Half Face Ishi Fixed Knife Desert Ironwood Black G10 and Copper Pin Striping Turquoise W/ Copper Split Tru Stone Split Mosaic Pins HFISHIDIBK

The Half Face Blades Ishi Fixed Knife Desert Ironwood Black G10 and Copper Pin Striping Turquoise W/ Copper Split Tru‑Stone Split is a compact powerhouse built for serious performance and striking craftsmanship. Designed and manufactured by Half Face Blades, the American company founded by former Navy SEAL Andrew Arrabito, the Ishi reflects a commitment to hard-use tools and exceptional materials. This knife blends practical cutting capability with custom-level aesthetics, making it equally at home in the field, on the belt, or in a serious collector’s lineup.

Measuring 7 inches overall with a 3.7-inch blade, the Ishi offers a size that’s ideal for everyday carry and detailed work. It’s compact enough to handle comfortably while still providing the strength and capability you expect from a full tang fixed blade. The blade features a versatile drop point profile that excels at precision cutting, field dressing, and everyday utility tasks. Whether you’re working through camp chores, preparing game, or tackling general outdoor jobs, the Ishi delivers control and durability you can rely on.

The blade is crafted from premium American CPM S45VN stainless steel, a high-performance steel known for its excellent edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. With a blade thickness of .14 inches, it provides the strength needed for demanding tasks while maintaining the slicing performance required for finer cutting. An acid etched finish gives the blade a distinctive, subdued look while adding an extra layer of protection against wear and corrosion.

Where this knife truly stands apart is in the handle construction. Desert Ironwood forms the primary handle material, prized for its density, durability, and naturally rich brown tones with dramatic grain patterns. This hardwood is highly resistant to moisture and wear, making it a favorite among custom knife makers. Black G10 liners provide structural strength and contrast, while copper pin striping adds a bold accent that separates the layers and enhances the overall design.

A striking turquoise Tru‑Stone section with copper split accents adds another layer of visual depth. Tru‑Stone combines natural stone and resin to create a durable composite that showcases vibrant color and metallic flecks. The handle is secured with decorative mosaic pins that highlight the craftsmanship and elevate the knife’s custom appearance.

Each Ishi comes with a durable Kydex sheath designed for secure carry and quick access. Built with a full tang construction and premium materials throughout, this knife delivers dependable performance while showcasing the artistry that has made Half Face Blades highly sought after.
