Karambit Knives

A karambit is a small, curved fixed blade with a finger ring built into the handle, originating from Southeast Asian martial arts traditions. Our Damascus karambit knives keep the traditional curved profile and finger-ring grip, forged from layered steel with a G10 handle and Kydex sheath.

Frequently Asked Questions

A karambit's curved blade and finger-ring handle are designed for close-in cutting and control, giving a very secure retention grip that's hard to disarm. Outside self-defense contexts, the curved edge also works well for utility tasks like cutting rope or fabric.
