The Half Face Blades Gulo Gulo is a compact fixed blade that proves a hardworking tool can also be a true piece of craftsmanship. Inspired by the tenacious wolverine, this knife is built to be small, tough, and relentlessly capable. Whether you're heading into the backcountry, processing game, or carrying a dependable everyday fixed blade, the Gulo Gulo delivers premium American performance in a package that's as striking as it is practical.
At the core of the Gulo Gulo is a 3-inch blade crafted from CPM S45VN American steel. This high-performance stainless steel is known for excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and balanced toughness, making it ideal for demanding field use. With a blade thickness of .14 inches, the blade offers a robust cutting platform while maintaining the fine control and slicing efficiency needed for precise work.
The blade is finished in Armor Black Cerakote, a durable ceramic coating that adds superior protection against wear and corrosion while creating a low-glare tactical appearance. The rich black finish contrasts beautifully with the natural handle material, giving the knife a refined and purposeful look that stands up to hard use.
The handle is crafted from Buckeye Burl, one of the most visually dramatic woods used in custom knife making. Its swirling grain patterns, natural color variation, and unique figure ensure that no two knives are exactly alike. Secured with rugged Allen bolts and shaped with a textured grip, the handle provides dependable control while showcasing extraordinary natural beauty. The combination of organic wood and modern materials creates a knife that feels as special in hand as it looks.
Measuring 7.1 inches overall, the Gulo Gulo is compact enough for easy carry while still offering plenty of control and cutting capability. The ergonomic handle contours lock comfortably into the hand, and full tang construction provides exceptional strength and durability from tip to pommel.
A precision-molded Kydex sheath is included for secure retention and versatile carry options. Whether worn on your belt or tucked into your gear, it keeps the knife protected and ready for immediate deployment.
