Civivi Baby Banter Cuibourtia Wood Ben Petersen Design Cuibourtia wood handle scales Drop Point blade Black Stonewashed blade finish NitroV steel The Banter from WE Knife has quickly established itself as one of the best EDC pocket knives around. No wonder: this Ben Peterson design (Knafs, ex-Blade HQ) is so handy and functional that it simply works well in everyday life. The Baby Banter is not only slightly smaller, but also uses a different steel. But first things first: there's the slightly different handle, which offers enough room for all 4 fingers thanks to a small finger recess at the base of the blade. Thanks to the universal shape, the Baby Banter is perfectly suitable for small to medium-sized hands. Only with very large hands you might better reach for the WE Knife Banter. Thanks to the finger choil, you can reach very close to the cutting edge and thus put a lot of force into the cutting movement (for example, when carving). The blade steel used here is Nitro-V stainless steel, which has been given a blackwash finish. This nitrogen-alloyed steel is very resistant and offers versatile possibilities in use. Should the cutting edge ever become blunt, it can be quickly resharpened. A smooth blade action is provided by the built-in ball bearings, so that the Baby Banter also has a certain amount of fun. The whole thing is rounded off by a convertible deep-carry pocket clip that allows your Baby Banter to disappear discreetly in your pocket.
WE Knife Banter Cuibourtia wood Ben Peterson design Handle made of Cuibourtia wood Blade made of CPM S35VN Black stonewashed blade finish Whaaat iiiiiiis up guys? If you are interested in knives, you can't avoid him: for a long time, Ben Peterson from Blade HQ was a real institution on Youtube. His videos were not just product presentations, but had a completely unique and entertaining style. After his end at Blade HQ, it was a short while style around Ben. However, he was not idle. Together with WE Knife, he developed a pocket knife that is absolutely tailored to Ben's needs and comes with a few clever features. Here comes the Banter. First, there's the size: perhaps you remember Ben's requirement that a knife be no longer than his outstretched index finger? To test this, Ben likes to put his finger out the back of the blade and see if he can reach the tip. Thanks to its unexciting, universal contour, the handle made of wood is very comfortable in the hand and can be used in a variety of positions. In the back, you'll find a lanyard hole through which you can thread a 550 paracord as a safety strap, for example. While the showside is made of a pure g10 scale, the opposite scale has a liner made of black steel, which also provides the super secure linerlock. The blade is a very universally shaped Spearpoint blade (comes with a blackwash finish in this version) that has been given a large hollow grind. The genius here is that WE Knife have chosen such a thin grind that the Banter is an incredible cutting machine. The S35VN blade just flies through the cut material and is up to all cutting tasks in EDC. Ceramic ball bearings provide a smooth opening of the blade, giving the Banter a certain playfulness. Together with the black deep-carry clip, which allows the knife to disappear discreetly in your pocket, you get with the WE Knife Banter an impressively versatile EDC pocket knife that turns out to be an excellent companion in everyday life.
Urban EDC Gnat-S XL Justin Koch Design M390 steel blade with hollow grind Integrated bottle opener in the blade tang with lanyard loop non lockable & with double detent Variants: green Micarta handle & stonewashed blade finish. orange G10 handle & black DLC coated blade purple anodized Aluminum handle & satin blade finish Small but mighty! The Gnat-S XL is a typical Justin Koch design. Simply different! The compact handle of the Gnat-S XL offers you space for two to three fingers (depending on the size of your hand). Embedded in the handle scales (choice of Micarta, orange G10 or Purple Aluminum) are two liners that press down on the blade root with two locking springs and snap tightly into place when closed or open. This creates enough retention force for the blade to be held but not locked, so the knife is 42a compliant. The star of the show is clearly the hollow ground blade made of M390 steel: the thin tapered edge provides a lot of cutting pleasure. When closed, you will find a small hook under the lever at the root of the blade: so the Gnat-S XL can also be used as a cap lifter for an after-work beer.
Urban EDC Rekluse-S Production collaboration with Justin Koch Slipjoint for everyday wear Ultra compact and lightweight S35VN trail blade available in: classic brown Micarta elegant OD-green aluminum ultra-modern jade-colored G10 (with black PVD-coated blade) Urban EDC companion Tight backspring? Check Micarta ? Check Super versatile blade ? Check Something different? Check Cool designer? Check The Rekluse S brings more factors under one hat than you might think at first. This Justin Koch design not only looks extravagant (like all Koch designs) but is also a super versatile companion. This slipjoint is a real workhorse that you can carry with you without hesitation, thanks to the pocket clip. The star of the show is, of course, the compound grind of the blade: while the rear portion has been kept extra sturdy, the front two-thirds have been deliberately ground thinner to create a really nasty point. Your thumb fits comfortably on the thumb ramp, so you can work with your Rekluse S very safely. For the handle scales you have the choice between Micarta, G10 and aluminum.

Urban EDC Copita Jesper Voxnaes design compact flipper M390 blade available in brown micarta green Micarta titanium black PVD titanium The Copita is a Framelock flipper, but it was designed specifically for use in an urban environment. The knife may be really compact - but that does not detract from its use. Thanks to the elegantly curved belly of the blade, you still have a maximum of cutting power on only 5.7cm blade length. Otherwise, the Copita is a typical Voxnaes design: despite the overall somewhat squat shape, this little rattle radiates that typical elegance that is typical of Jesper's designs. A real highlight are the decorations of the screw collars: here was worked with great attention to detail. In total you have the choice between three different variants: - Micarta Natural/ Satin Finish blade- Green Micarta/ Stonewash blade- Titanium handle scales/ Satin Finish blade The frame side is milled out of titanium on all four versions. Of course the Copita comes with all the features that such a flipper must have: Ball bearings, M390 steel, steel insert, optically matching backspacers and a super modern design.

Our tip: In our blog post Everyday Carry, you’ll find everything you need to know about this exciting topic and the many benefits your own EDC kit can offer.
Versatile everyday use
An EDC knife can be useful in a variety of situations. Whether you need it to open packages, cut ropes, or find your way during an outdoor trip – the possibilities are virtually limitless. Especially in emergency situations, a good everyday carry knife can provide valuable service. For hobby craftsmen or outdoor enthusiasts, such a knife is indispensable. Here are some examples of where your EDC knife can be used:
- Everyday tasks: Whether opening letters, cutting packages, or making small repairs – your EDC knife quickly becomes a reliable everyday helper.
- Outdoor activities: When hiking or camping, an everyday carry knife is indispensable. It’s ideal for preparing food, cutting ropes, or starting a campfire.
- Crafting tasks: Whether at home or on the go, an EDC knife is practical for small crafting jobs. It always provides the support you need when precision is required.

Key features of EDC knives
When buying an EDC knife, you should consider certain features to find the perfect knife for your needs. In addition to the materials used and the blade length, the design also plays a major role. Many models are equipped with ergonomic handles that ensure safe and comfortable handling. Another aspect to consider when buying is the weight of the knife. A knife that is too heavy can be impractical, while a model that is too light might not provide enough stability.
Additionally, the size of the knife and the type of blade lock are important. If you have large hands, a knife with a bulkier handle may provide better handling. For pocket knives, the type of lock is crucial – for example, a framelock offers more stability than a slipjoint pocket knife.
Our tip: Pocket knives are also well-suited for everyday use and provide great assistance in many situations. In our shop, we offer a wide range of pocket knives in various designs from different manufacturers.
Things to consider
When choosing your EDC knife, you should be aware of the carrying restrictions in Germany. According to the Weapons Act (WaffG) § 42a, there is a prohibition on carrying certain items. This includes, among other things, knives with lockable blades that can be operated with one hand or fixed knives with a blade length over 12 cm. We have summarized all the information on the topic "What does §42a-compliant mean" on our website.
