Big Banter Thumb Stud Knife Green Micarta Handle

The WE Knife Big Banter with micarta handle brings a more organic, lived in feel to the well known Banter platform while delivering the size and performance many users asked for. Designed for everyday carry with extra cutting authority, this version offers excellent balance, smooth thumb stud deployment, and a handle that feels comfortable and secure during extended use. It is a practical, no nonsense folding knife that fits naturally into daily carry without feeling bulky or overbuilt.

Refining a Proven Design

Designer Ben Petersen created the Big Banter as a direct evolution of his original Banter, scaling it up to provide more blade length and hand filling comfort while maintaining clean lines and easy control. The micarta handle option adds a traditional material choice to a modern folding knife, giving it a slightly warmer, more tactile character that improves with use over time. This design reflects a focus on real world usability, combining modern precision with materials that age gracefully.

High Performance Materials with Everyday Practicality

The blade is crafted from CPM 20CV steel, offering excellent edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, and finished in a gray stonewash that helps hide wear from regular use. A flat ground drop point blade makes the Big Banter versatile for slicing, utility work, and general cutting tasks. The green canvas micarta handle provides a secure grip even in varied conditions, while the nested liner lock keeps the knife slim and comfortable in the pocket. A caged ceramic ball bearing pivot delivers smooth, controlled action, and the ambidextrous tip up pocket clip allows both left and right hand carry, rounding out a premium everyday carry knife built for long term use.
