Civivi Baby Banter 2 C23074-1 Folding Knife — Overview and Features
Brand: Civivi. Model: Baby Banter 2 C23074-1. This compact folding knife is designed for EDC enthusiasts who value quality, ergonomics, and style. The knife's design was developed by renowned knife designer Ben Petersen, ensuring a well-balanced form and convenience in daily use.
The Baby Banter 2 stands out with its miniature size: the full length of the knife when open is 140.7 mm, with a blade length of 59.4 mm and a spine thickness of 2.3 mm. The handle, 81.3 mm long and 11.3 mm thick, provides a secure grip; the total weight of the knife is 65.7 g, making it light and unnoticeable in a pocket.
The blade features a Drop Point profile with a satin finish and a plain edge — ideal for precise cutting, slicing, and piercing. The blade steel is premium Nitro-V alloy; the manufacturer's text mentions hardening to 59–61 HRC, while the specifications list a hardness of 58–60 HRC. Nitro-V steel is known for its increased cutting edge strength and anti-corrosion properties.
For smooth blade action, ceramic bearings are used in the pivot assembly, and opening is facilitated by a titanium 6AL4V ambidextrous thumb stud. The blade is secured by a Crossbar Lock mechanism with through-cuts on both sides of the handle, allowing for convenient unlocking with both the right and left hand.
The handle is made of aluminum with a ribbed surface for better grip and stability during work; the aluminum construction does not rust and requires no complex maintenance. The knife is equipped with a two-position steel pocket clip for Tip-Up carry and a lanyard hole.
