The Honey Badger Tanto Flipper knife offers a seamless opening and closing experience. Thanks to two opposing roller bearings with a total of 18 ball bearings, using this knife is an absolute delight. Inspired by the short armour - piercing swords of feudal Japanese Samurai, the Tanto blade has an angular edge, creating a strong and prominent point perfect for piercing tough objects. We recommend the Whitby Pouch Medium (11.48cm) for the Tanto Medium and the Whitby Pouch Large (12.70cm) for the Tanto Large. This knife features an 8Cr13MoV stainless steel blade, fibreglass - reinforced nylon handles, a ball - bearing pivot system, a deep - carry pocket clip, and a flipper opening mechanism. The honeycomb pattern on the handle provides a multi - directional grip, making it light, slim, and resistant to slipping even when wet. It also comes with a 10 - year warranty. The Medium size has an overall length of 18.5cm, a closed length of 10.4cm, a blade length of 8.1cm, a blade thickness of 3mm, and weighs 85g. The Large size has an overall length of 21cm, a closed length of 11.7cm, a blade length of 9.2cm, a blade thickness of 3mm, and weighs 110g.
Using the Honey Badger Tanto Flipper knife is easy. Just use the flipper opening mechanism to quickly open the blade. When closing, make sure your fingers are clear of the blade path. For safety, always close the knife when not in use. When using it to pierce tough objects, apply steady pressure. As for maintenance, after each use, wipe the blade dry to prevent rust, especially if it gets wet. You can also occasionally lubricate the ball - bearing pivot system to keep the opening and closing smooth. Avoid using the knife for tasks it's not designed for, like prying extremely heavy objects, as this could damage the blade or other parts. Keep the knife out of reach of children. With proper use and maintenance, this knife will serve you well throughout the 10 - year warranty period.
