A Kydex sheath provides a durable way to protect and carry the blade when it’s not in use.

From camp preparation to general utility tasks, it’s designed to serve as a dependable tool rather than simply a display piece.
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 principle: a blade must do more than look good; it must perform when it matters. That philosophy continues to guide the brand’s focus on purpose-built tools, integrity, and attention to detail.
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.
