CIVIVI Baby Banter 2 handle scales

In 2025, CIVIVI—the value-driven sister brand of WE Knife—released the Baby Banter 2 (models like C23074 series) in January 2025, with global availability starting January 16, 2025. Designed once again by knife creator and YouTuber Ben Petersen (Ben Banters), it served as the upgraded successor to the beloved Baby Banter (2021), addressing user feedback for improved ergonomics and modern features

The CIVIVI Baby Banter 2 retains the compact 2.34-inch blade but upgrades to a secure crossbar lock (instead of liner lock), thumb-stud deployment (with titanium accents in some variants), and a larger finger choil for better control. Blade steel includes Nitro-V or 14C28N for excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening. Handle options feature textured aluminum, milled G10, or canvas Micarta for enhanced grip and premium feel, weighing ~2–2.5 oz with deep-carry clip

Variants like the Baby Banter 2 TG ("Touch Grass") edition added milled G10 scales and a clip-point blade, emphasizing outdoor usability while staying true to the minimalist, "boring but perfect" EDC ethos. Praised for smooth action, refined fit/finish, and value (~$80 MSRP), the Baby Banter 2 quickly became a top pick in small EDC knives, building on the Banter family's legacy of simplicity, reliability, and community-driven innovation
