The Half Face Blades Extremis MK1 is a compact fixed blade built for serious performance, dependable control, and rugged American craftsmanship. Designed for users who need a reliable cutting tool in a streamlined form, this knife delivers hard-use capability without unnecessary bulk. Whether carried in the field, on duty, or as part of an everyday kit, the Extremis MK1 is engineered to perform when conditions demand precision and durability.
At its core is a 3.5-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 ideal for real-world environments where reliability is non-negotiable. At .14 inches thick, the blade offers a confident, durable profile that still maintains excellent slicing efficiency and control for detailed cutting tasks.
The blade is finished in Armor Black Cerakote, a premium ceramic coating that enhances corrosion resistance, improves wear durability, and provides a low-glare tactical appearance. This finish gives the knife a clean, professional look while ensuring it holds up under hard use in harsh conditions, moisture, and abrasion-heavy environments.
The handle is built from OD green canvas Micarta, a proven material valued for its strength, stability, and dependable grip in all conditions. Canvas Micarta naturally improves in hand feel over time while maintaining excellent traction, even when wet or gloved. The textured grip pattern further enhances control, ensuring a secure hold during precision work or high-stress use. Allen bolts secure the construction with a clean, functional aesthetic, while the hollow lanyard hole adds practical versatility for retention or carry customization.
Measuring 7.5 inches overall, the Extremis MK1 offers an ideal balance between compact portability and usable cutting length. Its ergonomic handle geometry supports natural indexing and reduces fatigue during extended use, while full tang construction ensures maximum strength from tip to pommel. This is a knife designed to stay consistent, no matter the task or environment.
A precision-molded Kydex sheath is included for secure retention and versatile carry options. Whether mounted on a belt or integrated into gear, it keeps the knife protected and immediately accessible when needed.
