They say that there aren’t many ways to reinvent the wheel. However, don’t tell the designers at Tekto Knives that. Like many of today’s modern high-end USA-based knifemakers, the brand was born out of necessity. Tekto’s founders found the usual knives unreliable in the harsh conditions of northeast Maine.
It would have been easy to build the usual outdoor knives to their preferred specifications and be done with it. However, Tekto set out to do more than that. Many states have overly restrictive regulations that don’t allow carrying auto knives based on arbitrary blade length limits. Knowing this, Tekto set about combating the problem. The solution was the A2 Badger OTF knife. Coincidentally, the blade is one of the most useful little EDC knives we’ve ever seen.
I did a little digging, as I haven’t heard of Tekto. They are located on Portland, Maine, and do the assembly in the States from foreign sourced parts. Which seems to be the model for small automatic makers that pop up.
