The Half Face Blades Gulo Gulo is a compact fixed blade that delivers relentless cutting performance and custom-level craftsmanship in a package designed for serious everyday use. Named after the wolverine, one of nature’s most determined predators, the Gulo Gulo embodies toughness, precision, and adaptability. Whether you’re heading into the backcountry, tackling camp chores, or carrying a dependable daily companion, this knife offers premium American performance with unmistakable visual impact.
At the heart of the Gulo Gulo is a 3-inch blade crafted from CPM S45VN American steel. Known for its outstanding corrosion resistance, excellent edge retention, and balanced toughness, S45VN is a premium stainless steel trusted by outdoorsmen and collectors alike. With a blade thickness of .14 inches, the knife offers a strong cutting platform while maintaining exceptional slicing ability and precise tip control.
The blade features an acid etch finish that gives it a rugged, weathered appearance while reducing glare and helping conceal wear from hard use. This dark finish complements the knife’s bold handle materials and reinforces its hard-use character.
The handle is where this Gulo Gulo truly becomes a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. Black Dunes carbon fiber layered over black burlap Micarta creates a deep, dimensional appearance with a striking blend of modern performance and traditional texture. A black G10 split adds clean contrast and structural detail. Hawaiian Curly Koa layered over black burlap Micarta introduces warm golden tones and dramatic figuring, bringing natural beauty and individuality to every knife. Mosaic pins complete the build with custom-level precision, and the textured grip ensures secure handling in any condition. The result is a richly layered handle that feels every bit as extraordinary as it looks.
Measuring 7.1 inches overall, the Gulo Gulo is compact enough for effortless carry while offering outstanding control and capability. Full tang construction provides maximum strength and durability, and the ergonomic handle contours lock comfortably into the hand for extended use.
A precision-molded Kydex sheath is included for secure retention and versatile carry. Whether worn on your belt or packed in your gear, it keeps the knife protected and ready when needed.
Stunning American craftsmanship with every detail dialed in, available at SMKW.
