The Halfbreed Blades Large Survival Knife Black is a purpose-built fixed blade designed for extreme environments where strength, versatility, and reliability are non-negotiable. Engineered with a one-piece full tang construction, this knife is unapologetically robust, delivering the confidence needed for survival, tactical, and hard-use field applications. Every design element serves a functional role, creating a tool that thrives under sustained abuse.
At the core of the Large Survival Knife is Austrian-made 7mm Böhler K110 D2 tool steel, selected for its exceptional toughness, edge retention, and resistance to deformation. This steel is overbuilt for outstanding longevity, allowing the blade to endure heavy prying, chopping, and impact work without compromise. The polished plain edge takes a razor-sharp finish and is easy to maintain in the field, ensuring dependable cutting performance across a wide range of tasks. A full-length fuller optimizes weight distribution, improving balance and handling while preserving the blade’s formidable strength.
Finished with a hard-wearing, low-friction black Teflon coating, the blade mitigates glare and provides excellent corrosion resistance. The coating also reduces drag during cutting, helping the blade move efficiently through dense materials. The modified tanto point and reinforced blade geometry deliver extraordinary tip strength and overall utility, making this knife exceptionally capable for prying, slicing, and thrust cuts. It excels at woodworking tasks such as carving, chopping, and drilling, as well as skinning, sawing, and other field processing activities where durability is critical.
Along the spine, aggressive straight-cut saw teeth add another layer of functionality, allowing the knife to effectively cut dry wood and a variety of hard in-field materials, including plastic and bone. Forward of the handguard, integrated lashing points enable the tool to be adapted for use as an improvised spear, expanding its survival utility. Bevelled edges around the handle perimeter and key blade contact areas reduce abrasion and increase comfort during extended use, even without gloves.
The oversized handguard offers reliable hand protection while also allowing multiple grip options. Users can choke up high for controlled, delicate shaving tasks or drop to a lower grip for more dynamic chopping and slashing. Jimping placed at key points along the tang enhances traction and control during demanding work. The US-made black G-10 handle scales are ergonomically contoured to minimize hot spots and provide a secure grip in wet or dry conditions, secured to the full tang with steel Torx fittings.
At the rear, a crusher pommel functions as a glass breaker, strike surface, and hammer platform, adding yet another layer of utility. A lanyard hole supports paracord attachment for retention or customized carry setups. The knife is paired with a US-made molded Kydex sheath, precision formed for secure retention and easy maintenance. Supplied with both belt and PALS/MOLLE mounting options, the sheath adapts easily to a wide range of carry configurations.
To complete the package, the Large Survival Knife Black is presented in a signature foam-lined presentation case with a warranty statement, certificate of authenticity, specifications card, morale patch, and vinyl logo sticker.
