The WE Knife Co. Big Banter Black is a bold, full-sized folder that brings premium materials and smart design into one sleek, rock-solid package. Designed for everyday carry but built to take on the toughest tasks, the Big Banter takes the beloved features of its smaller sibling and scales them up for those who prefer more blade, more grip, and more cutting power without compromise.
At the heart of this powerhouse is a 3.69-inch drop point blade made from CPM 20CV stainless steel—one of the most sought-after steels in modern knife-making. Known for its incredible edge retention, corrosion resistance, and overall toughness, CPM 20CV makes the Big Banter a serious performer in real-world situations. The black stonewash finish gives the blade a tactical edge while reducing glare and helping mask signs of use. Whether you're slicing, piercing, or making controlled cuts, this blade is ready to work.
The Big Banter opens smoothly and confidently thanks to its ambidextrous thumb studs paired with caged ceramic ball bearings. The action is crisp, fast, and satisfying, delivering the kind of opening experience that users expect from a high-end manual folder. The linerlock mechanism secures the blade solidly in place, offering peace of mind whether you’re tackling daily tasks or working through something tougher.
Closed, the knife measures 4.65 inches—compact enough to fit easily in your pocket, but with a handle that fills the hand and inspires confidence. The all-black G-10 handle is textured just right for a reliable, slip-free grip, with subtle ergonomic contouring that feels natural in hand. Black stainless steel liners reinforce the structure without adding unnecessary bulk, giving the knife excellent strength while keeping the profile slim and carry-friendly.
The tip-up pocket clip allows for discreet and secure daily carry, and the lanyard hole offers added flexibility for customization or alternative carry setups. At 4.36 ounces, the Big Banter hits the perfect balance—light enough for everyday use, heavy enough to feel substantial and dependable.
Whether you’re a gear enthusiast looking for a premium workhorse or just want a larger everyday folder that can handle a wider range of tasks, the Big Banter delivers. It’s a knife that feels right at home in any environment—urban, tactical, or outdoors—and it brings together everything WE Knife Co. is known for: innovation, quality, and refined performance.
