SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Halfbreed Blades LFK-01 Gen 2 Fixed Knife is a purpose-driven compact fixed blade designed to deliver serious cutting capability when space and weight matter most. Developed by Hardcore Hardware Australia, the LFK-01 was engineered as a fast-access backup blade that bridges the gap between bulky full-sized fixed knives and folders that may fall short under pressure. It’s built for professionals who need a dependable tool that carries easily without compromise.
At the heart of the LFK-01 is a full tang blade machined from 6mm Bohler K340 Austrian tool steel, heat treated to 59–60 HRC for outstanding toughness and edge stability. Measuring 2.75 inches long, the talon point blade offers exceptional strength at the tip while maintaining excellent control and maneuverability. The full beveled edge and plain polished cutting surface enhance slicing efficiency, while the black Teflon coating adds corrosion resistance and reduces visual signature. Spine jimping provides secure thumb control, allowing for precise work in close quarters.
Despite its compact footprint, the LFK-01 feels solid and authoritative in hand. The black G-10 handle scales are ergonomically shaped and non-slip, offering a confident grip even in adverse conditions. With a handle thickness of 0.78 inches, the knife fills the hand without feeling bulky, balancing comfort and control during extended use. The scales are secured with steel Torx hardware, reinforcing the knife’s hard-use construction. A glass-break pommel at the rear adds an extra layer of utility without complicating the design.
Weighing 6.17 ounces for the knife alone, the LFK-01 maintains a strong balance between durability and carry comfort. The included ambidextrous Kydex sheath features a friction lock system that secures the knife firmly while still allowing rapid access. It’s supplied with a DOTS USA Safe Lock belt mounting option, making it adaptable to a wide range of carry setups. With the sheath, total weight comes in at 9.59 ounces, keeping the package streamlined and efficient.
Influenced by the real-world demands of active-duty personnel, the LFK-01 Gen 2 is built with intent and discipline. Every element serves a purpose, resulting in a compact fixed blade that delivers reliability, control, and confidence wherever it’s carried.
Talon point design and Teflon-coated K340 steel deliver strength and precision in a small package. Available at SMKW.
