The LRA-01 (Large Rescue Axe) from Halfbreed Blades, is a tactical axe made ready for extreme use as an impact/MOE/Rescue tool. Designed for military personnel and first responders who require a more compact axe, the LRA is capable of devastating performance in the most demanding of environmental conditions.
The primary cutting head of the LRA-01 is razor-sharp and the spike at the business end of things is specifically designed for penetration. The LRA's pommel is well suited for hammering and incorporates a large lanyard hole for the attachment of a carabineer or rope lanyard, whilst the G10 clad handle has been designed for multiple handhold positions to suit single or double-handed use.
Some of the tasks we expect you will use our LRA-01 for include chopping, hammering, digging, cutting, as a climbing aid, defeating locks, smashing windows & windscreens and raking out their frames, puncturing steel radial tyres, smashing steel clad doors and breaking through walls including those made of brick.
The LRA-01 is expertly constructed from Austrian K340 ISODUR tool steel. K340 has proven itself operationally as resilient, rugged and reliable steel for hard use applications. The LRA-01 is finished in a robust, low-viz Teflon coating.
Features:
- One-piece full tang construction.
- Austrian made 8mm Bohler K340 ISODUR tool steel. The entire tool is overbuilt for outstanding longevity.
- Proprietary heat treatment process enhances the resilience of K340 to shock, yielding exceptional performance.
- Easy to maintain razor-sharp cutting edge.
- Hard-wearing, low friction Teflon coating mitigates glare and protects against corrosion. Available in black, dark earth and ranger green solid colour options, and select duotone colour choices (detials listed with SPECS).
- Faceted tanto spike and blade design are optimized for medium range penetration and chopping tasks.
- US made G10 handle scales are ergonomically contoured for less abrasion with non-gloved hands.
- Bevelled edges. The entire perimeter of the handle and portions of the axe head controlled by direct contact with the hand are machine bevelled to reduce abrasion and increase comfort.
- Jimping at key points along the grip enhances handling characteristics.
- Handle scales are secured by steel torx fittings.
- Crusher pommel ideally suited for breaking glass and other hammering tasks.
- Pommel lanyard hole allows for paracord attachment.
- US made Kydex. We believe the carry system supplied with our tools is as important as the tool it protects. Each sheath is precision molded for secure retention and easy maintenance. A friction lock system holds the axe snugly in its sheath, added retention is offered via a quick release safety strap with press-stud. All LRA-01 sheaths are PALS/MOLLE compatible and come supplied with two primary attachment options including Belt & PALS/MOLLE.
- To complete the package, the LRA-01 is presented in our signature foam lined presentation case complete with warranty statement, certificate of authenticity, specifications card, morale patch, and vinyl logo sticker.
