I had posted on a FFF (Front Flipper Friday) that one of my go-to office carry knives was the CJRB Malieah. A great 5th pocket carry that is not worrisome to non-knife people and fits within the 2.5" blade length limit of the city where the company office resides.
I think the CJRB has been replace by the Civivi Baby Banter. At least, it seems to have been for the past 6 ot 7 visits.
The Baby Banter is even less worrisome to non-knife folks (some have said it is “cute” which I’m sure it bristles at).
The knife is my go-to for food slicing at work and (once cleaned) boxes, tape, or as in today: velcro cable straps so I could jerry-rigg a second wireless lavaliere mic receiver to a small video camera.
It’s small and unassuming but has performed really well. If you’re looking for a knife with those properties on the budget side, I highly recommend it.

Re: Bringing your knife to the office.
It never ceases to amaze me how fast it goes from:
- You carry that thing around with you???
- Do you have your knife?
- Can I borrow your knife?

So about that.
I briefly worked at an auto parts store years and years ago, and one of those inevitable things happened where my boss asked me to borrow my knife. Not thinking, I handed him my Junkyard Dog. This motherfucker proceeded to use it to saw the end off of a cardboard tube of cupronickel brake line. And in the process, sliced off about a 1/8" of the end of a brake line. With my knife.
To its credit, the Junkyard Dog barely flinched and you had to look with magnification to see what he did to the edge. I fixed it easily enough. But I also didn’t lend him any of my nice knives again, either.
This is the truth!
No pics of it closed??
That pocket clip is incredible. The thought put into making the attachment point flush with the scales is a beautiful thing.
Great post.
I had one of it closed but it was crap so I didn’t post it. I took these at work rather quickly (hence the yellow note pad) and didn’t want to risk someone walking by and seeing me and then immediately call HR. 😆
Easy way to get a reputation at work: photoshoot of knives at your desk! 😂
I’m a big fan of this knife, and I might just have to treat myself for Xmas…
Not in the office today so different background and fairly direct lighting.
Beautiful. My only wish is that there would be a smooth filler piece for the reversible clip divot. But that’s just me being picky.
Thanks
