A Purpose-Built Folder with Serious Presence

The Half Face Blades Crow Folder is a full-size, hard-use folder built around strength, simplicity, and American machining. Featuring a monolithic integral aluminum frame, integral button lock, and a black nitride–coated CPM S45VN blade, this knife is designed to handle real work while maintaining clean lines and excellent carry balance.

The Crow’s grenade-stippled grip texture adds secure traction without excess bulk, and the OD Green hard-coat anodized handle gives it a rugged, utilitarian aesthetic that fits its mission-focused design.

Note from Lone Star Knife & Supply

This is one of those knives that feels honest the moment you pick it up. No unnecessary parts, no gimmicks, just solid materials and thoughtful execution. The integral frame gives it incredible rigidity, and the balance makes it surprisingly comfortable for a knife of this size. Supporting American-made folders like this is how we keep innovation and craftsmanship alive here at home.
