Badger Creek

The Badger Creek is a versatile outdoor and hunting knife designed by Leo Espinoza. Originally sketched in 2017 and named by TOPS founder Mike Fuller, this knife combines rugged field performance with premium materials, making it equally suited for camp chores, bushcraft, hunting, and general outdoor use.

Its 6-inch blade is crafted from N690Co / Cobalt Vanadium steel, offering excellent corrosion resistance, toughness, and edge retention. This makes the Badger Creek especially well suited for wet environments and demanding field conditions. The tumble finish provides a clean working appearance while helping to conceal signs of hard use.

With a blade thickness of 0.190" (4.8 mm), the knife delivers outstanding durability for heavy-duty tasks. At the same time, the high grind keeps the edge geometry efficient, providing excellent slicing performance for wood processing, game preparation, and camp work.

The ergonomically contoured two-tone Tan Canvas / Black Canvas Micarta handle offers a secure grip even when wet or during extended use. Its textured surface enhances control and comfort in demanding conditions.

The knife comes complete with a durable black Kydex sheath featuring a dangler attachment for comfortable field carry.
