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 blade must do more than look good; it must perform when it matters. That commitment to purpose, integrity, and craftsmanship continues to influence the brand’s approach to knife design.
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 mission of service beyond the products it creates.
