Half Face Blades. It AIN’T your daddy’s Randall

I got a look inside the new Half Face Blades shop in San Diego to see how founder and former SEAL Andrew Arabito turns combat experience into steel. This isn't a sales pitch—just a gear head's look at how they’re growing the brand and whether the tools actually live up to the hype. We’re breaking down the lineup, from the Disaster Junior I’ve been beating up for weeks to a custom Scalper handle made of giraffe bone—a material so rare and tough it’s basically the "ivory of the working man." I’m getting into the weeds on the ergonomics, doing some DIY antiquing on the hardware to make it look right, and putting these blades under a Rockwell hardness tester to see if the heat treat is on the money. If you like overbuilt tools and honest talk about where these knives shine (and where fall short), pull up a chair. BEST WAYS YOU CAN SUPPORT THIS CHANNEL: Like, Subscribe, Hype and Comment.
