The Half Face Blades Ringstrike Midnight Bronze Cerakote is a compact fixed blade that combines a distinctive bronze finish, a machined Rockwork handle, and durable A2 tool steel in a streamlined design. Built around a low-profile form, this knife reflects Half Face Blades’ commitment to purposeful craftsmanship and dependable materials. Its dark bronze appearance and precision-machined details give it a distinctive look while keeping the overall design focused on function.
Measuring 5.5 inches overall, the Ringstrike features a 1.7-inch blade with a thickness ranging from .19 to .20 inches. The blade is crafted from A2 tool steel, a well-established carbon tool steel valued for its toughness and wear resistance. A Midnight Bronze Cerakote finish adds a rich, subdued bronze tone while providing a protective coating for the blade surface. Both sides of the blade are sharpened, giving the Ringstrike a double-edged profile that distinguishes it from conventional single-edge fixed blades.
The machined Rockwork handle contributes texture and visual character, complementing the bronze finish with a rugged, carefully worked surface. Its compact proportions are designed for low-profile carry, making it suitable for discreet carry where lawful or attachment to a plate carrier as part of a larger gear setup. A Kydex sheath is included to help protect the blade and provide a practical storage solution when the knife isn't in use. With its small footprint and purposeful construction, the Ringstrike fits naturally into a carefully organized gear collection.
Behind the Ringstrike is the philosophy of Half Face Blades, founded by Andrew Arrabito. Raised hunting, camping, and fishing in Northern California, Arrabito developed an early appreciation for dependable equipment and the demands of the outdoors. 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 central principle: a blade must do more than look good; it must perform when it matters.
Half Face Blades is veteran-owned and operated, and every knife is made in the USA. The company emphasizes purpose-built design, integrity, durable materials, and attention to detail. It also gives back, with a portion of sales supporting charities and foundations honoring those who've served and sacrificed. That commitment to craftsmanship and responsibility remains central to the brand.
