High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Half Face Blades Congressman is a fixed blade that blends precision craftsmanship with the rugged functionality demanded by professionals in the field. Founded by retired Navy SEAL Andrew Arrabito, Half Face Blades builds “go-to” knives designed to perform under pressure, and the Congressman lives up to that mission. Measuring 8" overall, this knife is compact enough for everyday carry yet substantial enough to handle demanding tasks. Its 3.8" CPM S45VN stainless steel blade delivers outstanding edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness, while the 0.15" thickness provides the durability to tackle hard-use situations without sacrificing cutting efficiency.
The handle is a striking combination of premium materials—carbon fiber, copper mesh, rubber, Micarta, and green resin—crafted for both performance and visual appeal. Copper pins and a copper lanyard pin tie the design together, while the smooth grip offers a secure, comfortable hold for extended use. The multi-material construction not only makes the Congressman visually distinctive but also ensures it stands up to the rigors of fieldwork, from the backcountry to the jobsite.
The knife comes with a custom-molded Kydex sheath that provides excellent retention and fast access, whether mounted on a belt, pack, or plate carrier. Proudly made in the USA, it’s built for those who expect a blade to work as hard as they do.
