ADV Tactical Badlands 2 Copper Honeycomb – S35VN

The ADV Tactical Badlands 2 combines a satin finished bowie blade with Copper Honeycomb inlays and a matching copper-inlaid backspacer. Handcrafted in South Africa, this substantial folder pairs titanium construction with one of the most distinctive handle configurations offered on the platform. The 4.00″ CPM-S35VN blade features a classic bowie profile with a flat grind, deep fuller, and satin finish. At 0.18″ thick, the blade carries significant presence while maintaining a long, usable cutting edge. The satin finish provides a clean contrast against the darker hardware and warm copper accents found throughout the build. Deployment comes via flipper tab and rides on a bearing-driven pivot system. The action is smooth and deliberate, matching the knife’s overall size and construction. Titanium handle scales are fitted with Copper Honeycomb inlays on both sides, creating depth, contrast, and visual texture across the frame. The copper inlay theme continues into the titanium backspacer, tying the entire knife together from end to end. Additional details include titanium hardware, a copper-accented pivot collar, and a titanium pocket clip. Lockup is provided by a titanium frame lock, while the versatile pocket clip supports tip-up or tip-down right-hand carry as well as tip-up left-hand carry. Measuring 9.00″ overall and weighing 8.78 ounces, the Badlands 2 Bowie combines a satin finished blade, titanium construction, and distinctive Copper Honeycomb inlays in a configuration that reflects Andre de Villiers’ signature approach to large-format folder design.
