An Evolution of a Modern EDC Classic

Nitro-V Blade and Micarta Grip for Daily Performance

The 2.34 inch drop point blade is crafted from Nitro-V stainless steel, heat treated for excellent edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. A flat grind and grey stonewashed finish provide efficient slicing performance and a clean, utilitarian appearance. The green canvas micarta handle offers a warm, tactile grip that improves with use, paired with stainless steel liners for strength and durability. Thumb stud deployment combined with a caged ceramic ball bearing pivot delivers smooth, consistent action, while the crossbar lock ensures secure operation during daily cutting tasks.

The CIVIVI Baby Banter 2 is a thoughtfully updated EDC knife that blends compact size, modern locking technology, and premium materials into a dependable everyday companion.
