Perfect size for me and one of my favorites
The We Banter blade is approximately a half an inch longer than a Civivi Baby Banter blade and is a perefect EDC imho. I love the blue aluminium handles that are slightly textured to enable a secure grip when deploying the blade. The S35VN steel is a nice upgrade over Nitro V, which is used on most Civivi knives, The blade on this knife is very sharp and is perfect to open boxes or do small chores. I also love the crossbar lock, which seemlessly opens and closes the knife or you can use the thumb stud to easily flick the knife open. In conclusion, this is a great EDC pocket knife and I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a very smart lookiing, compact and capable modern pocket knife.

One of my favorite all around perfect pocket knives
I am a female knife collector and own over 800 knives. This specific knife, the WE Banter with the blue aluminum handles is amongst my favorites. Why? It has a snappy opening, the blade isn't too long and the S35VN blade steel and the blade shape is very sharp and utlitarian. I also love the crossbar lock, and the aluminum handles that are textured gives a good grip to the knife. I highly recommend this knife for a great all around every day carry, which would fit most male and female hand sizes and is a bit bigger in a very good way than a Civivi Baby Banter. FYI, I own another WE Banter and five Civivi Baby Banters.
