Built for those who expect their gear to perform as hard as they do, the Half Face Blades The 86' (HFB x Realtree) Realtree Original Camo Midnight Bronze Cerakote is a purpose-driven fixed knife that combines rugged capability with striking outdoor style. Designed through a collaboration that celebrates both performance and heritage, this fixed blade knife delivers premium materials, dependable strength, and refined craftsmanship in a compact, versatile package.
At the heart of this knife is a plain 3.75” CPM MagnaCut stainless steel drop point blade. MagnaCut has quickly earned a reputation as one of the most advanced blade steels available, offering exceptional edge retention, impressive toughness, and outstanding corrosion resistance. That means this blade is ready to handle demanding cutting tasks while maintaining its sharp edge through repeated use. The drop point blade shape provides a strong, controllable tip and a sweeping cutting edge that excels at slicing, making it ideal for field work, camp tasks, and everyday utility cutting. A Midnight Bronze Cerakote finish enhances the blade’s durability while adding a distinctive, low-glare appearance that pairs perfectly with the knife’s outdoor-inspired design.
The blade is built with full tang construction, allowing the steel to extend through the entire handle for maximum strength and structural integrity. This construction method provides outstanding durability and balance, ensuring the knife performs reliably during demanding use. With an overall length of 7.75” and a blade thickness of .13”, the knife offers a confident, capable feel without becoming overly heavy. Weighing just 4 ounces, it’s light enough to carry comfortably while still delivering the solid performance expected from a premium fixed blade knife.
The handle features a Realtree Original camo hydro-dipped Micarta construction with a textured grip, creating a handle that’s both visually striking and highly functional. Micarta is well known for its strength, resistance to moisture, and ability to provide dependable grip even in challenging conditions. The textured pattern enhances control and helps ensure the knife stays firmly in hand whether you’re working in wet, muddy, or cold environments. Because each handle is hydro-dipped individually, the camo pattern on the grips will have slight variations from knife to knife and even from scale to scale, making every knife unique. Allen bolts secure the handle scales tightly to the tang, reinforcing the knife’s rugged construction while adding a clean, precision-built appearance.
A convenient lanyard slot at the base of the handle provides additional carry and retention options. Whether attached to a lanyard for quick access or used for added security during demanding tasks, this feature adds another layer of practical functionality to the design.
The knife includes a durable black Kydex sheath with a belt clip, offering secure retention and reliable protection for the blade. Kydex is known for its toughness and weather resistance, making it ideal for outdoor carry. The belt clip allows the knife to ride securely while keeping it accessible whenever you need it.
