The Half Face Blades Senator Fixed Knife delivers compact performance with premium materials and a distinctive look that stands out in the field or in a collection. It’s part of the lineup from Half Face Blades, the U.S.-based knife company founded by former Navy SEAL Andrew Arrabito. Known for producing American‑made tactical and outdoor knives built with high‑end materials and practical design, Half Face Blades focuses on tools that combine reliability, durability, and precision craftsmanship.
The Senator is designed as a compact utility and everyday carry fixed blade that offers excellent control and dependable cutting capability in a streamlined size. Measuring 7.7 inches overall with a 3.7-inch blade and a .14-inch thickness, it provides a solid balance between maneuverability and strength. Knives in this category are often favored by outdoorsmen, hunters, and everyday carriers who want the reliability of a fixed blade without the added bulk of a larger field knife.
Its balanced proportions allow the knife to excel at detailed cutting tasks while still maintaining the durability needed for tougher work. Whether you're handling camp chores, breaking down game, or tackling everyday cutting tasks, the Senator delivers controlled performance in a carry-friendly package.
At the core of the knife is CPM S45VN stainless steel, a premium American powder metallurgy steel widely used in high-end knives. S45VN is known for offering an excellent combination of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. This well-rounded performance allows the blade to maintain sharpness through extended use while still standing up to demanding conditions in the field.
The blade is protected by a Cerakote finish, a ceramic-based coating commonly used on tactical equipment and firearms. Cerakote enhances the blade’s resistance to corrosion, abrasion, and environmental wear while also giving it a subdued, non-reflective appearance that complements the knife’s tactical design.
One of the most striking features of this configuration is the Nebula Carbon handle scales. Nebula carbon fiber is a premium composite that blends layered carbon fiber with colored resin to create a swirling, galaxy-like pattern. Each handle features unique variations in color and pattern, making every knife visually distinct while maintaining the lightweight strength and rigidity carbon fiber is known for.
The handle incorporates a textured grip pattern designed to improve traction and control during demanding cutting tasks. Even in wet conditions or while wearing gloves, the textured surface helps keep the knife firmly planted in your hand.
The handle scales are secured with titanium Allen bolts, providing a strong mechanical connection to the full tang while delivering corrosion resistance and long-term durability.
A custom-fitted Kydex sheath completes the package, offering secure retention and dependable carry whether worn on a belt or attached to outdoor gear.
