The Half Face Blades Disaster Cub Copper Camo Carbon Fixed Blade Knife delivers compact utility, tough American steel, and distinctive styling in a purpose-built everyday carry design. Measuring 7 inches overall, this fixed blade features a 3.1-inch blade crafted from American CPM 3V tool steel with a thickness of .16 inches. Its Armor Black Cerakote finish complements the Copper Camo carbon handle, creating a striking contrast between the dark blade and patterned scales. Designed for everyday utilitarian use, the Disaster Cub brings practical proportions and thoughtful construction together in a compact package.
The CPM 3V American tool steel blade is valued for its exceptional toughness and resistance to chipping, making it a strong choice for users who appreciate durable cutting tools. Its 3.1-inch reverse tanto blade profile provides a reinforced tip geometry suited to tasks that benefit from added point strength. The .16-inch blade thickness gives the knife a substantial feel while maintaining a compact format for daily use. An Armor Black Cerakote finish adds a protective surface coating and a low-profile appearance that pairs naturally with the handle's copper-inspired camouflage pattern.
The Copper Camo carbon handle gives the Disaster Cub its distinctive character. Carbon-based handle materials offer a modern look and are valued for their strength and lightweight construction. The textured grip helps provide traction and control during handling, while the Allen bolt hardware adds a functional mechanical detail to the design. Together, the dark blade, patterned scales, and purposeful hardware create a knife that stands out without losing its practical focus. An included Kydex sheath provides a durable carrying solution, helping keep the knife protected and accessible for everyday utility.
Half Face Blades was founded by Andrew Arrabito, whose appreciation for dependable tools 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 helped shape the company's guiding philosophy: a blade must do more than look good; it must perform when it matters. As Arrabito explains, “Every time I sharpened steel under fire or under stars, I asked myself: if this tool failed, what else could I rely on?”
That belief continues to define Half Face Blades. Veteran owned and operated, the company proudly makes its knives in the USA, emphasizing purpose, integrity, durability, and practical craftsmanship. Its tools are designed for military professionals, hunters, outdoorsmen, and everyday users who value equipment built with intention. Half Face Blades also gives back, with a portion of sales supporting charities and foundations honoring those who've served and sacrificed.
With American CPM 3V steel, an Armor Black Cerakote blade, Copper Camo carbon scales, a textured grip, Allen bolts, and a Kydex sheath, the Half Face Blades Disaster Cub delivers compact utility with distinctive American-made craftsmanship.
