The Honey Badger Tanto Small is a compact folding knife designed for everyday carry, precision cutting and general utility use
Featuring a durable tanto-style blade, lightweight construction and Honey Badger’s signature ergonomic handle design, the Honey Badger Tanto Small delivers dependable cutting performance, outstanding piercing strength and secure handling in a highly portable package.
Inspired by the short armour-piercing swords used by Samurai in feudal Japan, the tanto blade profile replaces the traditional curved belly with an angular transition near the tip. This distinctive design creates a much stronger and more prominent point, making the blade exceptionally well suited to piercing tough materials while providing increased tip durability. Although modern users are unlikely to encounter the blade’s original armour-piercing role, its reinforced point remains highly effective for a wide variety of everyday cutting and utility tasks that demand strength and precision.
The blade is manufactured from durable 8Cr13MoV stainless steel, offering an excellent balance of edge retention, corrosion resistance and ease of sharpening. This reliable steel provides dependable performance for everyday use while remaining simple to maintain, making the knife a practical choice for daily carry.
The lightweight Fibre Reinforced Nylon (FRN) handle features Honey Badger’s distinctive honeycomb texture, providing a secure multi-directional grip that helps prevent slipping, even in wet conditions. Its slim profile keeps the knife comfortable to carry and unobtrusive in the pocket, while the ergonomic handle shape fits naturally in the hand for excellent comfort and control. Carefully contoured handle slabs, choils and blade spine contact points further improve handling and provide a confident grip during extended use.
Designed for discreet everyday carry, the Honey Badger Tanto Small incorporates a deep-carry pocket clip that allows the knife to sit securely and unobtrusively inside the pocket while remaining quick and easy to access when required. Its compact size makes it an excellent option for users who want the practicality of a full-featured folding knife in a smaller, more pocket-friendly design.
Combining a reinforced tanto blade, durable materials and Honey Badger’s proven ergonomic design, the Honey Badger Tanto Small is an excellent everyday companion for users seeking a compact, reliable folding knife for daily cutting tasks, outdoor activities and general utility applications.
