Half Face Buteo- Black Burlap Micarta, Armor Black Cerakote, Ti Allen Bolts, Textured Grip HFBUTEOBBM

Built for serious field use and dependable everyday performance, the Half Face Buteo delivers a compact fixed blade that blends rugged durability with refined craftsmanship. Designed for those who demand strength, control, and reliability from their gear, this knife stands ready for hard use whether you’re in the backcountry, on the job, or carrying it as a trusted everyday companion.

At the center of the Buteo is a 3.5 inch harpoon tanto blade crafted from premium CPM S45VN stainless steel. Known for its excellent edge retention, impressive toughness, and corrosion resistance, S45VN is a steel that’s built to perform in demanding environments. The harpoon tanto profile combines two highly functional blade elements into one capable design. The reinforced tanto tip provides outstanding piercing strength and durability, while the harpoon-style spine creates a natural thumb ramp that enhances control during detailed cutting tasks. Finished in a tough Armor Black Cerakote coating, the blade gains added protection from the elements while reducing glare and maintaining a clean, tactical appearance.

The Buteo features full tang construction, meaning the blade steel runs the entire length of the handle for maximum structural integrity. This design provides the strength and reliability expected from a serious working knife, allowing it to stand up to challenging cutting tasks without compromise.

The handle is crafted from black burlap micarta, a material prized for its strength, durability, and natural grip characteristics. Micarta develops additional traction with use, making it an excellent choice for a knife that may see wet, cold, or demanding conditions. The textured grip pattern enhances control and helps lock the knife securely into the hand during both precision work and heavier cutting. Securing the scales are titanium Allen bolts, which offer exceptional corrosion resistance and long-term strength while also allowing the handle to be removed for maintenance if needed.

Measuring 7.5 inches overall, the Buteo offers a balanced size that delivers strong cutting capability while remaining easy to carry and maneuver. Its compact yet capable design makes it well suited for a wide range of tasks, from camp work and field dressing to everyday utility.

For reliable carry, the knife includes a molded Kydex sheath equipped with an Ulti-Clip. This setup allows the blade to be securely attached to a pocket, belt, or gear, offering versatile carry options while keeping the knife safely in place and ready for quick access.
