Small enough to disappear into your everyday carry, but built with the same materials you would expect from a much larger OTF.
The Tekto A2 Badger combines a compact 5.30 inch overall length with a titanium coated D2 steel blade, carbon fiber and 6061 T6 aluminum handle, and automatic out the front operation. At only 2.18 ounces, it delivers the feel and construction of a full size OTF in a seriously compact package.
Compact OTF Design
The A2 Badger was built around portability.
Its 3.20 inch handle keeps the knife extremely compact, while the 1.85 inch blade provides a useful cutting edge for common light utility tasks such as opening packages, cutting tape, and handling everyday jobs.
At just 2.18 ounces, the Badger adds very little weight to a pocket or gear setup.
Titanium Coated D2 Steel
The A2 Badger uses D2 tool steel hardened to 58 to 60 HRC and finished with a titanium coating.
D2 is known for its combination of edge retention, toughness, and wear resistance, making it a popular steel for everyday cutting tools.
Depending on the selected configuration, the A2 Badger is available with a fine edge Tanto or Dagger style blade.
Carbon Fiber and Aluminum Construction
The handle combines carbon fiber with 6061 T6 aluminum to keep the knife lightweight while maintaining a solid structure.
At only 0.48 inches wide, the slim handle keeps the overall profile compact and easy to store without making the knife feel unnecessarily bulky.
