The Half Face Blades Osoraku 4in Black G10 brings together premium American steel, durable handle materials, and purposeful design in a fixed blade built for dependable everyday performance. With its black G10 handle, textured grip, and distinctive acid-etched blade, this Osoraku delivers a clean, understated look backed by the practical craftsmanship Half Face Blades is known for. From outdoor adventures and camp chores to routine cutting tasks, it's designed to be a capable tool that earns its place in your gear.
The 4-inch blade is crafted from S45VN American steel, a premium stainless steel valued for its edge retention, corrosion resistance, and dependable cutting performance. Measuring .14 inches thick, the blade offers a solid balance of strength and cutting utility. Its acid-etched finish gives the steel a distinctive appearance, adding character to the blade while complementing the knife's dark, functional design. Whether you're preparing equipment at camp or taking care of everyday tasks, the Osoraku offers a practical combination of quality materials and thoughtful construction.
The black G10 handle is designed to withstand regular use while providing a stable, comfortable platform for control. G10 is a durable, moisture-resistant material well suited to outdoor environments, and the textured grip helps provide added traction in hand. Allen bolt construction adds a straightforward mechanical detail that fits the knife's no-nonsense aesthetic. Together, these features create a dependable handle designed around utility rather than unnecessary decoration.
Measuring 8.2 inches overall, the Osoraku 4in offers a useful blade length in a manageable fixed-blade package. It comes with a Kydex sheath for secure storage and convenient carry, keeping the knife protected when it's not in use. Whether you're adding a reliable tool to your outdoor kit or expanding a collection of American-made fixed blades, this Osoraku combines practical dimensions with a distinctive finish.
Half Face Blades was founded by Andrew Arrabito, whose childhood spent hunting, camping, and fishing in Northern California helped shape his respect for the outdoors and dependable equipment. After high school, Arrabito joined the Navy and went on to serve with the SEAL Teams. His experience in demanding operational environments reinforced a core principle: a blade must do more than look good; it must perform when it matters. Today, Half Face Blades remains veteran-owned and operated, with every knife made in the USA. The company prioritizes purpose-built design, integrity, and lasting craftsmanship, and a portion of its sales supports charities and foundations honoring those who've served and sacrificed.
