Viper Rhino1 Carbon Fiber
New version of the Rhino with steel upgrade and new blade grindFabrizio Silvestrelli design Very large and sturdy knife with a backlock Elmax steel blade with stonewashed finishBruno Brutalo!
This grace....these almost fragile lines....oh, whoops....wrong knife.
The Rhino1 is about the gnarliest breaker we've had in our hands in a long time. What a piece! Here are some hard facts: 25.3cm total length. 250gr (that's a quarter kilo!!!). 4mm Elmax steel. A backlock, with an ultra-slick "CLACK". A compound grind, which together with the pronounced "horn" at the front of the tip, already looks very striking. Clearly, the Rhino1 is NOT an ultra-versatile, lightweight EDC knife. Here comes something for lovers of the very heavy fraction! This knife is available with handles made of micarta, carbonfiber or santo wood.

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.

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.

Variants:

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.

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.

Small update
WE Knife's Banter 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.
Now Ben has gone one better and brought out an even more compact version of the knife in collaboration with Civivi. The Baby Banter is not only a little smaller, but also uses a different steel. But first things first: there is the slightly modified handle, which offers enough space 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). Like its big brother, the Banter is equipped with handle scales made of robust G10.
The blade steel used here is stainless Nitro-V 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 even the Baby Banter can have some fun. The whole thing is rounded off by a convertible deep-carry pocket clip, which makes your Baby Banter discreetly disappear in your pocket.

Bigger! Better! Banter!
Here it is - the big version of the WE Knife Banter.
If you're interested in knives, you can't get around him: for a long time, Ben Peterson from Blade HQ was a true 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 the Banter, a pocket knife that is absolutely tailored to Ben's needs and comes with a few clever features.
Firstly, 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. Nevertheless, there are of course users who simply like a slightly larger knife. Therefore, with the Big Banter, the same design is available in a large version. The handle made of G10 is very comfortable in the hand thanks to its unexciting, universal contour and can be used in a variety of positions. In the back you will find a lanyard hole, through which you can thread, for example, a 550 paracord as a lanyard. While the show side is made of a G10 or Micarta shell with an embedded liner, the opposite scale has a steel liner, which also provides a super secure liner lock.
The genius here is that WE Knife have chosen such a thin grind that the Banter is an incredible cutting devil. The CPM 20CV blade just flies through the cut material and is up to everyday cutting tasks in EDC. Ceramic ball bearings provide a smooth opening of the blade, which gives the Banter a certain playfulness.
Together with the 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.
