At a glance, the A2 Badger is unassuming, its compact closed frame disappearing effortlessly into a pocket or clipped onto gear. But this knife thrives on challenging assumptions. Deploy the blade using its spring-loaded switch, and it transforms into a formidable tool. The 1.85-inch tanto-style blade, crafted from titanium-coated D2 steel, isn’t just about sharpness—it’s a powerhouse of durability and precision. The angular design is ideal for piercing tough materials, while the titanium coating ensures the blade resists wear and tear, even during heavy use. It’s a blade built not just for cutting but for enduring.
The A2 Badger button boasts an exceptional grip, ensuring maximum grip and control in any situation.
With its compact and lightweight design, the A2 Badger is both easy to store and transport, making it a popular choice among outdoor enthusiasts and those with limited space.
OTF, or out-the-front, knives like the A2 Badger are a different breed from traditional folding blades. The mechanism is mesmerizingly simple yet effective—a push of the switch sends the blade gliding out in an instant. This rapid deployment is more than just a party trick; it’s an invaluable feature for those moments when time is of the essence. Whether you’re slicing through a seatbelt in an emergency or tackling a tough outdoor task, the A2 Badger ensures you’re never left fumbling.
Featuring an oversized lanyard hole, this knife design accommodates a wider range of attachment options, including larger cords and paracords.
Beyond the blade, the A2 Badger’s handle showcases an attention to detail that elevates it from a utilitarian tool to a thoughtful piece of design. Made from 6061 aluminum, the handle is lightweight yet robust, designed to withstand the elements while maintaining a comfortable grip. It features a button lock mechanism to keep the blade securely in place, whether open or closed, ensuring peace of mind during use. The oversized lanyard hole adds an extra layer of versatility, allowing you to attach cords or paracords with ease—a small but impactful addition that outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate.
Its utility doesn’t end there. The glass breaker tip at the base of the handle is another standout feature, designed to shatter reinforced glass in emergency situations. Combined with the blade’s ability to cut through tough fabrics or materials, the A2 Badger becomes more than just a knife; it’s a multi-functional tool that adapts to a variety of high-stakes scenarios. This duality of simplicity and capability is where the A2 Badger truly shines—it’s a lifesaver that doesn’t look or feel cumbersome.
What makes the A2 Badger even more appealing is how it accommodates every user. The pocket clip is ambidextrous, catering to both left- and right-handed individuals, and its compact size means it never feels out of place, whether clipped onto gear during a hike or tucked into your jeans for a day in the city. At a featherlight 2.18 ounces, it’s easy to forget it’s there—until you need it.
The A2 Badger is available in three finishes—Black, Desert, and OD Green—allowing you to pick a color that matches your style or gear. This isn’t a knife that sacrifices form for function. This knife is currently available at a 20% discount (its highest discount ever), adding extra value to an already high-performing design. For enthusiasts and newcomers to EDC alike, the A2 Badger offers a practical, durable solution built to meet the demands of any scenario.
