The LBA-01 (Large Breaching Axe) from Halfbreed Blades, is a tactical axe made ready for extreme use as an impact/MOE tool. Designed for military personnel and first responders who require a full-size axe, the LBA-01 is capable of devastating performance in the most demanding of environmental conditions.
The primary cutting head of the LBA-01 is razor-sharp and the spike at the business end of things is specifically designed for extreme penetration/demolition of most common industry building materials including light steel and brick. Break chain links, defeat deadbolts, puncture steel radial tyres or cut panels from car doors - nothing stands between you and your objective with the LBA-01.
Slightly tapered and suitably textured G10 handle scales offer a virtual full handle encapsulation for maximum double-handed grip, whilst remaining comfortable during prolonged use. The extended and exposed handle pommel can be utilised as a pry and incorporates dual lanyard holes for the attachment of a small carabineer or rope lanyard.
The LBA-01 is expertly constructed from Austrian K340 tool steel. Bohler K340 has since proven itself operationally as resilient, rugged and reliable steel for hard use applications.
Features:
- One-piece full tang construction.
- Austrian made 8mm Bohler K340 tool steel. The entire tool is overbuilt for outstanding longevity.
- Proprietary heat treatment process enhances the resilience of Bohler 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 colour options.
- Faceted tanto spike and blade design are optimized for long 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.
- Handle scales are secured by steel torx fittings.
- Chisel pommel ideally suited for breaking glass and prying 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 LBA-01 sheaths are PALS/MOLLE compatible and come supplied with two primary attachment options including Belt & PALS/MOLLE.
- To complete the package, the LBA-01 is presented in our signature foam lined presentation box complete with warranty statement, certificate of authenticity, specifications card, morale patch, and vinyl logo sticker.
