Having a martial arts background, Joshua Swanagon has done some training with the karambit and is a fan of finger hole style knives and their prowess in combative applications. However, also being an avid outdoorsman, he has found them to be less than ideal as field utility blades. So he set out to make a knife that could combine those disciplines and decided to call it the C.U.T. 4.0 (Combat Utility Tool).

It is a combative knife with a utility style blade for field use. The curved handle and finger hole of a karambit provide superior comfort during combative use, and a traditional drop point blade profile is ideal in the field. The aggressive tip provides for maximum penetration, allowing the C.U.T. 4.0 to penetrate heavy fabrics much easier, while also being useful for drilling chores during fieldcraft tasks.

The C.U.T. 4.0 was designed with professional personnel in mind, but will also make a great EDC for civilians and martial artists who like the multi purpose knife.
