Weknife Banter 2 WE23075-1 Folding Knife
Weknife Banter 2 is an improved version of the iconic model, created in collaboration with renowned knife designer Ben Petersen. This folding knife from the Weknife brand combines premium material quality, refined design, and versatility for everyday carry (EDC) and hiking.
The model's design is understated but features a bright accent detail in the form of a colored anodized handle. The versatile Drop Point blade with a satin finish is suitable for a wide range of tasks — from cutting to piercing. The spine features a convenient finger rest, which enhances control over the blade during precise operations.
Key materials and components are implemented at a high technological level: the blade is made of CPM S35VN powdered stainless steel with a hardness of 59–61 HRC, ensuring long-lasting sharpness retention and metal structure stability. The handle is made of anodized aluminum — lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and comfortable to grip. Thanks to its successful design, the knife's total weight is only 86.7 g.
Opening and Locking Mechanism
The blade opens with a two-sided titanium thumb stud (6AL4V), allowing for quick blade deployment with a single press. Ceramic bearings are used in the pivot for ultra-smooth and fast blade action. A reliable Crossbar Lock system with a spring-loaded lock on both sides is used for fixation — a practical option for daily use without needing to change grip.
Additional Elements
The clip is made of stainless steel and adorned with an engraving of the model name. The tail end features a through-hole for a lanyard, allowing for customization and convenient carrying.
