CIVIVIBaby Banter Pocket Knife for EDC, Ben Petersen Folding Knife with 2.34 in Nitro V Steel Blade G10 Handle, Titanium Thumb Stud Opener C19068S-7(Red)

Ok. Full transparency here. Most of the knives in my collection are Benchmades, but CIVIVI hits it out of the ballpark with many of their budget friendlier knives. The Baby Banter by Ben Peterson is no exception. I truly enjoy the micarta scales and the green color. The action is smooth and makes for a great fidget knife. The blade is extremely sharp and perfectly centered. I also bought a second one (the white G10 scales with red blade) and that was also perfect. The smaller size makes them a no brainer for EDC and easier to carry in my bra. Yes, I have bra knives. I may even purchase another because the purple aluminum scales with the black blade is looking sexier by the minute. <smiles> Thank you WE Knife Company!

I love this knife it is really sharp and small. I have it to my cousin cause I am a female I love the small size and it is lightweight. But I am left handed and it is hard for me to shut. I wish it had a button close on it.

The Civivi Baby Banter is an amazing edc pocket knife. I have large hands and this mini knife’s handle mysteriously fits my hand perfectly! The detent on the blade snaps every time it’s opened and it easily closes with little effort using one hand. I like it so much that I’ve purchased two more in the series. The liner lock hold the blade secure until it is easily disengaged by the user. I prefer the Baby Banter liner lock over many of my mod and full sized knives. It’s the perfect fifth pocket edc knife. Take it from a guy with large hands (I’m 6’3” and 220 lbs) this knife is sharp and cuts perfectly while fitting even my big hands.

These little knives are awesome! They flick out easy, close easy, great choil, and jimping! Because of the choil and jimping you can get an amazing grip/handle on the thing even with it being a little guy. They open and close so smoothly I find myself fidgeting with it quite a bit. Its super slicey, glides through tape, paper, cardboard, wires all with ease! It definitely became one of my favorite knives I own, so much so I bought 2 more the blue/black and the all black. The all black is now my daily carry for work. The red/ivory one is absolutely beautiful and I want to keep it that way so that one will only come out on special occasions. But I'm a bit of a knife snob and like to keep a few safe queens. Plus to top it off you can rest assured your money is going to a good company ran by a knife enthusiast who's a HUGE part of the knife community and who makes quality knives with quality materials! I recommended it to a few friends and family when I first got it and I definitely recommend it to anyone reading this!

I love the size of this knife. I love that the handle is wood, however, because it's wood it does have flaws. The first one I bought, the wood had cracked at the screw so I returned it. The second one was unblemished. Great little knife!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I really like the colors of this knife. They remind me of a billiards table. It feels solid, opens smoothly, with a nice click locking the blade open. A very comfortable handle makes for a lovely little knife.

I saw this and got it just for the literal curiosity of how well the steel could actually be for the rediculous reasonable price. Its decently cheap for anything on the market with carbon/decent steel. Did as much research as i could to find the recipe, but i believe i saw that it IS a secret sauce steel recipie they (WEKNIFE) IS working VERY hard to keep secret. I can very much see why because, for ever and for true, this has been the most durable "cheap damascus" I have ever had in my hand. I've been using it to break down boxes at work for the last week. And it's cutting like a champ. Holding the edge very similar to the9cr18mov/440c referenced when i researched online for any mentioned recipe. The steel is absolutely not up to the level of like a s35vn or any premium i think, but by far the best ive ever used in a damascus form this price. That being said, I'm a knife guy, stropping/maintaining my knives Almost 2 to 4 times a week. So this is a steel that if you have heavy use, will need solid maintenance and sharpening like any mid-level knife steel. However, if you are gonna do what i'm deciding to do now, it will hold an edge much longer. I decided to upgrade it with some flytanium black ti scales cus i had a hunch....folks i gotta be real.... I gotta tell you. This has become the best personal metal fidget toy EVER. After getting that weight in the scales, it just flips and clicks just as good as any crazy high quality fidget pocket "trash" as edc heads will start to say, me included lol. Don't be afraid, get you one of these and enjoy it. For the ridiculous, cheap price it is Absolutely the perfect gift for a knife head in your family. Bling it out if you want cause the aftermarket scene is nuts.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Perfect size for EDC and I love the look
