The Half Face Blades Tosahwi Fixed Knife is built for hunters, outdoorsmen, and serious knife users who want a dependable tool that performs when the work begins. Produced by Half Face Blades, the American company founded by former Navy SEAL Andrew Arrabito, the Tosahwi reflects the brand’s commitment to premium materials, field-focused design, and knives that are built to handle real-world use. Every element of this knife is designed with purpose, balancing cutting performance, durability, and control in a compact fixed blade platform.
With an overall length of 8.1 inches, the Tosahwi delivers excellent reach and capability while still maintaining a size that’s comfortable to carry in the field. The 4 inch blade offers the cutting length needed for a wide range of tasks while remaining maneuverable enough for detailed work. The blade profile follows a classic drop point utility design, featuring a strong tip and a generous belly that excels during slicing cuts. This shape makes the knife particularly effective for skinning, field dressing game, and general camp work where precision and control matter.
The blade is crafted from CPM S45VN stainless steel, a premium American powder metallurgy steel widely respected for its balance of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. S45VN is a favorite among serious knife users because it holds a sharp working edge through extended use while still maintaining the durability needed for demanding tasks. At .12 inches thick, the blade provides strength and stability while maintaining efficient slicing performance.
Protecting the blade is a Flat Dark Earth Cerakote finish. Cerakote is a ceramic-based coating designed to protect the steel from corrosion, abrasion, and harsh environmental conditions. The FDE color provides a muted tactical appearance that helps reduce glare in the field while adding another layer of durability to the blade surface.
The handle features black burlap micarta scales, a material widely valued in hard-use knives for its durability and dependable grip. Burlap micarta is created by compressing layers of burlap fabric with resin, producing a handle material that is extremely strong and resistant to moisture and temperature changes. Over time, micarta develops a subtle patina from use, giving each knife a slightly unique character.
Half Face incorporates its Iron Grip texture into the handle, a traction pattern designed to lock the knife securely into your hand during demanding work. Even when wet or while wearing gloves, the grip remains secure and confident.
Titanium Allen bolts secure the handle scales to the full tang construction, providing a strong mechanical connection while adding corrosion resistance and long-term durability. The knife comes paired with a durable Kydex sheath that offers secure retention and reliable carry in the field.
A hardworking field knife with clean tactical style, available at SMKW.
