I have a couple of knives by Andy at Half Face Blades and they are remarkable.

Here is a Resco/ HFB combo set. Number 21 of 20... not a typo.

Dagger with a Brandon Webb designed RC.

And my EDC pneumo-spike with a canteen.

Bet you are sensing a theme here.

Bunch of photos are also posted in motivational and elsewhere of these amazing knives... by some others SH fans.

Show your stuff!

Cheers Sirhr

Nice....like Resco’s and love a good knife , so since seeing this I ordered a small Gulo Gulo for horizontal edc/work use. Pretty small but it’s legit length for work place required size....Tks for the lead.

Man, I've been looking at these knives for too long... I think it is finally time to buy one. Blade durability is g2g? I have never met anyone that owned one. I'm looking to use it as a hunting/skinning knife.

I use mine like a rented mule and I cannot say enough good things about it. The pictures I have posted are just the short story of where it has been and what it has done. The end of the elk scales have turned purple from all the blood. This is not a safe queen and Andy never intended his knives to be so. Buy one and get bloody.

Solid. I’m going to go for it! I’ll definitely post a picture when it happens!

Do you like the full size crow scout? I love your blade profile on that one. I don't know if the Crow Jr. might be too small.

I had them create that profile in the spec sheet years ago, now they call it the hybrid scout. For a working knife the full size is they way to go IMO. Could it be smaller for capping a skull yes, could it be bigger for batoning firewood yes. In this form it can and had done all of these things. If you are willing to wait and pay they will build your knife just like you want it. As far as I know mine is the only one out there, it was a six month wait but worth it. It comes down to how you plan to use it. Lots of smaller tasks Jr. Bigger stuff and Bushcraft stuff full size.

Thanks man, that’s helpful. I’ll see what blade drops they have here in the next two weeks. If nothing like that comes about, I’ll contact them and see how ordering one goes. I really appreciate the feedback.

So this just in, fellow HFB enthusiasts... Facebook is censoring HFB claiming that they are making weapons. Total B.S. They make fine art... chef's knives, hatchets... art in steel and wood and fiber and paracord...

If you have a FB account... Like HFB and say things about their art. Share their page and comment about how these veterans are true artists in metal. Share with your friends. If you are on other forums... create HFB threads and talk up their product.

I wasn't trying to promote Andy's work when I started the thread. But when FB starts censoring him and his hits drop from 1800 a day to almost zero and they accuse him of 'selling weapons' on Fakebook (which I am sure offends Zuckerweeniesteinbergowitz and his little commie censors) then I am all about spreading the word about a great company.

P.S. Blade drop earlier today... lots of good stuff on their site!

Cheers,

Sirhr

Why hide it it? The karambits, spikes and hawks are weapons for the most part. And yes, they do make beautiful works of art that are tools. I open their page everyday and marvel at the handle materials and the workmanship and artistry that takes.

Fuck Facebook, I wish every knife maker, gunsmith and anyone remotely related to firearms and related sports would just drop Facebook.

Some fresh Disaster Jrs are up. Want one bad. One thing that I’m afraid of, is I have very large hands. Most of the Jrs have finger grooves, and knives with these rarely fit my hand very well. I’m sort of a knife snob, and it’s all about how it fits and feels. One of these days he will put one up with smoother scales with no finger grooves, and that one will get a new home.
