The Karambit Knife traces its origins to Southeast Asia, where its distinctive curved blade design was inspired by the shape of a tiger's claw. Traditionally, the Karambit was used as a practical utility knife and agricultural tool. Over time, its unique profile and ergonomic finger ring made it one of the most recognizable fixed blade patterns among collectors and knife enthusiasts.
Modern handmade Karambit knives combine traditional blade geometry with premium materials and craftsmanship. Damascus steel versions are especially prized for their distinctive patterns and unique character.
