CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESDesigned for serious use in a compact, no-nonsense format, the Halfbreed Compact Clearance Knife in Ranger Green delivers strength, precision, and reliability in a fixed blade that’s built to endure. At the foundation is a one-piece full tang construction that provides exceptional rigidity and confidence under load. The blade is machined from Austrian-made 6mm Böhler K110 (D2) tool steel, heat treated to 59–60 HRC and intentionally overbuilt to deliver outstanding longevity, edge stability, and toughness through repeated hard use.
The spear point blade profile is optimized to handle both piercing and slicing tasks with authority. A plain, polished cutting edge offers clean, controlled cuts and is easy to maintain, making it a practical choice for demanding environments. A precisely machined blade fuller reduces overall weight without compromising strength, keeping the knife balanced and responsive. The Teflon-coated finish adds a hard-wearing, low-friction surface that minimizes glare while protecting the blade from corrosion, ensuring consistent performance across a wide range of conditions.
Comfort and control are central to the Compact Clearance Knife’s design. The entire perimeter of the handle, along with select areas of the blade that contact the hand, is machine beveled to reduce abrasion and improve comfort when used without gloves. An oversized finger choil provides enhanced control for more intricate cutting tasks, allowing the user to choke up on the blade with confidence. The jimped thumb ramp supports positive pressure and precise handling, helping maintain stability during detailed or forceful cuts.
The handle scales are crafted from USA-made Ranger Green G-10 and ergonomically contoured to reduce hot spots and fatigue. Their texture provides a secure grip without being overly aggressive, making the knife comfortable during extended use. Steel Torx fasteners keep the scales firmly secured, ensuring long-term durability. At the rear, a purpose-built crusher pommel adds striking capability, ideal for tasks such as breaking glass, while a slotted lanyard hole allows for paracord attachment and additional carry security.
Carry and retention are treated as essential components of the system. The injection-molded, single-column sheath is precision formed for secure retention and easy cleaning. Designed to integrate seamlessly with modern loadouts, it’s compatible with both belt carry and PALS/MOLLE mounting. Halfbreed places equal importance on the sheath and the blade, ensuring the carry solution complements the knife’s performance rather than limiting it.
The Compact Clearance Knife Ranger Green is presented in Halfbreed’s signature foam-lined case, complete with a warranty statement, certificate of authenticity, specifications card, morale patch, and vinyl logo sticker. With a 2.95-inch blade, 6.69-inch overall length, and a solid, confidence-inspiring feel, this knife proves that compact tools can still deliver serious capability.
