FKMD - Folding Karambit

The Karambit is a utility 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 gardening sickles. The ring at the end of the handle allows for hands-free work with the knife without having to put it down, reducing the risk of loss, which is a significant advantage, especially in maritime environments. Today, however, the ring at the end of the handle is more commonly used for sport, for example in various Filipino martial arts such as Pencak Silat or Filipino Kali, to spin the knife around the little finger.

Ernest Emerson was a pioneer for the renaissance of this type of knife. He is also the originator of 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 pulled from the pocket. The blade of the FKMD Folding Karambit is made from N690 and features a black coating. It is opened via thumb hole or Emerson Wave and is reliably locked by a sturdy liner lock. The handle scales are made of textured G10 and always sit securely in the hand thanks to the ergonomic design. With clip (Tip-up/r).
