Just a follow-up on the facts regarding Halfbreed blades
1. Country of Origin: How products are not made in Taiwan, they actually comprise both Australia and Taiwan make. Please see blow as stated on our website:
Where is it made?
Halfbreed Blades Australia is a production knife and tool company, comprising a fusion of Australia and Taiwan make. Our fixed blade and folding blade knives and hand tools are designed, developed, hand-finished, quality control checked and packed in Australia. CNC waterjet cutting, machining and grinding, together with our proprietary heat treatment and coating are completed at our production facilities in Taiwan. Machining and hand-finishing in Australia includes but is not limited to sharpening, polishing, fitting and assembly. Materials used in the manufacture of our products are sourced from Austria, Japan and the United States, this includes the steels utilized in the construction of our tools, G10 and Micarta® applied to handles and Kydex® molded in the fabrication of our sheaths. Halfbreed Blades is proudly 100% Australian owned and operated.
2. We use 222 on most of our fittings to secure the scales but use 243 for larger knives (including the LSK and LBK models) design to be used for chopping and batoning, this ensures they don’t come lose under hard use in the field etc.
3. D2: The steel we use is premium Austrian made Bohler K110. The specs are on the website and on the card included with the tool.

Great overview. I love the look of this knife and I think I’m gonna buy one.
Absolutely amazing knife
I don't know how but at the end of an Army Kukri video this popped up. The kukri supposedly made in Nepal not Australia so little confused but that is a great looking big blade. That would probably kill a car. Very cool.
Halfbreed knives are actually made in Australia. Just to be clear.
I would never get a fixed blade this big, but if this came in a version that’s half this size, and less than $100, I’d consider it!
BIONICK MAN we could send you an empty box for $100, possibly a carry system😉
I think his point is the blade is way over priced for the materials used.
Great for general office carry.
Pull that beast out and slice your sandwich in half or peel an apple at your desk and watch the crowd disperse. It's cool, and big as 'f'.
I have no need for a fixed blade , but she's a Beaut!
Bubba Peppers LBF-01 Large Bush Folder coming soon😉
@@halfbreedblades niiiice...
Good looking stuff, @@halfbreedblades. Keep 'em coming!
We really look forward to seeing the folder, on LTK's Channel here.
I didn't realize Arizona had any bush to speak of.
woptucci The Coconino National Forest is home to the largest stand of Ponderosa Pine trees in the world. It is one of six National Forests in Arizona and covers 1.8 million acres of varied landscape and elevation.
@@LuvThemKnives Thank you for the edification and shame on me for not knowing as I have traveled through the northern part of the state all be it 20 years ago and realize Arizona is not just one big sandbox especially around Flagstaff which if I recall is at 6000' or so. Thanks for straightening me out on the matter and I actually would like to see some of Northern Arizona and southern Utah in the near future as it has been a long time.
Bit late, but just a little fun fact. Australia gets more snow than Switzerland!
I find any coating will rub off in some manner,they all suck,if it's a steel that'll rust it buys you some resistance but use it in any manner and it'll eventually wear out.
real dlc is pretty damn tough for a coating and I've only been able to remove it by blasting.
Un cuchillo k me gusta mucho pero no me lo puedo permitir copiaré diseño y lo haré yo
What other company ships with that good of packaging and presentation? ships with both tech lock and molle attachments and with a firesteel attachment and their knives come razor sharp with no manufacturing imperfections.
Hey Lee, Nothing wrong with some D2 done right, especially Twosun's. We have become steel snobs. I can only speak for myself and those I know personally, we will never utilize the full abilities of any super steels doing the tasks we do with knives, 440 stainless would probably handle most of it. When M390 was considered a steel only on the real nice blades, oh yes, I was panting for one, now I have a ton, but now I consider S35VN to be my fav all around steel, I really like D2 also, especially after I started doing my own sharpening. That's a nice looking bush blade. I only have bottom end knives when it comes to fixed, I keep saying I'll get a nice one, but I haven't taken the time to do the research yet, too many folders on my list, and the list is growing, fast.
1. I guarantee you this D2 isn't 'done right'. I don't even know what that means for this type of knife, run it at a HRC of 56? Run of the mill D2 done right on fixed blades is usually prybar-thick stock w/ obtuse grind angles which is what this looks like. It also isn't an ideal steel for this heavy chopper vs a Twosun folder.
2. D2 is not terrible, but is also super cheap. Twosun's 14c28n is better than its D2, and 14c is a budget steel. D2 doesn't even cut that long, let alone it's chippiness. D2 has the same toughness as 440c and 10v, lol. There's cut tests by outpost76 and supersteve proving all this.
@@maulstik Hey Maul, I'm not trying to disagree here, or maybe my knife uses aren't as heavy as yours. D2 is an in-expensive steel, we all know that, and that keeps a lot of prices lower, but I have knives I've owned for over 40 years, (I'm 66) and they all still work just fine, not matter what steel. I've never had a knife I needed to just throw in the trash, because somebody could use it, I'd sell it or give it away. My point is a lot of these expensive steels have just become cool to own, and not really necessary for the user, just knives for people with more money to spend, and that's great, people have the right to spend where they do, some people have half million dollar cars, but my $30 thou car does the job also.
Looks like the kabar ifb Dropbox point....
Not sure how long ago, but they have a folder out now.
Gorgous!
Well I broke down and ordered one of these. I really didn't need another knife with this profile. I actually have that very well covered. For instance I own a Scar Blades Papa Bear. I also have a few knives made by Treeman or better known as Behring made along with a Swamp Rat Rodent 6 and a few Busse knives. I also own several Randall made ( Bo Randall before he passes away) . Martin of Texas who both Newt and his father made and sent to Australia years ago. Really good guys.
Anyway I went off subject a bit. I really like the design of the LBK-01 so much I ordered it. I almost went after a folder LBF which I believe may be discontinued? But I also think the LBF is a bit over kill and sorry to say IMHO overpriced. I know the materials are there with good blade steel as well as titanium scales and all. But I already have a Extrema Ratio RAO II which is one of the strongest knives on the market especially when that cross pin is put into place. Extrema Ratio has one flaw they are fugly.. Seriously fugly knives!
And when you said someone mentioned they would not pay the much for D2 and you showed a bunch of Medford knives. They probably would pay that much for a Medford either.
As for the teflon coating. Here is what I know. Powder coat is the worst. Then teflon ( which performs better going through wood like batoning ) and then many of your gun coats.
Cerakote however if it is done right is probably the best coat you can get. I have veryi limited knowledge when it comes to titanium coated. So I have no idea where it would be jn this mess?
Thank you once again kind sir for the upload .
You sound like Matt Lukin from Mudhoney
Awesome review if you end up selling this I will take it off your hands.
It says usa kydex and usa micarta. But it doesnt say where its made. Do you know where its made?
polarweiß Check the FAQ section on their website.
Reminds me of an msk 1 knife only bigger. In looks not sure about function. I've beat my msk1 to pieces bought a second one impressed would love to see this match up.
I BOUGHT THIS KNIFE BECAUSE IT RESEMBLED MY ALL TIME FAV BK2 SHORT thick…I’VE SKINNED OUT BUNNIES WITH THE BK2 AND IF YOU KEEP EM RAZOR SHARP THERES NOTHING I CANT DO WITH IT THAT IS SHORT KNIFE TERRITORY..AND I CAN STILL CHOP AND BUILD ANYTHING WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT BREAKING IT…SO I’M THINKING THIS THING WILL BE A SUPER bk2….WISH ME LUCK🫵🤪🫵🏿
Ordered!
I genuinely believe this is a mall cop blade. One on patrol with a golf cart. Lord knows he wouldn't hip that on a beat. The sheath is stellar however. Serious carry requires a multi purpose tactical blade. Not this axe ego brick.
James Barisitz It’s a bush knife. Probably not intended for LEO carry !!! Lol !
@@LuvThemKnives Got my tan Vexer and tried the Sapphire blue Rit dye. It's blurple now and looks great. This one flips and folds superbly. Thanks for the great reviews. I'm not ordering black g10 on anything from now on thanks to you!👌
@James Barisitz : lol 😆 you don't know me at all. I work in the Ghetto as a Security Officer, and I don't carry a Gun 🔫 !
You sir HAVNT spent much time in the wild…..THIS IS UP THERE WITH THE BECKER BK2,A CELEBRATED OUTDOOR KNIFE…CHOPS…AND STILL CA DO SMALL CHORES…SKINNING,FIRES ETC …. WATCH ‘DUTCH BUSHCRAFT KNIVES’ VID ON IT…(I’m probably trying to justify spending $300.00 plus on it) BUT THE TRUTH IS…THIS IS AN INDESTRUCTIBLE,CAPABLE BACKWOODS TOOL…PEACEOUT
Unfortunately, the blade was weakened by making 3 holes next to each other (lashing holes + bolt hole), a basic design flaw.
If you want to sell or trade this knife I would be interested. Thank you for your review
Five and 1/2 minutes of unpacking details before you even show D2 steel ....not surprising 'cause of the black blade coating.
Looks like trash and there's no way it's worth what they're asking for it.
300 dollars for a D2 bladed knife is NOT something I'd waste my money on. I don't care what kind of goodies they put in the box. That knife is a waste of purely because of the shit steel it's made of.
Not a bad looking knife, but I wouldn't pay that much for D2 steel.. what a gimmick and a rip off...
