If you feel like supporting the channel and feeding my addiction: / spartanjohns As for this video: Filmed on 2022-12-12. This was so far the most surprising Civivi knife i have bought.
7:03 Diese Erfahrung musste ich auch machen........also das die Schärfe vom Nitro V nicht lange gehalten wurde, da hatte ich mehr erwartet. Ist aber nicht so wichtig....die Ergonomie finde ich super und das Design auch...ein tolles kleines Messer. 🙂 Beste Grüße, Stephan
Ich habe das Banter ein paar macl geschaerft und den schneide winkel reduziert. Im letzten test was es ok. allerdings es ist jetzt bei 13 dps...was ein bischen niedrig dafuer sein koennte. dennoch macht es sich super. dadurch das die klinge diesen hohlschliff hat und so duenn auslaeuft. ich werde warscheinlich noch mit den schneidewinkel rumspielen. und irgendwann noch ein video darueber machen...vieleicht frueher als erwartet :) VG Denis
These really are a nice budget friendly option for people who live in very strict knife law areas. I miss seeing your videos out in the woods, are you going to be going back to that setting any time soon?
I miss spending time in the woods, bushcrafting and just watching leaves fall... I don't think I'll make it out for bushcrafting purposes for the next 2 months at least. I still go outdoors but it is mainly hiking or on walks with my dog.
All the banters look like fine working tools, but their design is just too (intentionally, I know) dull for me. I got a TRM nerd, which I like in theory, but I never actually use it, it's just too small. My Spyderco Techno 2 is my favourite small knife, but of course also much more expensive. Thanks for the video!
The Techno 2 is in a different class. Better materials and yes, a more expensive package. I have only held one Techno in hand. That one had a pretty thick grind. It was probably the Techno 1 since it was about 2016 and the Techno 2 came out 2018 i think. The idea of carrying and using a small knife can be more appealing than actually carrying and using it. The Baby Banter feels really good in hand. I was a bit shocked. And it does have a thin grind. I reduced the edge angle to about 15 dps and the thickness behind that edge is about .4 mm. which is good. Because you said it now I do see how dull the design is...I never really thought about that. I don't mind at all...and whenever something is simple and dull...but works...i tend to gravitate towards it.
I have been playing around with it quite a lot. I like it. I removed the thumb stud and the pocket clip. carrying the knife like that and using it to cut was really nice. But for convenience i put them back on. I never had/held the Banter or the big banter. I am curious about the big banter...wanted to buy it but it was quickly out of stock. I think it was better this way....i'll wait a while and maybe i'll find one used for a better price
