Maserin Karambit 42014/G10N Knife Black G10, Stonewashed 420

Maserin Karambit Black G10, Stonewashed 420 – folding knife with a Hawkbill blade and ring

The Maserin Karambit 42014/G10N Black G10, Stonewashed 420 folding knife is a folder featuring a curved Hawkbill blade, black G10 grips, and a distinctive ring at the rear of the handle. The design combines a Liner Lock, two manual opening methods, and a steel clip for right-side carry in the tip-up position.

The hollow edge helps keep the material being cut on the blade, making it well-suited for working with ropes, straps, packaging, and fibrous materials. Finger grooves, textured G10, and a rear ring provide additional hand support and enhance control over the knife.

AISI 420 – easy-to-maintain stainless steel

The blade is made of AISI 420 stainless steel. This material offers good corrosion resistance and allows the edge to be resharpened relatively easily. After use, the blade should be cleaned, thoroughly dried, and periodically treated with a knife maintenance product.

Hawkbill, Plain Edge, and Stonewashed

The Hawkbill profile is characterized by a strongly curved, hollow blade line and a lowered tip. This geometry helps grip the material and prevents it from slipping off the edge during cutting. The Plain Edge allows for controlled cutting, while the Stonewashed finish minimizes the appearance of fine scratches and scuffs.

Black G10, Liner Lock, and Karambit Ring

The black G10 handle features a textured surface and finger grooves that enhance grip stability. The Liner Lock secures the blade in the open position, while the steel backspacer integrated with the ring provides an additional point of control and reduces the risk of the handle slipping out of your hand.

Technical Data

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I care for AISI 420 steel?

After use, clean the blade of dirt and moisture, then dry it thoroughly. Before long-term storage, you can apply a thin layer of preservative, especially after contact with water, salt, or food.

How to sharpen the hollow edge of a Hawkbill?

For sharpening, it is best to use a narrow ceramic rod, a conical sharpening stone, or a system designed for hollow geometry. Guide the blade evenly, maintaining the original angle along the entire length of the curve.

How does the Liner Lock work?

When fully opened, the spring-loaded liner bar slides under the base of the blade and stabilizes it during use. To fold the knife, slide the bar to the side and carefully retract the blade.

What is the ring on the Handle for?

The ring provides an additional point of support for your hand, makes it easier to draw the knife, and reduces the risk of the handle slipping out of your grip. It should be used in a calm and controlled manner, without making any sudden twisting motions with the knife.

How do you clean a G10 handle?

The grips can be washed with water, a mild detergent, and a soft brush. Pay special attention to textured surfaces, the ring, the areas around the pivot and the lock, and dry the entire knife thoroughly after cleaning.
