Halfbreed Blades LBF-01 Gen-2 Folding Knife

The LBF-01 Gen-2 is the latest evolution in the LBF Series—Halfbreed Blades’ globally respected lineup of uncompromising folding knives. Built as the folding counterpart to the legendary LBK-01 fixed blade, the LBF-01 Gen-2 delivers the same battlefield-grade performance in a compact, pocket-ready format.

This is not a casual everyday folder. The LBF-01 Gen-2 is a heavy-duty field utility knife, purpose-built for military professionals, emergency responders, serious outdoor users, and dedicated EDC enthusiasts who demand absolute reliability from their gear.

Engineered with near-indestructible toughness in mind, the LBF-01 Gen-2 combines premium materials, precision machining, and innovative design features to create a folding knife that performs under the harshest conditions. Every detail—from the blade geometry to the locking mechanism—has been designed to withstand extreme use while maintaining control, safety, and cutting efficiency.

Due to its size, weight, materials, and construction, the LBF-01 Gen-2 is intentionally overbuilt. This knife is designed for hardcore users only—those who understand and appreciate uncompromising tools made without shortcuts.
