Karambit - a type of knife that originated in Indonesia, with roots in Malaysia and the Philippines. It is characterized by a finger ring and sickle-shaped blade, which is characterized by great cutting efficiency - imitates the way an eagle claw or tiger claw tears. Used as a work knife and for defense.

Emerson Opener (Emerson Wave) Ernest Emerson's patented hook on the back of the blade allows for quick opening of the blade when removing the knife from a pocket by hooking the hook over the edge of the pocket.

Steel

ELMAX - the highest quality modern powder tool steel of the third generation. It is characterized by high carbon and chromium content and, thanks to the metallurgical process, exceptionally fine grain structure and uniform carbide distribution. It provides extreme edge retention, high wear and corrosion resistance. Manufactured in Böhler-Uddeholm, Austria.

Blade

Aggressive Hawkbill type, rounded blade shape has great cutting efficiency and speed. Plain blade with ultra thin tip and strongly curved edge finished with black Top Shield® anti-reflective coating. The blade is locked in place with a thick titanium Frame Lock at the end of which a steel liner is attached to prevent wear on the lock face.

Handle

Asymmetrical, on one side deeply textured carbon fiber cover, on the other the same Carbon Fiber and being the basis of the lock a piece of solid titanium anodized in bronze color. The facings are screwed to a backspacer made of a single piece of aluminum and finished with an enlarged polished head, the Back Ring. It facilitates rotating the folder around the finger, allowing to perform traditional techniques. Two-position titanium clip allows the knife to be carried in tip-up position.
