The Half Face Blades Combat Filet is a precision-driven fixed blade designed for controlled slicing performance, dependable durability, and refined American craftsmanship. Built for users who demand both cutting finesse and hard-use reliability, this knife blends premium materials with a streamlined, functional design that excels in the field, on the water, or in any environment where accuracy matters.
At its core is a 4-inch blade crafted from CPM S45VN American steel. This high-performance stainless steel is known for its excellent corrosion resistance, strong edge retention, and balanced toughness, making it especially well-suited for environments where moisture and repeated slicing are part of the job. At .15 inches thick, the blade offers a stable, confident backbone while still maintaining the flexibility and control needed for precise, fluid cutting tasks.
The blade features an acid etch finish that enhances its rugged, broken-in character while reducing glare and helping to mask wear from extended use. This finish gives the Combat Filet a dark, subdued aesthetic that pairs seamlessly with its modern, performance-focused build, ensuring it looks as capable as it performs.
The handle is constructed from Arctic Storm carbon fiber, delivering a striking, high-end visual pattern that blends icy blues, greys, and blacks into a dynamic layered appearance. Secured with lightweight yet incredibly strong titanium Allen bolts, the construction is both modern and durable. The textured grip ensures confident handling in wet or dry conditions, providing stability and control during long sessions of detailed cutting work. Carbon fiber brings an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, keeping the knife light in hand without sacrificing durability or structural integrity.
Measuring 8.5 inches overall, the Combat Filet offers a compact yet capable profile that carries easily while still providing the reach and control needed for precision tasks. Its ergonomic handle geometry reduces fatigue during extended use, and full tang construction ensures maximum strength from tip to pommel. This is a knife built to perform consistently, even under demanding conditions.
A precision-molded Kydex sheath is included for secure retention and versatile carry options. Whether mounted to a belt or stowed in a kit, it keeps the knife protected and ready for immediate deployment.
