CIVIVIBaby Banter Pocket Knife for EDC, Ben Petersen Folding Knife with 2.34 in Nitro V Steel Blade G10 Handle, Titanium Thumb Stud Opener C19068S-7(Red)

Ok. Full transparency here. Most of the knives in my collection are Benchmades, but CIVIVI hits it out of the ballpark with many of their budget friendlier knives. The Baby Banter by Ben Peterson is no exception. I truly enjoy the micarta scales and the green color. The action is smooth and makes for a great fidget knife. The blade is extremely sharp and perfectly centered. I also bought a second one (the white G10 scales with red blade) and that was also perfect. The smaller size makes them a no brainer for EDC and easier to carry in my bra. Yes, I have bra knives. I may even purchase another because the purple aluminum scales with the black blade is looking sexier by the minute. <smiles> Thank you WE Knife Company!

The Civivi Baby Banter is an amazing edc pocket knife. I have large hands and this mini knife’s handle mysteriously fits my hand perfectly! The detent on the blade snaps every time it’s opened and it easily closes with little effort using one hand. I like it so much that I’ve purchased two more in the series. The liner lock hold the blade secure until it is easily disengaged by the user. I prefer the Baby Banter liner lock over many of my mod and full sized knives. It’s the perfect fifth pocket edc knife. Take it from a guy with large hands (I’m 6’3” and 220 lbs) this knife is sharp and cuts perfectly while fitting even my big hands.

I love this knife it is really sharp and small. I have it to my cousin cause I am a female I love the small size and it is lightweight. But I am left handed and it is hard for me to shut. I wish it had a button close on it.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I really like the colors of this knife. They remind me of a billiards table. It feels solid, opens smoothly, with a nice click locking the blade open. A very comfortable handle makes for a lovely little knife.

This is a great knife. I like the fact that it is larger than a swiss army pocket knife, but can still fit in my pocket and has a clip. The only negative (and not a bad one at that) is that is it a bit hard to open with one hand, I feel that if I force it too much, I could end up cutting myself so I usually use two hands to open and close it. Maybe a little bit of oil on the hinge might fix the issue.

I saw this and got it just for the literal curiosity of how well the steel could actually be for the rediculous reasonable price. Its decently cheap for anything on the market with carbon/decent steel. Did as much research as i could to find the recipe, but i believe i saw that it IS a secret sauce steel recipie they (WEKNIFE) IS working VERY hard to keep secret. I can very much see why because, for ever and for true, this has been the most durable "cheap damascus" I have ever had in my hand. I've been using it to break down boxes at work for the last week. And it's cutting like a champ. Holding the edge very similar to the9cr18mov/440c referenced when i researched online for any mentioned recipe. The steel is absolutely not up to the level of like a s35vn or any premium i think, but by far the best ive ever used in a damascus form this price. That being said, I'm a knife guy, stropping/maintaining my knives Almost 2 to 4 times a week. So this is a steel that if you have heavy use, will need solid maintenance and sharpening like any mid-level knife steel. However, if you are gonna do what i'm deciding to do now, it will hold an edge much longer. I decided to upgrade it with some flytanium black ti scales cus i had a hunch....folks i gotta be real.... I gotta tell you. This has become the best personal metal fidget toy EVER. After getting that weight in the scales, it just flips and clicks just as good as any crazy high quality fidget pocket "trash" as edc heads will start to say, me included lol. Don't be afraid, get you one of these and enjoy it. For the ridiculous, cheap price it is Absolutely the perfect gift for a knife head in your family. Bling it out if you want cause the aftermarket scene is nuts.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Perfect size for EDC and I love the look

The media could not be loaded. I absolutely love this knife. I was looking for something small and lightweight while still being high quality and dependable and this checked all the boxes. Im using it with my summer edc setup which includes my springfield hellcat micro compact and this.The action is so smooth and satisfying, I find myself sitting here and opening and closing it all the time. And I love how the blade is curved at the bottom to give you more grip on the knife. I plan on buying more in the future and I may even be getting one for my wife since the size is perfect for her. I love the fact that I can open and close it with one hand, that was a huge selling point for me.In the winter I'll be looking to get something like the kizer drop bear and maybe a larger edc handgun.. But this would work all year too no doubt. If you're on the fence about getting one I can't recommend them enough. The quality for the price is outstanding, you won't be disappointed.
