The Honey Badger Wharncleaver 14C28N Black PVD Medium is a versatile folding knife designed for everyday carry, outdoor use and general utility tasks.
Featuring Honey Badger’s distinctive Wharncleaver blade profile, premium 14C28N stainless steel with a durable Black PVD coating and the brand’s signature ergonomic handle design, the Honey Badger Wharncleaver 14C28N Black PVD Medium knife delivers excellent slicing performance, dependable cutting ability and comfortable everyday carry in a lightweight, practical package.
The Wharncleaver blade combines the strengths of two proven blade designs into a highly functional everyday carry format. Its broad, flat-ground blade and straighter cutting edge provide excellent slicing performance and efficient cutting through a wide variety of materials. Inspired by the Wharncliffe blade profile, the design also helps minimise the risk of accidental punctures thanks to its lowered tip, making it well suited to controlled cutting tasks. By incorporating elements of a traditional cleaver, the Honey Badger Wharncleaver offers increased cutting versatility while retaining excellent control, resulting in a blade profile capable of handling an exceptionally wide range of everyday cutting applications.
The blade is manufactured from premium 14C28N stainless steel and finished with a Black PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) coating. This advanced coating creates a hard, wear-resistant surface that helps protect the blade against scratches, abrasion and corrosion while maintaining its distinctive black finish. Combined with the excellent edge retention, toughness and corrosion resistance of 14C28N steel, the blade is designed to provide reliable cutting performance and long-lasting durability, even under regular use.
The lightweight Fibre Reinforced Nylon (FRN) handle features Honey Badger’s distinctive honeycomb texture, providing a secure multi-directional grip that helps resist slipping, even in wet conditions. Its slim, lightweight construction makes the knife comfortable to carry throughout the day, while the ergonomic handle shape naturally fits the hand for improved comfort and control. Carefully contoured handle slabs, choils and blade spine contact points further enhance grip security and promote safe, confident handling during extended cutting tasks.
Designed for convenient everyday carry, the Honey Badger Wharncleaver 14C28N Black PVD Medium features a reversible pocket clip, allowing users to configure the knife for either left- or right-handed carry according to personal preference.
Combining an innovative Wharncleaver blade profile, premium 14C28N stainless steel, a durable Black PVD finish and Honey Badger’s proven ergonomic design, the Honey Badger Wharncleaver 14C28N Black PVD Medium is an excellent choice for users seeking a dependable folding knife for everyday carry, outdoor adventures and a wide variety of utility cutting tasks.
