Sleek, predatory, and utterly controlled — this 5-inch karambit marries old-world edgecraft with modern utility. The 1084 high-carbon blade holds a keen edge and responds to resharpening with honest reliability. Its deep arc channels power into a single sweeping motion, making slices clean and purposeful. Wrapped in matte black paracord, the handle softens the steel’s bite for hours of confident use while offering emergency cordage when needed. Whether kept for practical tasks or displayed as a piece of raw, functional art, it’s a knife that promises precision.
The karambit is a small, curved knife with a distinctive, hooked blade and a finger ring at the butt of the handle. It originated in Southeast Asia (notably Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines) and evolved from agricultural tools used for cutting plants and rope into a compact utility and defensive blade with a very recognizable silhouette.
