Half Face Blades 3in HUMINT Fixed Blade Blk Burlap Micarta Blk G10 Brass-White G10 Pin Striping Olive Canvas Micarta Split HFHUMBKBLMCPS

The Half Face Blades 3" HUMINT is a compact fixed blade built for discreet carry, precision control, and uncompromising performance. Designed with a tactical mindset and refined American craftsmanship, this knife delivers serious capability in a streamlined profile that’s easy to carry and even easier to trust when it counts.

At the core of the HUMINT is a 3-inch blade crafted from CPM S45VN American steel. Known for its excellent corrosion resistance, strong edge retention, and balanced toughness, S45VN is a premium stainless steel that performs consistently in real-world environments. At .15 inches thick, the blade offers a stout, confidence-inspiring backbone while still maintaining the finesse needed for controlled slicing, detailed work, and close-quarters utility tasks.

The blade features an acid etch finish that gives it a dark, subdued appearance with a hardened, field-worn character. This finish helps reduce glare and masks wear from repeated use, allowing the blade to develop a natural patina of experience while maintaining its cutting performance. It’s a look that feels purposeful—built for work, not display.

The handle is where this configuration truly stands apart. It features an exceptionally detailed layered construction of black burlap Micarta and black G10, delivering a rugged foundation with modern durability. Brass and white G10 pin striping adds sharp contrast and visual structure, while olive canvas Micarta and olive canvas Micarta split sections bring depth, warmth, and a grounded field aesthetic. Patriot mosaic pins tie the build together with custom-level detail, reinforcing the knife’s identity as something far beyond standard production. The textured grip ensures secure handling in all conditions, whether wet, dry, or gloved.

Measuring 7.2 inches overall, the HUMINT is compact, fast-handling, and purpose-driven. Its size makes it ideal for concealed carry, tactical applications, and everyday utility where a smaller footprint is essential. Full tang construction ensures strength from tip to pommel, while the ergonomic handle design supports precise control and reduced fatigue during extended use.

A precision-molded Kydex sheath is included for secure retention and versatile carry options. Whether worn on a belt or integrated into a kit, it keeps the knife protected and instantly accessible.
