THE KNIFE
The has been a staple for years now, and designer Ben Petersen alongside WE. felt it was time to try something new with the design. This Wharncliffe version of the Banter features the same great S35VN blade steel, but now with a flat edge and extra pointy tip. It will take your scraping and box opening tasks to the next level!
On the handle, this knife features a sculpted black burlap micarta scale. Accompanied by the gold accents in the thumb stud and pivot, this Banter has a great black & gold motif that can pass as tough, or charming...?
Not compatible with aftermarket scales.
The Micarta Banter is different from the G10 model because it has a steel liner supporting the front scale. This is critical because micarta can't be structural like G10 can.
