Medium-Large Tanto Crossbolt Knife - FRN Handles - 8Cr13MoV Steel
Shape: Tanto Steel: 8Cr13MoV Action: Crossbolt
Experience the next evolution of Honey Badger Knives with our new Crossbolt system—designed for unmatched strength, safety, and control. The Crossbolt delivers an ultra-smooth, effortless open, with secure lockup you can trust in any condition.
Fully ambidextrous and easy to maintain, this knife is built for left- and right-handed users alike.
Stronger, safer, and smoother—this is the most advanced Honey Badger yet.
Inspired by the short armour-piercing swords used by Samurai in feudal Japan, Honey Badger’s popular Tanto blade now features a Cross-Bolt locking system, combining its strong, distinctive blade profile with smooth, secure and ambidextrous operation.
The Tanto blade replaces a curved belly with angular edge transitions, creating a strong and prominent point. Its durable tip and robust profile make it ideal for piercing tough materials, while the plain cutting edge delivers clean, controlled cuts for everyday tasks.
Durable Fibre Reinforced Nylon (FRN) handles with Honey Badger’s signature raised honeycomb texture provide a secure, confident grip, even in wet or gloved conditions.
The Cross-Bolt locking mechanism provides dependable blade lock-up and easy operation from either side, bringing added versatility and convenience to this modern take on the increasingly popular Tanto blade.

Let customers speak for us
I recently received the Limited Edition Crossbolt/ Axis Lock knife. Very fine but of kit. I really like the Crossbolt/Axis open and close action. It's on par with a similar Benchmade knife I've had and also an Ozark Trails knife. My new EDC will be the Crossbolt.
The dark blade matched with the grey handles is particularly attractive. It sits low in my pants pocket, so that only the clip is readily noticeable. Nice job, HoneyBadger!
Love this knife, its my every day carry. I have several oghers, this is my favorite. Ive given 2 as gifts.
Great knife i use it for work to strip wire holds a edge great use it everyday!
Got this for my husband and he loves it! Doesnt leave the house without it! So happy with this purchase!
I like everything about this knife. It cuts way above it's price. I currently own six of them and I also buy and hive them as gifts.
I absolutely love honey badger knives and they have the best customer service!! I highly recommend all of there products!!
Quality very usable products at a decent price with fast delivery!
Absolutely love this blade shape and smooth fidgety feel of the action. Detent is spot on and slaps hard like it should. Access to liner lock is perfect. Thumb hole works great on front and back side use. Flipper is comfortable and kicks without complaint. Everything is so dang good except for some of the build quality. Blade has grinding marks on show side. Handle needs to be more firm. Blade moves side to side. This knife is SOOO good and so close to something next level. Awesome blade for the price! Seriously cheering you on for the next step in the process. I will be the first in line to buy it.
Great knife to keep in your vehicle. I bought 2, 1 for my truck, 1 for the wife's van.
I've never owned a sheepsfoot style knife before, but it quickly became one of my favorites. I haven't carried any other style since I received this one. Great knife.
Love how light this is and how simple and easy to handle it is. Craftsmanship is really good.
Nice snappy knife right out of the box, light weight & good grip.
