These are great knives. I bought the large Badger several months ago. I liked it enough I bought the smaller one.

Had this knife a year now. Like the overall design, came centered and sharp, very grippy handle. Like the small size, blade just under 3 inches, it’s not overly intimidating but you could use it for tactical applications if necessary, although there are better choices for that. I prefer a frame or back lock for anything larger than this, just a personal choice but the liner lock bar fully engages and seems secure enough for a small knife. Don’t try to baton with it but it is a very good light to medium duty edc knife. For camping I take my larger Recon 1, although I wouldn’t want to carry something that big around town in some areas for legal reasons. I’m not a knife fidgeter but this Honey Badger fidgets easily one handed if you are into that. D2 steel is a good medium grade steel that is slightly harder to sharpen than some but has a durable edge. The full flat grind is nice for slicing. The only thing I don’t like about this knife is the opening hole because I never use it and think it is redundant since small stuff sometimes gets caught in it and the flipper would work well enough without it, not a deal breaker for me though.
