Half Face Blades Disaster Folder, Anodized Black Aluminum Handle, 3.5″ S45VN Blade, Made in USA

Purpose-Built, Overbuilt, and Unapologetic

The Half Face Blades Disaster Folder is a hard-use, American-made folder built with the same mindset as the brand’s fixed blades. This is not a delicate EDC. It is a monolithic, integral-frame knife designed to take real work, hard grip, and long-term carry without compromise.

Featuring a 7075-T6 aluminum integral handle, a black nitride-coated CPM S45VN blade, and an integral button lock, the Disaster Folder blends modern materials with a brutally simple design philosophy. Everything here is intentional, strong, and meant to be used.

Note from Lone Star Knife & Supply

Half Face doesn’t design knives for glass cases. They build tools for people who actually carry and use them. The Disaster Folder feels solid the moment you pick it up, no flex, no nonsense. If you want a folder that feels closer to a fixed blade in confidence, this one delivers.

What Makes the Disaster Folder Stand Out

• Black Nitride Blade Coating, durable, low-glare finish built for wear resistance

• Type III Hard Coat Anodizing, adds durability and abrasion resistance to the handle

• Dimpled Grip Texture, improves control without being aggressive
