Built for hard use and uncompromising reliability, the Half Face 3" HUMINT fixed blade delivers serious performance in a compact, purpose-driven design. Created for those who demand strength, control, and durability from their gear, this knife combines premium materials with rugged construction to produce a blade that’s ready for real-world work.
At the heart of the HUMINT is a 3 inch tanto blade crafted from CPM S45VN stainless steel. This advanced powder metallurgy steel is known for excellent edge retention, impressive toughness, and strong corrosion resistance, making it well suited for demanding environments. The tanto profile reinforces the blade tip, giving it superior piercing capability and added durability during tough cutting tasks. Finished in a Cerakote Flat Dark Earth coating, the blade gains additional protection from the elements while reducing glare and giving the knife a clean, tactical look.
The knife features full tang construction, meaning the steel runs the entire length of the handle for maximum strength and structural integrity. This design ensures the HUMINT can handle hard use without compromise, making it a dependable companion whether it’s carried for field tasks, utility work, or everyday readiness.
Along the spine near the handle, pronounced jimping provides added control where it matters most. These small, machined grooves give your thumb extra traction when applying pressure for controlled cuts. When precision and grip stability are critical, this added texture helps keep the blade steady and secure in hand.
The handle is built from durable black G-10, a material prized for its strength, weather resistance, and lightweight performance. The scales feature a textured grip pattern that locks comfortably into the hand, offering confident control even in wet or demanding conditions. Securing the scales are titanium Allen bolts, which provide exceptional corrosion resistance and strength while also allowing the handle to be easily removed for cleaning or maintenance.
Measuring 7.2 inches overall, the HUMINT strikes an ideal balance between compact size and capable performance. Its streamlined profile allows for easy carry while still delivering the cutting power expected from a tactical fixed blade.
For carry and storage, the knife includes a durable Kydex sheath. This molded sheath offers a secure fit and reliable retention while remaining lightweight and weather resistant, ensuring the blade stays protected and accessible when you need it most.
