Better value than I expected!
I am a brutal EDC user, I've put Benchmade's, and Spyderco"s midlines through he** over the years. Times change, and so does value. The Baby Banter was exactly the size and blade I was looking for. It arrived and I was actually shocked by every aspect of this baby. The locking system is flawless, secure and no slop at all. The blade is as sharp as a scalpel, ( I do know). The grip is a perfect blend of form, feel and function. I don't want to get all misty, but this is an instant favorite. I hope it reasonably stands up over time.

Excellent knife, not for large hands
Nice and small high quality for restrictive workplaces/jurisdictions or just not scaring people. I love the fit, finish, and how secure the blades feels. The only problem I have is that the crossbar lock is a bit stiff for the grip position you need to open it with one hand if you have large hands. If they sold this knife with one of their button locks instead It would instantly be the favorite knife in my collection
