The Half Face Blades Disaster Jr is a compact fixed blade that brings together uncompromising American craftsmanship, premium materials, and hard-use performance in a package that looks every bit as impressive as it cuts. Designed to handle serious field work, camp chores, and everyday carry tasks, this knife delivers the rugged reliability Half Face Blades is known for with a custom-level handle build that makes each piece unique.
At the heart of the Disaster Jr is a 4-inch blade crafted from CPM 3V American steel. Widely respected for its exceptional toughness, edge retention, and resistance to chipping under demanding use, CPM 3V is built for users who expect their knives to perform in the real world. The blade measures .15 inches thick, giving it the strength needed for hard cutting and outdoor tasks while maintaining excellent slicing ability. An acid etched finish gives the blade a dark, battle-worn appearance, reduces glare, and helps hide the marks that come with honest use.
This configuration stands out with an exceptionally detailed layered handle that blends natural canvas Micarta, black G10, and brass pin striping. A natural canvas Micarta split adds visual depth, while richly figured Buckeye Burl introduces striking organic patterns and warm natural tones. Mosaic pins and a brass lanyard pin complete the build, adding custom-shop detail that ties the materials together beautifully. The textured grip ensures a secure hold in wet, dry, or gloved conditions, giving you confidence when the work gets tough.
Measuring 8 inches overall, the Disaster Jr offers a versatile size that carries comfortably while still providing the reach and control needed for demanding tasks. The full tang construction delivers outstanding durability, and the ergonomic handle shape fits naturally in hand for extended use.
A custom-fit Kydex sheath is included for secure retention and dependable carry. Whether it's worn on your belt or stowed in your pack, the sheath keeps the knife protected and ready for action.
A stunning, intricately detailed handle turns this premium Disaster Jr into a functional workhorse and custom-quality masterpiece, available at SMKW.
