Banter 2 Thumb Stud & Crossbar Lock Knife Green Micarta Handle

The WE Knife Banter 2 is built for everyday carry users who want a compact folding knife that feels secure, balanced, and effortless to use. With its lightweight profile and comfortable micarta handle, this knife disappears in the pocket while remaining ready for daily cutting tasks. The thumb stud opening and crossbar lock offer smooth, controlled operation, making the Banter 2 an excellent choice for reliable one handed use throughout the day.

A Modern Evolution of a Trusted Design

Designed by Ben Petersen, the Banter 2 represents the next step in the Banter lineup, refining the original concept with updated ergonomics and a modern locking mechanism. While the size remains ideal for everyday carry, the addition of a crossbar lock improves accessibility for both left and right handed users. The micarta handle brings a natural, tactile feel that develops character over time, blending classic materials with contemporary knife design.

Premium Materials in a Lightweight Package

The blade is crafted from CPM S35VN steel, offering an excellent balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, and finished in a gray stonewash that helps conceal wear from regular use. A flat ground drop point blade provides versatile cutting performance for daily tasks. The green canvas micarta handle and matching back spacer create a cohesive look while delivering a secure grip. A caged ceramic ball bearing pivot ensures smooth action, and the ambidextrous tip up pocket clip supports comfortable left or right hand carry, making the Banter 2 a refined and practical everyday carry knife.
