The WE Knife Big Banter Thumb Stud Knife (WE21045-2), designed by Ben Petersen, is a larger, robust version of the popular Banter series, tailored for everyday carry (EDC) with a focus on durability and functionality. Its 3.69-inch drop point blade, crafted from premium CPM 20CV stainless steel with a gray stonewashed finish, offers exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness, making it ideal for demanding tasks like cutting rope, preparing food, or outdoor activities. With a hardness of 59-61 HRC, the blade deploys smoothly via dual blue titanium thumb studs with caged ceramic ball bearings and is secured by a nested liner lock with a jimped interface for reliable, safe operation.
The green canvas Micarta handle, paired with gray stainless steel liners, provides a textured, ergonomic grip that is lightweight, moisture-resistant, and durable, with a finger choil for precise control. Measuring 8.34 inches overall and weighing 4.10 ounces, it features a reversible deep-carry stainless steel pocket clip for right/left, tip-up carry, a large lanyard hole for 550 paracord, and a 90-degree blade spine for use as a ferro rod striker. Made in China, this knife is lauded for its sturdy build and larger size, earning a 5/5 rating from reviews on knifecenter.com and truetalon.com, making it a favorite for EDC users with larger hands or those needing a more substantial tool. 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!"
