Half Face Blades Buteo Fixed Blade 3.5in Plain Cerakote Modified Tanto HFBUTEOBKMIC

The Half Face Blades Buteo Black Canvas Micarta is a precision-built fixed blade that embodies rugged performance and streamlined utility. Designed for those who live and work with a blade by their side, this American-made knife delivers the kind of strength and reliability that make it a trusted companion in the field, on the job, or wherever the trail leads.

At its core is a 3.5-inch modified tanto blade crafted from CPM S45VN stainless steel—one of the most advanced knife steels available today. It offers exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness, ensuring that your blade performs when it matters most. The modified tanto design brings together the piercing strength of a reinforced tip with a slightly curved cutting edge, making it more versatile than a traditional tanto. It’s equally capable of detailed slicing, controlled carving, and hard-use penetration tasks.

The Cerakote finish adds a tactical edge while enhancing durability. This ceramic-based coating offers a tough, corrosion-resistant barrier against wear, moisture, and the elements, while also cutting glare and giving the blade a clean, low-profile appearance.

This knife is built full tang, giving it exceptional strength from tip to pommel. It’s matched with a black canvas Micarta handle that’s made to thrive under pressure. Micarta is a time-tested material known for its durability, natural texture, and performance in harsh conditions. It provides a comfortable, slip-resistant grip that only gets better with use. Whether your hands are wet, muddy, or gloved, the handle stays secure. Allen bolts lock it all together, delivering rock-solid construction with a no-nonsense finish.

Measuring 7.5 inches overall with a .12-inch blade thickness, the Buteo Black Canvas Micarta offers a perfect balance of size and strength. It’s compact enough for discreet daily carry but hefty enough to handle serious work. The handle includes a lanyard slot, giving you options for retention, storage, or customization based on your needs.

Every knife includes a black Kydex sheath with a secure belt clip. It’s designed for quick deployment and dependable retention, with a slim profile that stays out of the way until the moment you need it. Whether you're mounting it on your pack or wearing it on your hip, the sheath ensures your blade is always within reach and ready for action.

Proudly made in the USA by skilled hands, the Buteo Black Canvas Micarta reflects the craftsmanship and grit behind the Half Face Blades name. It’s built with the kind of detail and durability that only comes from American manufacturing and a deep understanding of what makes a knife dependable in the real world.
