The Half Face Blades Gula Gula Black G10 brings purpose-driven design, premium American steel, and a distinctive Midnight Bronze Cerakote finish together in a compact fixed blade built for demanding use. Combining a practical profile with durable materials and a secure grip, this knife reflects Half Face Blades’ commitment to producing dependable tools that perform in the field and stand up to everyday cutting tasks.
Measuring 7.2 inches overall, the Gula Gula features a 3.1-inch blade crafted from S45VN American steel. Known for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and overall durability, S45VN offers the performance expected from a premium knife steel. The blade’s Midnight Bronze Cerakote finish adds a distinctive appearance while providing an additional protective coating against wear and corrosion. With a blade thickness of .15 inches, this fixed blade delivers a solid, capable feel in a compact package that’s easy to incorporate into a regular gear setup.
The black G10 handle provides a durable foundation for confident handling. G10 is valued for its strength, moisture resistance, and ability to withstand demanding conditions, making it a practical choice for outdoor and everyday use. A textured grip enhances traction and control, while the Allen bolt construction gives the handle a clean, purposeful appearance. The contrast between the black G10 and the Midnight Bronze blade creates a sharp, understated look that suits the Gula Gula’s work-focused design.
A Kydex sheath completes the package, offering a durable carry solution designed to protect the blade when it’s not in use. Whether it’s part of an outdoor kit, a hunting setup, or a dependable fixed-blade collection, the Gula Gula delivers a balanced combination of compact dimensions, premium materials, and practical utility.
Half Face Blades was founded by Andrew Arrabito, whose early years hunting, camping, and fishing in Northern California helped shape his appreciation for dependable outdoor equipment. After high school, he joined the Navy and went on to serve with the SEAL Teams. His experiences overseas reinforced a simple principle: a tool must perform when it matters most. That philosophy continues to guide the company’s approach to purpose-built knives made with integrity and attention to detail.
Veteran owned and operated, Half Face Blades makes its knives in the USA and believes quality gear should serve a genuine purpose. The company also supports charities and foundations honoring those who’ve served and sacrificed, giving each purchase a connection to a mission beyond the blade itself.
