Half Face Blades Congressman Dark Desert Ironwood 3.8in Plain Armor Black Spear Point HFCONGDKDI

The Half Face Blades Congressman Dark Desert Ironwood is a knife that merges elegance with readiness, offering a handcrafted balance of natural beauty and uncompromising strength. Designed with precision and purpose, this fixed blade is made for those who appreciate the craftsmanship of a traditional knife, yet demand modern materials and tactical performance in one refined package.

The heart of the Congressman is its 3.8-inch spear point blade, made from premium CPM S45VN stainless steel. This American-made steel is a powerhouse in edge retention, corrosion resistance, and overall durability—an ideal choice for a knife that’s meant to be used and relied on. The spear point design is sleek and symmetrical, with a fine-tuned tip that excels at piercing and detailed work, and a gentle curve along the edge that makes slicing clean and efficient. It’s a well-rounded shape that brings both strength and finesse to every cut.

The Black Armor Cerakote finish gives the blade a smooth, non-reflective tactical coating that also boosts resistance to wear, moisture, and abrasion. This finish adds a rugged, understated aesthetic while keeping performance at the forefront, whether you’re in the field, on the job, or simply living life with a tool you can trust.

Where the knife truly makes a statement is in the handle. Crafted from richly toned Dark Desert Ironwood, it brings a depth and character that synthetic materials simply can’t match. The natural grain patterns vary from piece to piece, making each handle one of a kind. It’s finished smooth for comfort and control, with just the right contour to fill the hand without being bulky. The hidden tang design allows the beauty of the wood to shine, uninterrupted by hardware, while still maintaining structural integrity and balance.

Steel Allen bolts provide rock-solid assembly, and the addition of a lanyard hole adds utility for retention or personal customization. At 8 inches overall with a .15-inch blade thickness, the Congressman feels solid and capable without being overbuilt. It’s the kind of knife that disappears on your belt but commands attention in use—fast, responsive, and confident in the hand.

Each knife comes with a molded black Kydex sheath and belt clip, offering secure retention and quick access when needed. Whether you’re moving through the backcountry or just want a trusted blade close at hand, the sheath system keeps the Congressman protected and ready.

Proudly made in the USA, the Half Face Blades Congressman Dark Desert Ironwood represents the spirit of American craftsmanship: bold, functional, and built to last. It’s more than just a knife—it’s a tool forged from experience and refined for everyday life.
