Half Faced Blades Buteo S45VN Tanto OD Green G10/Redwood Handle HFBUTEOOD

The Half Face Blades Buteo S45VN Tanto OD Green G10/Redwood Handle is a compact powerhouse built for hard use and built right here in the USA. Designed with purpose and precision, this fixed blade strikes a balance between tactical utility and refined craftsmanship. At 7.5 inches overall, the Buteo is easy to carry yet tough enough to handle the demanding needs of field work, defense, or daily cutting tasks.

Its 3.5-inch tanto blade is forged from CPM S45VN stainless steel, a premium steel known for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and durability under stress. The blade features an acid etch finish that not only gives it a rugged, low-glare appearance but also helps reduce visibility in tactical environments. The tanto profile enhances tip strength and penetration while retaining a usable edge for slicing, making this a versatile and effective tool in close quarters or controlled cuts.

The handle brings a unique mix of materials that’s both functional and visually striking. OD green G10 provides a solid, grippy base that resists moisture and impact, while a redwood inlay adds a warm, natural contrast that stands out without sacrificing performance. The full tang construction ensures stability and strength from pommel to tip, and the ergonomic shaping offers a secure hold even in wet or gloved hands.

A black Kydex sheath is included and set up for belt clip carry, offering dependable retention and fast access whether worn vertically or horizontally. Whether you're on the move, off the grid, or just need a reliable blade at your side, the Buteo is ready to go the distance.
