Collection: Karambit Knives

A karambit is a fixed blade knife or a folding knife with a curved blade that’s used for close quarters combat. Karambits have evolved into one of the best self-defense weapons. Karambit knives are valued for their precise cuts, high degree of retention and suitability for nearly every challenge, job or task. In self defense application, a karambit's curve offers the ability to fluidly attack and counter in a single motion and to change movement direction with ease. It also allows simulataneous striking from multiple lines of attack and readily enables hooking, trapping, ripping, and slicing. An experienced karambit wielder can also use a karambit knife to control an opponent's limbs and direction of force. Even if you can’t see your intended target because it’s behind your opponent (like a kidney or hamstring), the karambit's curved blade can still reach because it can be "wrapped around" the body to strike with accurate, devestating results.
