The WE Knife Banter Thumb Stud Knife (2004J), designed by Ben Petersen, is a compact, high-performance folding knife optimized for everyday carry (EDC). Its 2.9-inch drop point blade, crafted from CPM S35VN stainless steel with a black stonewashed finish, offers excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and durability, ideal for tasks like opening packages, cutting rope, or outdoor activities. With a hardness of 58-60 HRC, the blade deploys smoothly via dual titanium thumb studs with caged ceramic ball bearings and is secured by a nested liner lock for reliable, safe operation.
The green Micarta handle, paired with black stainless steel liners, provides a textured, ergonomic grip that is lightweight, durable, and resistant to moisture, with a steel liner supporting the front scale for added structural integrity compared to earlier unreleased Micarta versions. Measuring 6.52 inches overall and weighing 2.91 ounces, it features a reversible deep-carry stainless steel pocket clip for right/left, tip-up carry and a lanyard hole. Made in China, this knife is praised for its smooth action and robust design, earning a 5/5 rating from a review on truetalon.com, making it a top choice for EDC users and collectors. Available at Timber Knives’ retail and online Shopify store.

★★★★★Weston S."Fantastic shop! Very helpful and has a good variety of Knives, Axes, and Accessories. They were able to reshape one my old knives that I’ve had for about ten years. The tip broke off a couple years ago by another person that used it. Now the knife looks like it had never happened. Definitely will be back for a new fixed blade when it gets closer to hunting season!"
