The WE Knife Banter, originally designed in collaboration with Ben Petersen, has been a staple of the brand's lineup. The Banter XL retains the clean, minimalist design language of the original but scales everything up: a 3.5-inch S35VN blade (up from 3.0), a full-sized handle with G-10 scales, and a larger but still pocket-friendly profile.
The front flipper and thumb stud deployment options are retained, and the liner lock has been beefed up for the larger blade. A deep-carry pocket clip completes the package.
Priced at $149.99, the Banter XL offers familiar quality in a more substantial package for those who wanted a bigger Banter.
