Product Information

Perfect for demonstrations, martial arts or disarmament exercises but without the risks that come with dealing with real knives. If you’re holding your karambit in a proper reverse grip, the blade should be pointing downwards with the blade edge facing out. Some models have the wave-like feature where it works as an auto-deploy once pulled out of the pocket, and once deployed, works as a hook.

Also known as the standard grip, the forward karambit knife grip is one of the most practical and is the one you’ll likely use the most often. Karambits didn’t make their way to America until the early 1900’s, where they were seen as a novelty than anything else.The fact that the beveled edges are not just on one side, means you can explore these trainers as single or double edge which can broaden your knowledge and understanding of what these knives can do. It provides excellent edge retention and is a good choice for a karambit that will be used for heavy-duty tasks. Then again, if you’re packing a knife like this, local regulations are probably the least of your worries. The karambit is held with the blade pointing downward in a reverse grip configuration, either curving forwards or backwards. It allows you to put a lot of power behind your blade because your thumb can press down and steady the knife.

The blade, single or double-edged, of a karambit is the most important part of the weapon, and the quality of the blade will determine its overall effectiveness. Cutting taught ropes or cloth can also be done effectively using a quick horizontal karambit knife strike. Once you have the proper equipment for learning how to use a karambit knife, the next thing is just to practice.The karambit is here to stay, and it’s hard to argue with a knife design that’s still going strong after several hundred years. The king of the karambit is easily Steve Tarani, and in his book Karambit: Exotic Weapon of the Indonesian Archipelago , he points out why these knives work. Sam Anderson has followed a passion for well-told stories and nature's beauty from university classrooms to mountain adventures.

When using your karambit knife, you can break everything you do into three main categories: grips, transitions, and striking techniques. Cold Steel’s Tiger adopts the traditional Indonesian Karambit shape with an AUS-8A full tang blade and Kray-ex scales. The curved blade rips as well as cuts, and the protrusion ring facilitates a secure grip and doubles as a brass knuckle. Hence the requirement that it only comes out when absolutely necessary to protect your life and the lives of those you love. The karambit can either be held with the handle in the fist – what’s referred to as the “retracted position” – or it held with the blade extended, the “extended position.He has worked as a chainsaw operator, house carpenter, and window cleaner, at one point running his own window cleaning business. Ultimately, the karambit shape is tactical; the knife constitutes a self defense advantage with its ripping capacity and finger ring for grip security as well as function.
