WE Knife Banter Thumb Stud G10 Handle Folding Knife - Black Stonewash

Folding knife EDC (Every-Day-Carry), crafted by acclaimed knifemaker Ben Petersen.

The blade features double fuller grooves and a Spear-Point profile, forged from premium S35VN stainless steel (the improved successor to S30V), manufactured using powder metallurgy. This steel boasts excellent corrosion resistance, is simpler to sharpen than S30V, and, due to its finer grain structure, provides even better resistance to chipping. The blade has been heat-treated to 58-60 HRC for optimal hardness. The blade is ground flat (Flat), and finished with a black stonewash, producing a subtle black, semi-matte appearance.

Blade deployment is manual, utilizing a user-friendly, ambidextrous thumb stud. The knife also incorporates ball bearings for exceptionally smooth blade action. Secure lockup is provided through a Liner Lock system.

The handle is constructed from lightweight, glass-epoxy G10 laminate and features steel locking elements. Ergonomic shaping, combined with an anti-slip texture, guarantees a reliable grip. A flexible titanium pocket clip ensures easy carry (tip-up/r). The handle is adorned with the distinctive manufacturer’s logo. All auxiliary hardware is made from titanium, delivering additional durability and resistance against wear and challenging weather. At the tail end of the handle, a lanyard hole allows for the attachment of a cord to minimize loss risk.
