Is there a knife "like" the Baby Banter, but a little larger?
NOT the Banter!
I really like the BB, but a wee bit longer one would be better.
 
The Spyderco Lil Native is very similar in size to the Baby Banter but a tad larger. It also offers comparable ergonomics (4-finger grip, choil, etc). It's one of my favorite knives. I also love the Baby Banter.

Spyderco Dragonfly 2 is also another option, but I prefer the Lil Native over it.

The Kizer Yorkie is also a decent option. I mention the Yorkie only because they're currently 50% for Kizer's 10th Anniversary sale (expires in a couple days!). I'd normally never recommend it for $120+

So it took 3 negative pieces to get something useful, thank you for the suggestions. I'll take a look at the Yorkie.
Reg. BANTER -no choil.
Lockbacks - Not a recessed liner lock.
Yorkie - Haven't studied yet.....Thanks!

The Yorkies are on sale at Mojave Outdoor and the official Kizer website. I picked up an white/black one last week, took a great edge. Kizer has have some pretty good deals right now.

The Old Guard is also available as a frame lock, and the Yorkie, while truly outstanding, is not larger than the Banter as far as I can tell and it's also a recessed liner lock. A great one though.

This looks sold out at their own site, but might be available elsewhere. Lockback, 3.78"

I alternate a Baby Banter and a Dragonfly 2 in my EDC carries. I slightly prefer the DF 2.
 
Consider a small fixed blade from the custom knife makers for sale area.
