The Honey Badger Medium Large Tanto Crossbolt Folder takes the rugged character of the Tanto blade and pairs it with Honey Badger’s advanced Crossbolt locking system. Built for strength, control, and smooth operation, this larger folder gives you a capable everyday-carry platform with fully ambidextrous handling and a secure, dependable design.
The 3.3-inch Tanto blade is crafted from 8Cr13MoV stainless steel and finished with a clean satin surface. Inspired by the short armor-piercing swords used by Samurai in feudal Japan, the Tanto replaces a traditional curved belly with angular edge transitions that create a strong, prominent point. The robust tip is well suited for piercing tougher materials, while the plain cutting edge delivers clean, controlled cuts for everyday tasks. With a 0.1-inch blade thickness, it offers a practical balance of strength and maneuverability.
Honey Badger’s Crossbolt locking mechanism gives this Tanto smooth, effortless operation and secure blade lockup. The axis-lock-style system is designed for easy operation from either side of the handle, making the knife fully ambidextrous and equally convenient for left- or right-handed users. The result is a modern locking system that complements the Tanto’s rugged profile while keeping deployment and closing simple and controlled.
The black FRN handle is built to provide durability without unnecessary weight. Honey Badger’s raised honeycomb texture creates multidirectional traction across the handle, helping resist slipping even when your hands are wet or you’re wearing gloves. Ergonomic contours, handle slabs, a finger choil, and the blade spine provide natural contact points for your hand, creating a secure and comfortable grip during use.
Despite its larger dimensions, this Medium Large Tanto remains impressively lightweight at just 2.55 ounces. Measuring 4.45 inches closed, it maintains a slim profile that’s easy to carry, while the deep-carry pocket clip helps keep the knife secure and discreet. The movable clip can be positioned for left- or right-hand carry, letting you configure your knife around your preferred setup.
At 7.8 inches overall, this Honey Badger combines a capable 3.3-inch blade with durable FRN construction and silver hardware. The larger size gives you additional handle room and cutting length while retaining the lightweight, pocket-friendly character Honey Badger is known for. Backed by a 10-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, this folder is built for dependable everyday service.
