Ben Petersen came into contact with the knife industry in 2011, supplementing his college education with a casual job making YouTube videos. The vortex of the knife world drew him in and he spent the next eight years working full-time in the industry for a knife retailer and manufacturer. He dealt with thousands of knives, recording more than 1,000 knife videos and producing knife marketing content for the entire industry. During his travels, Ben developed a particular preference for knives, such as blades under 3 inches and a fondness for blue Handle grips in simple designs. After years of advertising other people's knives, Ben created his first EC design called “Banter.” It is a thoughtful combination of all the features Ben loves in knives. When he's not working on knives, Ben spends most of his time backpacking, biking and exploring his home state of Utah with his wife and four children. And like him, they all like knives, too.

Civivi - a sub-brand of WE Knife, a company that makes knives of the highest global quality. Production takes place on the same production lines as WE, so the highest standard of assembly is maintained.

Nitro-V stainless chrome-based martensitic knife steel introduced by New Jersey Steel Baron(NJSB). The manufacturer used the existing superior AEB-L knife steel and upgraded 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 because of its resistance to staining and corrosion. The recommended working hardness is between 58-62HRC, and it has very good impact strength compared to other steels. It is harder than stainless powder steels such as M390, Elmax and S35VN. Therefore, Nitro-V will be a good fit for knives that require good strength.

Blade - Drop point with a well-defined belly finished with a scratch-masking bath of fine Stonewashed pebbles, followed by a gray coating. The small thickness of the blade, combined with a high, flat grind, gives excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. Finger choil, an undercut for the index finger between the Handle and the cutting edge, and an upper jimping notched section of the Blade's back for the thumb make it easier to control the knife.

Handle - covers made of G10, practically indestructible plastic, insensitive to weather conditions, resistant to chemicals and mechanical damage. The fastening pin is decorated with a stylized Civivi brand logo . On the back of the Handle lanyard hole , a hole for a rope, with an attached paracord pendant.

Sheath - made of kydex which, thanks to a kydex grommet mounted to it, we can hang on our belt. We can also wear the knife around the neck with the help of the attached chain.
