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 experience in demanding operational environments helped shape the company’s core philosophy: a blade must do more than look good; it must perform when it matters. That commitment to purpose, integrity, and craftsmanship continues to define the brand.
Veteran owned and operated, Half Face Blades makes all its knives in the USA. The company also supports charities and foundations honoring those who’ve served and sacrificed, extending its commitment to service beyond the tools it creates.
