.
Fricken Awesome!!
Umm super awesome knife!! Great purchase for medium hands, glides on barrings, swift opening! The banter definitely gives you something talk about! Natural G-10 gives the knife a whole vibe!! I have only recommendation: a compression lock button! It would make the knife that more fidgety! This is a thicc piece of cpm 20cv that yields to nothing!! Straight ahead!! Choo Choo, get… read more out the way boxes!!
EDC 10/10
Perfect EDC knife -- not too much knife or not too little knife. No complaints, or issues. Will be buying another color ASAP.
Nailed it
Very happy with this EDC. I finally have found a knife that can compete with my Benchmade Mini Freek Limited Edition. Plus it’s cheaper then the 565 special edition. This WE Banter comes with a centered, gimped, thick, insanely sharp CPM20CV(YES CPM20CV) steel. Just the right length for everyday cuts. For the price it smashes the Bugout. Better steel, thicker and better handle… read more materials than Bugout. I’m a Benchmade guy. But I have to give credit where credit is due. The Natural G-10 handle feels and fits perfect in my hand. The scales are super thick and feel sturdy when deploying blade. I love the perfect weight of the Banter. The sound and smooth action is satisfying. Did I mention it has a deep carry pocket clip? Lol The deep carry pocket clip is very nice. I love this knife and for the price you have to collect 1 too. Thank you HQ I will be carrying it a lot. Sorry Benchmade.
Another Banter, yes please!
Love the Natural G10 with the Black SW Blade. Amazing action just as in the original design. I enjoy the thicker blade stock with the 20CV steel just to make justifying buying another knife to the wife easier :D.
All in all 10/10 just as in the original version. Spear point, lightning action, deep carry clip with recessed clip and screws and under 3 inches for those with…

laws that regulate that.
Ben, keep up the great work!
Great, but heavier and thicker than original.
This is a great blade and I love the look and feel of the natural G-10 and the 20CV upgrade. However, I immediately noticed that it was considerably thicker and heavier than its original Banter counterpart (one of my favorite knives). The thicker 20CV blade also makes the action a bit rougher and slower. Still an all-around a great knife. But if the sleek, compact, and light design… read more is what attracted you to the original Banter (like me), this may not me be the knife for you.
Amazing EDC
Perfect Size, and so fidget friendly. Really a knock out of a knife. I can't stop playing with it.
