[@erhon5]

I definitely agree with the toy look. When I got it my first thought was it looks almost cartoony but that’s ok I like the way it looks. It feels simple yet different enough to make it an interesting knife. Not to mention that blue is one of the best blue g10s I have seen.

Now there'll be a Knife Banter on the Banter Knife.

Clicked for the song. Was not disappointed.

[@CultMechanicus]

I'm delighted I found this channel.

[@maysdogus]

Some good points Pete. To me it’s a knife for someone who understands the value of an edc knife but doesn’t care what it looks like or have any interest in owning more than one. It’s a snooze fest for me, but good for him for designing a knife.

Dear Mr. Uncle Randy, Ben Petersen has created a knife more boring, yet more useful and practical than the Buck 110. Don't die (again!)

[@jonr1510]

Only complaint I have is the thumb stud position for sharpening. I hit them a few times while sharpening. A wire clip would have been nice too but other than that I'm pretty happy with it

the kickstarter commercial is perfect.

[@profesorEDC]

Great vid Pete❗It's so good to have your vids back into our blade diet, the perfect balance. Don't just disappear Pete. 👍😊🍀

[@ninjesus4079]

I see a lot of comments complaining about its "boring" look. Funny because this is precisely its simplicity and no bullshit esthetic that lured me to it. Have fun with your "over the top" edc to all John Rambo/Jason Statham wannabes

[@johnbowen5336]

Countersunk screws holding the pocket clip on?! Will wonders never cease?! I thought only great knife companies like CRKT and Gerber were capable of doing that!

[@njo9966]

You are a bizarre human and I thank you for it

[@davidferguson1378]

It's a beautiful kinda simplicity.

[@NoName-en9jp]

Since I seen it I always liked the its design, blade shape, simplicity, but couldn't cheat on my everyday carry (Cold Steel Code 4), cause I'm not a knife hoarder, and don't like when stuff ends up on "sheeelf", especially something 100$+, being a Eastern Europoor. But I'd tip my toes into buying new Civivi Baby Banter, it follows the similar design philosophy, it is made by little sister company (Civivi, guaranteed good build), and it would fill a role. I recon it will be a great success for Ben and WE saleswise.

[@codys5727]

Ben is a super nice guy. That being said the knife is not worth its price tag and is lackluster in design. I wish him the best and hope he has more success in the future but can't pretend this knife is better than it is just because he's a good dude

[@Gojiussy]

It honestly just looks like thicc elementum , solid design th

[@CNYKnifeNerd]

The price seems fine to me, sure theres a ridiculous amount of better values at that price point, but that doesnt necessarily mean this isnt fairly priced, in my opinion. The problem, to me, is that It looks like something made by the james brand, or like it would be the feature of one of those kickstarter campaigns that Pete so justifiably derided in his last video. Im sure its a fine knife, but with all the value available in the current market, fine isnt good enough.

[@Dustysa4]

Reminds me of a $50 Civivi knife. I briefly considered buying one until I came to that conclusion.

[@WillEDC]

I think a lot of people get it to support him because he’s a really likable guy. If he did an axis lock version I’d be down

[@stalememe6407]

its a 100$ knife with g10,s35vn and very good build quality. Whats not worth about this?

[@ericpewpew_rn5294]

I have the all black version and, love it. I generally like a bigger knife but, this knife fits well in the hand.

[@LarsRibe]

16 bit knife 🙂 Not for me, but living in Denmark, I see the benefits of a good absolutely harmless looking knife. (Now I feel like carrying something from Cold Steel)

[@nathandrushinin1072]

Ah, glad I stuck around for the full music video. Maybe Ben’s next knife could be called the “WE Dubstep”! 🤣

[@zachstuff]

Groovy review!!! Bonus points for the kick starter!

[@danemiles2285]

[@dieseldabz7104]

The Banter is on top of my list of knives too add to the collection asap. I apparently missed the boat on the 1st batch and my son was highly disappointed as he had wanted a black one for his birthday. Fingers crossed the 2nd run lasts a bit longer and I can snatch one for him, maybe even one myself and I'm not picky on the color as long as I get one. Definitely a well designed yet very simple knife and should expect nothing less from We Knives..

[@ibanez7412]

Hope you got yours, I just received my black version with bleu thumbstuds today...love it!

it's been 3 years and the WE Banter needs better access to the liner lock!!!

[@chrisjaskulski8613]

I have no idea why, but I always thought "spear point" classification took into account the swege or flat running to the tip in the interest of providing reinforcment... but in a world where "reverse tanto" is a thing, who the hell knows?

$110 is not bad compared to the Bugout. It’s got better scale material and better blade steel.

Not to critique the design, but it doesn’t blow my skirt up

[@douglassteltenkamp]

pocket clip . Right away this is the type of clip that catches on everything . plus scatches the fukk out of your cars paint job. Cold steel started doing replaceable plastic clips . Good on them they rock.

[@BradGryphonn]

EDIT: 13:50 Yep, I missed something...The perils of commenting before watching all of the video... Original: Okay, it's been eating at me and I feel I've missed something. But then when you discussed your theory on the influences for this knife just before 7:45, you didn't mention the almost identical profiles of the knife and the knife on the poster behind you... The only thing difference is the drawing appears to have a fuller (for explanation purposes I assume). mmmmm...what is this trickery?

[@zacharydeshazo3121]

3 thumbs up...

[@dimi7055]

hmm i dont get what is so special about this. its a block of g10 with a decent blade that happens to have a deep carry pocket clip. For some reason people seems to go nuts over square blocky unfinished g10 knives all the time! i sure dont, i got the spyderco bombshell a week ago and that thing is day and night difference in ergo's and finish, its rounded perfectly, smooth g10, no deep carry clip while also having a deep hollow ground blade and a perfect recurve into belly blade. if i need to compare these 2 knives to eachother its not even close.. this thing is a WE made para 3 (g10 version). If i think about the lazy way of making knives it would be cutting out 2 squares of g10, barely finishing them and putting them together with some standoffs.

[@stwida91]

Did you just fucking say Torx 6 on the PIVOT screw? EH??? Dafuq?

[@Rime0ne]

Even though it does resemble the Dosier I somehow don't like the way the Dosier looks but love the way the Banter looks. It's got a very clean look with well defined lines. Also the blade is more broad. Im hoping for a large version. Also I wish they'd sell the black blade version with a Ben blue handle. Frankie and Bird swapped out the blades and it looked awesome.

[@haakonr1]

Everyone is probably a little biased because of Ben, but maybe that’s part of his plan. I really like the concept of a well made, well thought out, boring knife. But not everyone is ready for that, and maybe it takes someone like Ben to sell it to the world.

[@JohnC29]

[@user-wr6wo6vr8r]

I think this knife was overhyped, it’s good for the price but it’s too “simple “ For my liking.

[@dieseldabz7104]

Like the Benchmade Bugout..

[@user-wr6wo6vr8r]

DieselDabz710 I actually like the bugout, super lightweight, decent size, perfect pocket clip, nice scales with sufficient grip, thin blade stock. The Benchmade bugout is the best knife ever imo I own every variation

[@krazykat64]

DieselDabz710 Agree. I love the Bugout, but much like the Banter a lot of it’s appeal is that everything about it is just so neutral.

I watched this entire video knowing 100% I will NEVER buy that knife.. I like Ben, and want him to be successful , but the knife is not my cup of tea.. I love your reviews, keep it up( minus that ending, you're gonna give someone a seizure..🤪 )

[@JohnDoe-df2zz]

Nice review that appears completely honest. That knife has all the ingredients of a good knife, in a very vanilla package. G10, S35VN, liner lock, deep pocket clip. Very boxy, uninspired design with a classic blade shape. Not a bad knife by any means, but not for me. I like my knives like I like my women- a bit more curvy and dangerous. Thanks for the review (except for the "music" at the end, that was horrid).

[@MightyRude]

I’m a little bit disappointed in the video I actually thought you were going to talk about the generals

[@The_AntiVillain]

most likely xenophobia, racism and misaligned patriotism (insert gif of they too or jrobs)

[@tacticalcenter8658]

Anti communist. Most people don't dislike people of China.... I mean unless they steal your designs... But if your asking the question, you have no idea of the atrocities the communist government of China have been involved in.

[@UsernameInvalidTHIS]

Butthurt because their "hybrid" economic system seems to do all the things neoliberal capitalism promised/claimed before/while making our lives miserable (e.g. poverty reduction). Daily reminder that the Chinese capitalist roaders Mao would have driven out still have more humanity than the shameless bourgeois ghouls running the US.

[@deathbyastonishment7930]

Well, your indirectly sponsoring human rights abuse when you buy anything Chinese because it all supports the government when industry is nationalised.

It looks like the 2002 Honda Civic of knives. Completely souless utilitarianism. A shitty Chinese box cutter is on par with the Banter.
