WE Bougie Banter — Upscale Art Deco Gray Titanium
The WE Bougie Banter is an upscale evolution of Ben Petersen's classic Banter — where the original used G10, this version elevates the design with a two-tone titanium handle. This variant carries a modified drop-point CPM S45VN blade in a gray stonewash finish.
The thumb-stud opening rides on a caged ceramic ball-bearing pivot, secured by an easy one-handed crossbar lock borrowed from the Banter 2. CPM S45VN is a premium powder-metallurgy stainless steel offering an excellent balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance.
