The Half Face Blades Gula Gula Black G10 delivers compact performance, premium American steel, and a purpose-driven design built around reliability. With its distinctive acid-etched blade, black G10 handle, and durable construction, this fixed blade reflects Half Face Blades’ commitment to creating practical tools that earn their place in your gear collection. Whether it’s used for outdoor tasks, camp preparation, hunting-related chores, or everyday cutting needs, the Gula Gula combines capable materials with a straightforward, functional design.
Measuring 7.2 inches overall, the Gula Gula features a 3.1-inch blade crafted from S45VN American steel. This premium stainless steel is valued for its edge retention, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance, offering dependable performance across a range of cutting applications. The acid-etched finish gives the blade a distinctive appearance, setting it apart from conventional finishes while complementing the knife’s dark, understated style. At .15 inches thick, the blade offers a substantial feel in a compact format that’s easy to incorporate into a fixed-blade setup.
The black G10 handle is built for durability and dependable handling. Known for its strength and resistance to moisture and environmental wear, G10 is a practical choice for a knife intended to see regular use. A textured grip helps provide traction and control, while the Allen bolt construction adds a clean, purposeful detail to the handle. The combination of black G10 and the acid-etched blade creates a restrained, tactical appearance without sacrificing the practical character of the knife.
A Kydex sheath provides a durable way to protect and carry the blade when it’s not in use. Its compact dimensions make the Gula Gula a versatile addition to an outdoor kit, hunting gear, or fixed-blade collection, while its premium steel and thoughtfully selected handle materials support its work-focused design.
Half Face Blades was founded by Andrew Arrabito, who grew up hunting, camping, and fishing in Northern California. After high school, he joined the Navy and went on to serve with the SEAL Teams. His experiences in demanding operational environments helped shape the company’s guiding philosophy: a knife must do more than look good; it must perform when it matters. That emphasis on purpose, integrity, and dependable craftsmanship remains central to the brand.
Veteran owned and operated, Half Face Blades makes all its knives in the USA. The company also donates a portion of its sales to charities and foundations that honor those who’ve served and sacrificed, connecting its commitment to quality tools with a broader mission of service.
