The Karambit is an ancient form of a knife from Indonesia and the Philippines. It reminds a little of a sickle and is ideal for opening of packages and packaging. Karambit has the meaning: claw of the Tiger. In addition to the curved shape of the blade, the ring is a design feature at the end of the handle. This ring, which will host the little finger, prevents accidental dropping or losing the knife. These properties made the Karambit to an attractive tool for the rural of Indonesia (for the harvesting of fruit, caps from ropes, picking herbs, etc.).

The Karambit combines 3 tools in one: knife, combat knife, and self defense knife.
