CIVIVI Baby Banter Ivoryl G10 knife, Red Painted Nitro-V by Ben Petersen (C19068S-7)
Baby Banter Ivory G10, Red Painted, smaller and lighter than the full-size Banter EDC folder , designed by the American traveler and knifemaker Ben Petersen. It features many of the same thoughtful design elements as the full-size original Banter, but fits in smaller pockets, weighs less and is much cheaper.
Civivi - a sub-brand of WE Knife, a company producing knives of the highest, world-class quality. Production takes place on the same production lines as WE, thanks to which the highest standard of assembly is maintained.
Nitro-V stainless steel martensitic chromium-based knife steel introduced by New Jersey Steel Baron ( NJSB ) . The manufacturer used existing excellent AEB-L knife steel and refined it with nitrogen and vanadium to improve edge performance and achieve high hardness and extreme corrosion resistance, especially crucial in the marine industry and humid environments. Nitro V can be used in diving knives due to its resistance to staining and corrosion. The recommended working hardness is in the range of 58-62HRC, and compared to other steels, it has very good impact strength. It is harder than stainless steel powder steels such as M390, Elmax and S35VN. Therefore, Nitro-V will be a good fit for knives that require good durability.
Blade - Drop Point type with a clearly marked belly in Red Painted. The small thickness of the blade combined with a high, flat grind gives excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting efficiency. Ceramic ball bearings support the smooth and smooth operation of the blade extension mechanism, which can be opened using double-sided Thumb Stud pins made of solid 6AL4V titanium. Finger choil, a cut for the index finger between the handle and the cutting edge and upper jimping, a notched part of the back of the blade under the thumb make it easier to control the knife. Nested Liner-Lock, a modification of the liner-lock, which involves nesting the liner of the locking mechanism in the lining.
Handle - knurled pieces of ivory-colored G10 material. The so-called open structure open-backed, attached to each other with steel spacer sleeves , reduces weight and facilitates cleaning. The pivot axis is decorated with a stylized Civivi brand logo . The two-position left/right deep carry metal clip allows you to carry the knife discreetly in your pocket in the tip-up position (with the tip of the blade up). There is a lanyard hole on the back of the handle , a hole for a rope.
Case - the knife is packed in a zippered soft nylon case with the manufacturer's logo for safe storage and transport of the folder.
