Half Face Blades Disaster Jr. Field Test and Review 

Thank you for proclaiming this brand. Took me a year to get one I have had it in use for about 2 yrs and I do love it. I won't say it's better than my bk River bravo but it is a functional and enjoyable blade.

Thank you for your honest review. I have been drooling over HFB knives but at the end of the day function is #1. As a collectible I'd still like to obtain a custom one.

Those finger grooves are for wacking things as hard as you can with the skull crusher(open tang).

I’ll agree with about having a kydex sheath that is felt lined. I think they suck. I’ve have the felt lining come unglued from the kydex. However a good quality leather sheath can offer just as much retention as a good kydex sheath. If a leather sheath doesn’t have good retention then most of the time a person can wet form them to the knife.

How about some tops and condor budget hard use tests? Large and bushcraft?

In general I think HFB are too thin. A mm more and they would be great.

Looks ok! 🇺🇸 🇳🇿

the review is mainly why you would have liked something else for your purposes :)

I’ve owned winklers, hfb, and bark river for years. I think aside from materials, simpler is almost always better. Bark river shines this way. And the felt/suede lined sheaths have caused me more problems than regular kydex. I honestly prefer leather. I’m still pulling hog hair out of my winkler sheath lol

I have always had a problem with the exposed tang rear finger guard’s and/or pointy or sharp rear tangs...
