I have three versions of this Karambit, identical except for blade color; black, gold and metallic 'rainbow' :)

Karambits have been around for well over 10 centuries with a blade shape inspired by the claws of tigers. When anything lasts that long, there's generally a good reason for it.

Comments: The materials, workmanship and quality control of these karambits is excellent, especially at this price. Solid construction for hard use. Notice I take my own photos and measurements, add my own details - I sell what I own and can recommend. We have two of these in use here btw; one in my shipping & handling department that I use in place of a carton knife, the other my assistant uses gardening and weeding. See my Seller ratings and buy with confidence, plus I ship fast!

For self defense these karambits are small enough for boot, neck or pocket knife... please be aware of concealed weapon regulations in your state.

A multi-use knife designed for user safety, precision, and efficiency - karambits have a curved or hooked blade, an ergonomic handle, and typically at  least one finger ring. With an ergonomic design thousands of years old, said to have been inspired by the tiger’s claws, the lines appeal to our aesthetics on a deep level. They’re sleek, built for a purpose, and time tested. When it comes to every day carry (EDC), knife fighting, and self defense, few blades have the karambit’s long standing history of success.

The forbearer of the modern karambit first surfaced in Indonesia during the 11th century as a farming tool and utility blade. Due to Indonesia's thriving trade industry, the karambit quickly spread throughout Southeast Asia. Eventually, the blade developed strong roots in Malaysia and the Philippines, where it was used as a defensive and backup weapon as well as for every day chores. Over hundreds of years, the karambit became entrenched in the warrior culture. It’s now an iconic weapon associated around the world with the Southeast Asian martial arts.
