The Half Face Blades Karambito Fixed Knife Turquoise Rocky Wave Carbon with Armor Black Cerakote is a compact tactical blade built for control, durability, and distinctive American craftsmanship. Designed by Half Face Blades, the U.S. company founded by former Navy SEAL Andrew Arrabito, this knife reflects a commitment to high-performance tools that stand up to demanding environments. Combining premium materials with a purpose-driven design, the Karambito delivers serious cutting capability in a compact, easy-to-carry package.
Measuring 7.1 inches overall with a 3-inch blade, the Karambito is built for close control and fast handling. Its compact size makes it well suited for everyday carry, field tasks, and tactical applications where maneuverability matters. The blade profile is engineered to provide excellent piercing strength and slicing capability, giving users the precision needed for detailed cutting work while still maintaining the toughness required for hard use.
The blade is crafted from American CPM S45VN stainless steel, one of the most respected high-performance steels available today. Known for outstanding edge retention, corrosion resistance, and durability, S45VN ensures the knife stays sharp through repeated use while standing up to demanding conditions. With a blade thickness of .15 inches, the Karambito offers impressive strength without sacrificing cutting efficiency. The blade is finished with Armor Black Cerakote, a protective coating that enhances corrosion resistance while giving the knife a tough, low-profile tactical appearance.
The handle features a striking Turquoise Rocky Wave Carbon construction that delivers both strength and visual impact. Carbon fiber is widely valued for its lightweight durability, and the rocky wave pattern adds depth and texture to the design. The vivid turquoise tones contrast sharply with the dark Cerakote blade, giving the knife a distinctive look while maintaining the performance qualities required for serious use. A textured grip pattern ensures the handle remains secure in the hand during demanding cutting tasks.
Titanium Allen bolts secure the handle scales in place, adding both durability and corrosion resistance while reinforcing the knife’s solid construction. The full tang design runs the length of the handle, providing the strength and reliability expected from a hard-use fixed blade.
Each Karambito comes equipped with a durable Kydex sheath that holds the knife securely while allowing quick access when needed. Whether it’s carried in the field, on a belt, or as part of an everyday gear setup, the sheath keeps the knife protected and accessible.
