The Half Face Blades Ringstrike OD Green Cerakote is a compact fixed blade built around purposeful design, durable materials, and a distinctive field-inspired finish. Featuring a machined Rockwork handle, a double-edged A2 tool steel blade, and a streamlined profile, the Ringstrike reflects Half Face Blades’ commitment to functional craftsmanship. Its OD green Cerakote finish gives it a subdued appearance that pairs naturally with outdoor equipment and tactical-style gear, while its compact dimensions keep the overall design low profile.
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. An OD green Cerakote finish adds a distinctive green tone while providing a protective coating for the blade surface. Both sides of the blade are sharpened, creating a double-edged design that sets this model apart from conventional single-edge fixed blades.
The machined Rockwork handle adds texture and visual character to the Ringstrike’s compact frame. Its carefully worked surface complements the OD green finish, creating a cohesive look that emphasizes practical design over unnecessary embellishment. The knife’s low-profile construction is intended 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.
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 tools 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 guiding principle: a blade must do more than look good; it must perform when it matters.
Half Face Blades is veteran-owned and operated, with every knife made in the USA. The company emphasizes purpose-built design, integrity, durable materials, and careful craftsmanship. It also gives back, with a portion of sales supporting charities and foundations honoring those who've served and sacrificed. This commitment to practical performance and responsibility remains central to the brand.
