Western Active Medium Honey Badger - Overview

[@metal_complex]

Apparently, Maxace is claiming the Honey Badger is a stolen design. I was just made aware of this via Birdshot IV. You can get more info from their Instagram post here: instagram.com/p/ByQzGinn_vB/?igshid=19zsvi8nqubhp. This video may end up being taken down. I do not condone "clones" on this channel.

It's a well build knife...perfect budget knife...besides my manix 2s this is my fidget knife

The things I really appreciate about this knife is the price point, the numerous options on blade type and handles, and the overall design. However, I wish they had not gone so all-out on that honeycomb design. To my eyes, it kind of makes it too novelty-esque. I'm also wondering if that handle pattern under the clip will eventually wear out the seam of your pocket. On my Cutjack I took a Dremel Tool and smoothed that section out, along with some of the jimping, and that has proven to be a good move for heavy use.

It's pretty smooth to the touch. But over time, it's possible it'll wear down your pocket a little.

I have both a medium and a large. Love my Honey.

What's the chances of you doing a review of the new range of Honey badger like the reversible pocket clip, G10 scales, Tanto style, DLC coatings etc

Nice budget knife.

I saw your GAW is up already. I thought you may have done a carry for a week or so first.

[@metal_complex]

Well, I really wanted to give a knife away that was truly new... but I may end up buying another for myself!

Where's the best place to grab one thanks?

[@metal_complex]

I got this one from the Western Active website.

I believe Western Active and Amazon are the only 2 sellers at this time.

I wanted to like this knife but I ended up returning it. Handle feels super cheap, deployment isn’t great, it was scuffed up, and was missing a pocket clip screw. This should be a $20 knife like the QSP Parrot. I got my Ruike Hassar for $35 and I’ll take that over the $33 Badger any day of the week.

[@metal_complex]

Wow I don't blame you for returning it! This one isn't scratched up at all, and definitely has all the screws. I do agree though, the scales feel a tad cheap.

[@LongOdds]

@@metal_complex I'm guessing the QC isn't great on these. Mine is disappointing as well. Not missing any screws or anything, but the action is gritty and the detent is very weak. Lockup is about 80% (out of the box). Considering returning it, but disappointed regardless.

[@metal_complex]

Man. Sounds like I got lucky with mine! Sorry to hear yours came in such poor shape.

Honey badger don't play no shit!!

Why are you reviewing knives in a car..... ?Was a school bus not available?

[@metal_complex]

Was this a joke? If so, I don't get it. I used to review knives in my old vehicle. That was a while ago.
