Built for those who appreciate functional craftsmanship with unmistakable visual character, the Half Face Blades Ishi blends compact utility with premium materials in a striking presentation piece. This configuration pairs rugged Black and Coyote G10 accents with a vivid Red/Gold True-Stone inlay and richly figured Spalted Tamarind wood, creating a handle that feels as refined as it is capable.
At the core is an acid-etched CPM-S45VN stainless steel blade — a high-performance steel known for exceptional edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The dark acid finish gives the blade a subdued, field-ready appearance while highlighting the grind lines and handcrafted feel that Half Face Blades is known for.
Sized for everyday carry yet substantial enough for hard use, the Ishi excels as a versatile fixed blade for hunting, camp tasks, travel kits, or daily utility. The ergonomic handle offers a confident grip with layered textures and natural wood warmth, making each knife uniquely individual thanks to the organic grain patterns of the Spalted Tamarind.
Whether displayed in a collection or carried in the field, this Ishi represents the intersection of American craftsmanship, premium materials, and purpose-built performance.
