Cross Bolt

Honey Badger Crossbolt pocket knives feature a modern crossbar locking mechanism—often referred to as an axis lock or crossbolt lock—engineered for superior strength, safety, and everyday reliability.

This ambidextrous locking system uses a hardened steel bar that spans the width of the knife, engaging securely with the blade tang to create an exceptionally strong lockup that resists accidental closure under pressure. Unlike traditional liner locks or frame locks, a crossbolt knife allows the blade to be opened and closed without placing fingers in the blade path, dramatically improving user safety. The smooth, low-friction action delivers fast, effortless one-handed operation, making these knives ideal for everyday carry (EDC), outdoor use, tactical applications, and utility work.

Fully ambidextrous by design, Honey Badger crossbolt knives offer equal control for left- and right-handed users, with intuitive thumb-stud deployment and a lock that can be disengaged from either side. The simplicity of the crossbar mechanism also makes it highly durable, dirt-resistant, and easy to maintain—ensuring long-term performance in demanding conditions. Whether you’re seeking a rugged EDC knife, a reliable outdoor tool, or a safer alternative to conventional locking systems, Honey Badger Crossbolt knives deliver confidence-inspiring strength, smooth action, and unmatched versatility in a precision-engineered folding knife.
