Introducing the LBF-01 Gen-2 by Halfbreed Blades, the most recent addition to their LBF (Large Bush Folder) series which has become globally recognised as a family of rugged folding knives.
As the foldable companion to their top-performing LBK-01 fixed blade, the LBF-01 Gen-2 has been praised as the ultimate "pocket tank".
In fact Halfbreed Blades states "It's important to note ... this knife is not your typical gentleman's pocket knife. Given its overall length, weight, material selection, and construction specifications, the LBF-01 Gen-2 is exclusively intended for the most dedicated and hardcore users."
Staying true to its tested and proven design, the LBF-01 Gen-2 folder is built for resilience and precision, and is engineered to serve the demanding needs of military personnel, emergency responders and outdoor adventurers. It's also likely to catch the eye of collectors who value high-quality tools.
The LBF-01 Gen-2 takes craftsmanship to a new level, combining precise engineering with a wealth of thoughtful features.
Made from premium USA made 5.5mm CPM 3V steel which provides an easily maintained razor-sharp polished cutting edge, this version introduces exclusive innovations including Halfbreed Blades' proprietary, patent-pending LINQ lock.
On first use of your LBF-01 Gen-2 the premium, high-tensile spring in the LINQ lock mechanism will feel intentionally stiff. Halfbreed Blades notes that you should initially expect to feel some resistance as the blade overcomes the spring tension during opening and closing, but after a typical break-in period the spring will set, allowing for a smooth blade deployment and secure lockup that lasts for the lifetime of the tool.
The grip jimping and concave thumb recess at the top of the ring ensure a secure hold and optimal application of downward force.
The LBF-01 Gen-2 is tailored for exceptional durability and versatility, and is available in a range of G10 handle colours to match individual style and environmental considerations, including Ranger Green, Dark Earth, Sapphire Blue, Cherry Red, Hi-Viz Orange, Jade Green, and classic Black.
