Half Face Blades was founded by Andrew Arrabito, whose connection to the outdoors began during his childhood hunting, camping, and fishing in Northern California. After high school, Arrabito joined the Navy and went on to serve with the SEAL Teams. His overseas deployments and operational experience shaped a clear philosophy: a blade must do more than look good; it must perform when it matters. As Arrabito puts it, “Every time I sharpened steel under fire or under stars, I asked myself: if this tool failed, what else could I rely on?”
That mindset remains central to the company's approach. Veteran owned and operated, Half Face Blades proudly makes its knives in the USA, focusing on purpose-built tools that emphasize integrity, durability, and practical craftsmanship. Its products serve military professionals, hunters, outdoorsmen, and everyday users who want equipment designed with a clear purpose. The company also supports charities and foundations honoring those who've served and sacrificed, giving a portion of sales back to meaningful causes.
With American S45VN stainless steel, black canvas Micarta scales, a textured grip, Allen bolt hardware, and a Kydex sheath, the Half Face Blades Congressman delivers functional design backed by American craftsmanship.
