Honey Badger Cross-Bolt Tanto Folder — Serrated, 14C28N, Black G10

The upgraded specification of Honey Badger's serrated cross-bolt tanto. Sandvik 14C28N replaces the standard 8Cr13MoV, bringing noticeably better edge retention and corrosion resistance, and the handle steps up from moulded FRN to machined black G10 for a firmer, more secure grip in wet or dusty conditions.

Choose between a stonewashed blade, which hides working marks, or a black PVD coating for a lower-visibility, non-reflective finish with added corrosion protection. Same ambidextrous cross-bolt lock throughout — a hardened steel bar engaging the blade tang, releasable from either side.

Sharpening a serrated edge

Serrations need a tapered rod rather than a flat stone — work each scallop individually from the front face only, and finish by stroking the flat back of the blade to remove the burr. At 23° the factory grind is fairly obtuse, which is what makes it hold up to rope and webbing. Bring it in to the showroom if you'd rather we did it.
