Overview
FEATURES
Redesigned Karambit, Made for Everyday CarryThis updated Karambit blends the classic finger ring and curved silhouette of a traditional Karambit with the broad, forward-weighted blade of a recurve cleaver. The finger ring allows for a fast draw and a locked-in grip, keeping you prepared. Its refined, flowing arc offers a smoother, more versatile profile than older, more aggressive karambit designs.
Compact EDC, Built for VersatilityEngineered as a compact, everyday folding knife, it boasts an overall length of 6.61" (168 mm) with a 2.19" (55.5 mm) blade, making it a perfect pocket companion. It delivers powerful cutting performance, precise control, and expanded utility for a huge range of tasks, from food prep to general daily cutting.
Puzzle-Pattern Grip & Secure RingThe handle features a deeply milled puzzle pattern that provides exceptional visual texture and a reliable, non-slip grip in any condition. The integrated finger ring secures your hand, enabling positive four-finger control in both forward and reverse grips. It's available in Chocolate Glacier Richlite, Purple PC, and Black G10, offering a unique look with long-lasting comfort and durability.
Total Grip SecurityMulti-point jimping is strategically placed on the blade spine, handle, and the hooked finger ring for maximum control and anti-slip performance in all conditions. The hooked ring design enhances both retention and comfort. Dual lanyard holes enable you to attach a paracord lanyard after the knife is open, locking the knife into your hand and preventing slips during intense use in either grip position.
