Oh yeah. They nailed this one. The best part is that while it is smaller and under the Civivi brand, it doesn't feel like a lesser quality knife than the WE Banter. If you live in a place with a tyrannical 2.5-inch blade limit, or just want a smaller knife, this one is a no-brainer.

I cut through a 3-layer clamshell package with my Baby Banter last week. It was surprisingly smooth and easy. I did not even realize there were 3 layers till I started removing the pieces after cutting. It is also a very easy carry, 5th pocket or main. The weight is negligible, and the full "forward choil" is my favorite blade design feature for safety and precision.

I totally need to pick up one or two. My normal edcs are a swiss army cadet or a Spyderco lil native. I think this would be a great alternative in the mix. Glad they added a little relief for the liner access. Size looks perfect for those of us with 2.5" limits at work...

That's great to see Civivi cut away for liner lock access on this one. My biggest complaint with their knives is liner-lock access. Like the Drifter II has zero cutout, so you really have to jam your thumb in there to disengage the lock.

Sometimes I just carry 2 knives. A small knife in my coin pocket and a full size either in my main right pocket or a back pocket. I've got a blue baby banter and am loving it. Detent is great, sharp as hell, 1st nitro V blade but its performing well so far.

@JustKnifeThings 2 жыл бұрын

I'm with you on not actually needing much blade in my casual EDC use, but once they're below a certain size, they just become awkward to manipulate. So I wind up carrying more blade than I need just because of the overall size needs. Also your choil catch in the paper is why I wish forward choils would disappear when not needed. When you're not using them on a cut, especially on a small knife like this or Tuff Lite or whatever, they get caught easily.

Forward choil?Did you just made up that term? :) :) I heard people use terms like "sharpening choil" and "finger choil", and IMHO those terms are wrong, "sharpening notch" and "finger groove behind a choil/heel, under ricasso" are maybe more precise. Choil is choil, groove is groove :) Please someone correct me if I`m wrong, english is not my first language. Nice colors on that Civivi. Love your videos, best regards from Croatia.
