CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Combat Dirt Nap from Half Face Blades is a purpose-driven fixed blade built with the precision and toughness demanded by those who work in the harshest conditions. Designed by Andrew Arrabito, a retired Navy SEAL and founder of Half Face Blades, this knife carries the company’s ethos of creating high-quality “go-to” tools that excel in both the field and the fight. At 8.5" overall, it strikes a perfect balance between maneuverability and reach, while its 4" CPM S45VN stainless steel blade delivers superior edge retention, corrosion resistance, and cutting performance. With a 0.15" thickness, it has the strength to handle punishing tasks while maintaining slicing finesse.
The handle showcases a striking blend of Afzelia wood, black G-10, and aluminum pin striping, split with desert ironwood and accented by dyed black ash. Mosaic pins secure the scales, while an aluminum lanyard pin and textured grip ensure the knife stays locked in hand, even during intense use. This combination of premium materials not only provides durability but also makes each knife a one-of-a-kind piece of functional art.
The Combat Dirt Nap comes with a custom-molded Kydex sheath for dependable retention and fast access, whether carried on a belt, pack, or tactical rig. Every detail is engineered with purpose, and every knife is proudly made in the USA to meet the uncompromising standards of its maker.
