Built for professionals and serious users who demand uncompromising performance, the Halfbreed Compact Clearance Knife Gen 2 in Ranger Green delivers strength, control, and reliability in a refined fixed-blade design. At its core is a one-piece full tang construction that provides exceptional structural integrity, ensuring the knife performs with confidence under extreme conditions. The blade is crafted from Austrian-made 6mm Böhler K110 tool steel, heat treated to 59–60 HRC and intentionally overbuilt to offer outstanding toughness, edge stability, and long-term durability.
The modified spear point blade profile reinforces the tip for enhanced piercing strength while maintaining efficient cutting performance. Its partially serrated, polished edge offers the versatility of smooth slicing paired with aggressive bite where it counts, and it’s easy to maintain even with frequent use. A precision-machined blade fuller reduces overall weight without sacrificing strength, keeping the knife balanced and responsive in hand. The Teflon-coated blade finish minimizes friction and glare while adding a protective layer against corrosion, making this Ranger Green variant well suited for harsh and unpredictable environments.
Thoughtful ergonomics define the Gen 2 platform. A live edge identifier positioned at the three-quarter point of the handle allows the user to instantly index the single-sided cutting edge by feel, an essential feature in low-visibility or high-stress situations. The beveled ring design enhances comfort and accessibility, allowing for exceptionally fast, intuitive deployment while maintaining a secure grip. Integrated into the ring is a concave thumb recess with jimping, providing added traction and supporting controlled downward pressure during demanding cutting or thrusting motions.
The handle scales are made from USA-produced Ranger Green G-10 and feature a textured, ergonomically contoured profile that enhances grip without snagging on clothing or gear. This balance of traction and smoothness ensures secure handling while reducing fatigue during extended use. Steel Torx fasteners anchor the scales firmly to the tang, maintaining stability and reliability under hard use.
Carry and retention are treated as integral parts of the system rather than an afterthought. The injection-molded, single-column sheath is precision formed for secure retention, smooth draws, and easy maintenance. Designed to integrate seamlessly with modern loadouts, it’s fully compatible with both belt carry and PALS/MOLLE mounting. Halfbreed’s philosophy is clear: the carry system must match the performance of the tool it protects.
The Compact Clearance Knife Gen 2 Ranger Green arrives in a signature foam-lined presentation case that includes a warranty statement, certificate of authenticity, specifications card, morale patch, and vinyl sticker, offering a complete and professional package. It’s also available with or without a dedicated trainer, allowing users to tailor the setup to their needs. With a 3.94-inch blade, slim 0.55-inch handle thickness, and a balanced overall weight, this knife delivers serious capability in a streamlined profile.
