High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Halfbreed Blades LFK-04 Gen 2 is a compact fixed blade engineered for fast access, superior cutting performance, and dependable control in situations where space and weight are limited. Designed by Hardcore Hardware Australia, this knife was built to serve as an easily accessible backup for active duty personnel, offering serious capability without the bulk of a full-sized fixed blade or the compromises of a folder. Its design bridges the gap between compact carry and functional strength, making it an ideal choice for tactical or duty applications where precision and reliability are paramount.
At the heart of the LFK-04 is a full tang blade machined from 6mm Bohler K340 Austrian tool steel, hardened to 59–60 HRC for long-lasting edge retention and strength. The black Teflon-coated tanto point blade offers exceptional tip durability while maintaining maneuverability for a variety of cutting tasks. Spine jimping on the blade enhances thumb control, allowing for confident handling and precise cuts when the situation demands. The full bevel edge treatment adds versatility, making the knife a reliable tool for both controlled and demanding applications.
The handle features contoured black G-10 scales, providing a secure, non-slip grip while remaining comfortable in extended use. The steel Torx screws ensure the scales are firmly attached for long-term reliability, and the integrated glass-break pommel adds an extra layer of practical utility without affecting balance or carry. The knife’s compact dimensions make it easy to carry where larger blades would be cumbersome, and its thoughtful design ensures maximum performance in a minimal package.
The LFK-04 is carried in an ambidextrous Kydex sheath, which includes a friction lock system to secure the knife in place while still allowing rapid deployment. DOTS USA belt mounting hardware provides flexible attachment options for belts, vests, or other gear platforms, making it simple to integrate into a wide range of carry setups. Every aspect of the LFK-04 reflects practical input from real-world use, ensuring it meets the demands of active duty personnel and the environments they operate in.
