The HalfBreed Compact Field Knife 01with a stonewash drop point blade is a masterclass in modern utility and rugged performance. Designed to handle tough environments and demanding tasks, this fixed blade delivers a perfect balance of strength, control, and compact carry. Whether you’re heading into the backcountry, working around the jobsite, or simply want a no-nonsense tool you can count on, this knife checks all the right boxes.
At the core is a 4.01-inch drop point blade forged from high-grade Böhler N690 stainless steel—a material known for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and impressive toughness. The .16-inch blade thickness adds heft and durability, allowing for confident use in carving, slicing, batoning, or precision tasks. A rugged stonewash finish adds not only a striking, low-glare appearance but also helps minimize visible wear, making this knife look clean and ready even after heavy use.
Thumb jimping along the spine gives you precise control for detail work and pressure cuts, while the overall design offers excellent ergonomics for both forward and reverse grips. It’s the kind of knife that disappears in your hand when you’re working, but always feels reassuringly solid and balanced.
The skeletonized full tang design extends into the handle, which is also constructed from stonewashed Böhler N690 stainless steel. It’s sleek, ultra-durable, and features added jimping to enhance grip and handling, even in wet or gloved conditions. If you’re the kind of user who likes customizing your tools, the minimalist handle also allows for easy wrapping with paracord or similar materials for added texture and style.
Measuring 8.07 inches overall and weighing only 3.35 ounces, this knife is incredibly light for its size and strength. It’s easy to carry without feeling bulky, and its lean profile makes it just as suitable for belt carry as it is for stowing in a pack or mounting to gear.
The knife comes with a tough, black injection-molded plastic sheath that’s molded precisely to the blade for a snug, secure fit. It includes an Ulti-Clip for discreet, low-profile attachment to pockets or gear, as well as a DOTS belt attachment system for versatile, secure carry on your belt or vest. Whether you prefer scout carry, vertical, or horizontal orientation, this sheath system has the adaptability to meet your needs.
With its sleek build, premium materials, and no-frills functionality, the HalfBreed Compact Field Knife 01is built for real-world performance. It’s a go-anywhere, do-anything fixed blade that offers reliability in every cut and rugged charm in every detail.
