With an ergonomic design thousands of years old, said to have been inspired by the tiger’s claws, the lines appeal to our aesthetics on a deep level. They’re sleek, built for a purpose, and time tested. When it comes to everyday carry (EDC), knife fighting, and self defense, few blades have the karambits long standing history of success. The forbearer of the modern karambit first surfaced in Indonesia during the 11th century as a farming tool and utility blade. Due to Indonesia's thriving trade industry, the karambit quickly spread throughout Southeast Asia. Eventually, the blade developed strong roots in Malaysia and the Philippines, where it was used as a defensive and backup weapon as well as for every day chores. Over hundreds of years, the karambit became entrenched in the warrior culture. It’s now an iconic weapon associated around the world with the Southeast Asian martial arts.
