With its clean lines, premium materials, and tactical styling, this knife is purpose-built for users who demand exceptional performance in a minimalist form. Whether you’re on duty, exploring the backcountry, or simply need a dependable everyday companion, the Gula Gula delivers with confidence and style.
At its core is a 3-inch Wharncliffe blade made from CPM S45VN stainless steel—one of the most advanced steels on the market. S45VN is celebrated for its superior edge retention, impressive toughness, and high corrosion resistance, making it ideal for real-world use in harsh environments. The Wharncliffe profile offers a straight cutting edge with a precision tip, perfect for controlled slicing, detail work, and utility tasks. Finished in Armor Black, the blade has a non-reflective, tactical appearance that also protects against wear and corrosion.
This full tang fixed blade is built to take a beating. It boasts a rock-solid handle constructed from black canvas Micarta, precision-machined in Half Face Blades’ signature Chaos Grip pattern. The texture provides a dependable, comfortable hold without being overly aggressive, and the handle’s contours are thoughtfully designed for natural hand placement. Secured with black Allen bolts, the scales deliver a clean, no-nonsense aesthetic with rock-solid performance to match. The exposed tang at the butt of the handle includes a lanyard hole for added retention options or personalization with paracord or beads.
Measuring 7.1 inches overall with a .14-inch thick blade, the Gula Gula is light, nimble, and built to move with you. It offers excellent control for precise cutting, while maintaining the durability to tackle tough materials and repeated use. Whether carried on your belt, chest rig, or pack, it’s sized right for concealed or open carry without sacrificing function.
The knife comes with a custom-fitted black Kydex sheath, complete with a belt loop for secure and convenient carry. The sheath locks the knife in place with a crisp snap, ensuring it's always ready when you are. Whether you're drawing fast or stowing it after a job well done, the Gula Gula sheath is as practical and streamlined as the blade itself.
Every detail of the Gula Gula Armor Black reflects Half Face Blades’ dedication to quality and functionality, all wrapped in a sleek, tactical package. It’s the kind of knife that earns its place in your rotation and keeps it for years to come.
