Collection: Honey Badger

Honey Badgers are known for their strength, fearlessness and most notably, their toughness.
They are Africa’s toughest animal, so it made sense that Africa’s toughest knife should carry the same name.

Honey Badger Knives were conceived in 2014 by our Founder and Head Knife Designer, Marc Ager who saw a need in South Africa for an affordable range of high-quality, practical and durable EDC knives. This affordability was a key factor as with South Africa’s poor exchange rate many users were looking for the best value for money available, and in achieving this Honey Badger surprisingly also found a similar demand even in more affluent markets including USA, Europe, GCC, Israel, Australia, New Zealand etc. It quickly became clear to us that a combination of high quality & exceptional value is a common need amongst knife enthusiasts worldwide.

With over 40 years of experience in the hunting and outdoor market, a wealth of knowledge, and a lifelong passion for knives, Marc spent 18 months researching and refining his designs. These became the first three models of the Honey Badger range: the Claw, Hook, and Flipper/Drop-point, which launched at the April 2016 HuntEx Expo in Johannesburg, South Africa. Eight years later, the success of the original three models has grown into a wide range of nine different blade styles, three sizes and three blade steels, with six colored FRN (Fibre Reinforced Nylon) handles.
