Folding knife Weknife Banter 2004K

Description of the Weknife Banter 2004K folding knife:

Since its release in 2020, the Banter 2004 pocket knife line has become legendary, winning the hearts of knife enthusiasts with a practical design that is unlike any other tool in its size. These knives, including the Banter 2004K, are the brainchild of knifemaker Ben Petersen. His goal was to create a functional everyday tool that embodied the best qualities of EDC knives, but boasted a unique design. In collaboration with We Knife, Petersen managed to make his dream a reality, and knife lovers received a truly durable tool that cuts as well as it looks.

The Banter 2004K design is distinguished by its miniature dimensions. Its total length is 165.6 mm, of which 73.7 mm is the blade. In the folded position, the length of the knife is reduced to 91.9 mm, making it easier to carry in a pocket, which is also facilitated by its light weight, equal to 81.8 grams, and a tight two-position clip.

American CPM S35VN steel, used in the production of the leaf-shaped blade, belongs to the premium class metals. The brand has an ideal balance between strength, corrosion resistance and ease of processing. The steel owes these characteristics to a balanced composition, which includes niobium, which makes the straight blade practically invulnerable to chipping under extreme loads. The blade has a black coating and is processed by the tumbling method.

The design is opened manually by pressing on a double-sided 6AL4V titanium pin. A nested liner lock firmly fixes the blade after opening.

The handle material is natural giburtia wood, which does not absorb moisture or odors. The handle thickness is 11.5 mm.
