Honey Badger Drop Point Flipper Knife, Large, Black

Is it wierd to be in love with a knife? I own at least 50 good knives but I can honestly say that for the first time ever I have found a blade that I am completely satisfied with. I'm not super picky but there always seems to be something I would change on every one of my knives if I could, even my favorites. It may be the clip or the blade length or the bearings, ect. In my opinion,the Honey Badger has the perfect combination of style, blade shape, performance, price, fit and finish, and ergonomics. Feels great, looks great and came super sharp. I am very impressed with this knife and even the box it came in. I have put every edc blade in my rotation away. The Honey Badger will be in my pocket for a long time to come. Choose your size and color and get one as soon as you can. You will not be disappointed.

This knife is a rock solid product and the price can't be beat. It is light weight, made of quality materials, nicely designed and feels good in the hand. The blade is very stable when extended. The bearings on which the blade rotates provide a quick smooth action requiring only a sharp snap of the flipper to extend and lock the blade. Some may prefer a beefier grip, but to me it is the right balance between size, weight and grip texture for a pocket knife.The pocket clip is only set up for a right handed user, but it's position results in a deep carry position. I haven't bought real expensive knives because there are so many good knives at reasonable prices, so if I lose or damage one I can easily and inexpensively replaced it.The only complaint I have about this knife is in disengaging the liner lock. The liner lock lever often gets pretty tightly wedged requiring extra force to disengage it. I'm not going to try to fix the problem at this point. I'm going to give use a chance to correct it. I'm withholding a star on the review pending resolution of the problem.Update: The sticky liner lock lever continued to be a problem after many blade deployments, so I decided to take it apart and check the finish on the points of contact of the liner lock. Advice: don't attempt to take the knife apart unless you are experienced or mechanically inclined. I found the end of the spring locking lever to essentially be unfinished causing the area of contact with the back the blade to be very rough. This was the cause of the sticky liner lock. I smoothed it with a quick touch of the rotary tool and some very fine carbide sand paper until it was smooth. The liner lock is now very smooth. The issue I raised earlier is resolved. I consider this matter one of quality control since I've not seen this complaint in another review. If I had been unable to resolve this problem myself I would have returned the knife. One other observation I found is that the blade when folded in the handle is off center. I attribute that to the pressure of the lock lever and the detent on the lever which places the blade slightly to one side when folded.The detent is there to hold the blade in the handle when folded, and it's very good at that, so I don't consider it an issue since the blade does not make contact with the the liner on the other side of the handle.2nd Update: I like the Honey Badger knife so well I purchased a medium size with a tan grip. All the positive things I said about the large knife are true of the medium. Unfortunately so is the one negative thing. The liner lock lever hangs up a bit on this knife as well when preparing to fold the blade. The lever is initially somewhat difficult to move to the left on the way to disengaging the lock. The liner lock lever on this medium size knife doesn't stick quite as much as was the case with the large size, but it's still takes more effort than just the motion to get it started. As was the case with the large knife I took this knife apart and filed and polished the "raw" end of the lock lever. After putting the knife back together the lever smoothly moves away from the back of the blade without sticking. This finishing of the end of the lever isn't rocket science, but it seems to be more than a quality control issue. There needs to be a deliberate minute or two of effort to file and smooth the end of the lever during initial construction. If this matter is resolved I would give the Honey Badger 5 stars. As it came the knife is functional but the initial extra effort to disengage the liner lock was a distraction for me, something the user shouldn't have to experience or even think about. I would have given the knife 3 stars but for the other good features of the knife. I noted on the large size knife that the blade is slightly off center when folded in the handle. That isn't the case with this medium size knife. When folded the blade is centered in the handle.

I use it for a regular pocket knife when I need too cut something, and when I go fishing 🎣

My initial review gave the knife a 3/5 because of a tight sticking lockbar. Returned the first knife to the Amazon vendor for a replacement. The replacement performed as it should so I'm giving the replacement knife a 5/5. For the money it is a good knife. I have better knives costing triple the price. This knife will be kept in my pickup as a go to back up knife.

This knife has become very popular among what us modern knife fans call “Knife People”. 😁Anyway, it arrived in good shape, and on time.What to know:action is decentblade seems strong and is nice n shineyclip is finethumbhole is sosoim not crazy about the honeycomb handlesAll things considered, i would likely buy it again, but in the Medium size... this one is a tad too big for my smallish hands.4*
