The Half Face Blades Tosahwi Fixed Knife is a compact, purpose-built field blade designed to deliver dependable performance without unnecessary bulk. Part of the lineup from Half Face Blades, a U.S.-based knife company founded by former Navy SEAL Andrew Arrabito, the Tosahwi reflects the brand’s focus on American-made craftsmanship and practical tools built for real-world use. Whether it’s carried in the field, on a hunt, or as a dependable camp companion, this knife combines premium materials with a design that emphasizes control and efficiency.
Measuring 8.1 inches overall with a 4-inch blade and a .12-inch blade thickness, the Tosahwi strikes an excellent balance between maneuverability and strength. The blade features a classic drop point utility profile, a shape widely respected for its versatility. Its strong tip provides durability for piercing tasks, while the curved cutting edge excels at slicing, making it particularly effective for skinning, field dressing, and general outdoor work. The size allows for precise control during detailed cutting while still providing enough blade length for heavier tasks when needed.
At the core of the knife is CPM S45VN stainless steel, a premium American powder metallurgy steel known for delivering an impressive combination of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. S45VN maintains sharpness through extended use while standing up to demanding conditions, making it a trusted choice for high-end performance knives.
The blade is finished with Armor Black Cerakote, a ceramic-based protective coating widely used on tactical gear and firearms. This finish enhances resistance to corrosion, abrasion, and environmental wear while giving the blade a subdued, non-reflective black appearance. The coating also adds an extra layer of durability, helping the blade maintain its performance and clean look during hard use in the field.
The handle features black canvas micarta scales, a material known for exceptional durability and grip. Canvas micarta is created by layering fabric with resin under high pressure, resulting in a handle material that performs extremely well in outdoor environments. It offers reliable traction in both wet and dry conditions and resists moisture, temperature changes, and long-term wear. Over time, micarta can develop a subtle patina from use, giving the knife a unique character that reflects its time in the field.
A textured grip pattern is incorporated into the handle to further enhance control, ensuring the knife stays secure in your hand even during demanding cutting tasks. The scales are fastened with titanium Torx bolts, providing a strong mechanical connection to the full tang while offering corrosion resistance and long-term durability.
The knife is paired with a fitted Kydex sheath, providing secure retention and dependable carry for field use.
