CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Cavner from Half Face Blades is a striking fixed blade that blends elite-level performance with showpiece-worthy design. Founded by retired Navy SEAL Andrew Arrabito, Half Face Blades crafts “go-to” tools built to perform under the most demanding conditions, and the Cavner is no exception. Measuring 9.2" overall, it carries a 4.2" CPM S45VN stainless steel blade known for its exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. The 0.15" thick blade provides the strength for heavy work while maintaining slicing precision.
The handle is a work of functional art, combining dyed redwood, black G-10, and aluminum with forest green G-10 pin striping. Glow-in-the-dark G-10 elements aren’t just for looks—they add a unique, practical touch, allowing the knife to be quickly located in low light or complete darkness. These glowing accents contrast beautifully against a black with white web Tru-Stone split, creating a handle that’s both visually stunning and highly functional. Mosaic pins add refinement, while a copper lanyard pin and textured grip ensure secure handling even in harsh environments.
The Cavner comes housed in a suede-lined black Kydex sheath, offering protection, retention, and quick deployment when needed. It’s a knife that transitions seamlessly from backcountry survival to display-worthy collector’s piece—built in the USA for those who demand the very best.
