André Thorburn Collaboration

The Honey Badger Leaf M390 is a masterpiece born from our long-standing collaboration with South African knife maker André Thorburn. For over two decades, we’ve shared a passion for precision, performance, and innovation — and this knife reflects that heritage perfectly.

Forged from premium M390 steel, the Leaf M390 delivers exceptional edge retention, strength, and corrosion resistance. André’s signature three-stage heat treatment — including a triple sub-zero quench — takes this steel to the next level, creating a blade that performs as beautifully as it looks.

Each knife features an exquisite hollow-ground blade and meticulous finishing, representing the pinnacle of Honey Badger’s craftsmanship. Limited to just 20 pieces in both small and large sizes, the Honey Badger Leaf M390 stands as the ultimate collector’s piece — where innovation meets artistry.
