FKMD - Small Folding Karambit
The Karambit is a working knife that originated in the Malay Archipelago and was first documented in the 11 century with the ring at the end of the handle. The sickle-shaped blade is still used today in fishing knives or the so-called gardener's sickles. The ring at the end of the handle allows for "hands-free working" with the knife without having to put it down, reducing the risk of loss, for example, in a maritime environment. Today, however, the ring at the end of the handle is more commonly used in sports, such as in various Filipino martial arts like Pencak Silat or Filipino Kali, to rotate the knife around the little finger. Ernest Emerson was a pioneer in the renaissance of this type of knife. He also holds the patent for the so-called Emerson Wave, a small hook on the back of the blade that allows the blade to open simultaneously when drawn from the pocket. The blade is made from N690 and black coated. Handle scales made from non-slip G10. With liner lock mechanism and clip.
