Karambit - A type of knife that was born in Indonesia with roots dating back to Malaysia and the Philippines. It is characterized by a finger ring and a sickle-shaped blade, which is very effective in cutting - it mimics the way an eagle or a tiger's claw is torn apart. Used as a work knife and for defense.
Emerson Opener (Emerson Wave) A hook patented by Ernest Emerson, placed on the spine of the blade, allowing for quick opening of the blade when removing the knife from the pocket by hooking the hook to the edge of the pocket.
N690Co - high carbon stainless steel with cobalt addition for structural uniformity. Hardened in the range of 58-60 HRC. Manufactured in the Austrian Böhler-Uddeholm steelworks.
Blade - with the Hawkbill profile, the rounded shape of the blade is characterized by great cutting efficiency. The profile mimics the way an eagle claw or tiger claw tears, piercing and cutting at the same time. The blade is covered with a matte sandblasted Bead Blasted coating. Smooth blade (Plain type) with an ultra-thin tip and perfect curvature for maximum cutting capacity. The oval cut in the blade has increased the hump of the thumb rest (ramp), which positions the thumb directly over the opening, allowing the knife to be opened quickly also with the glove. Blade blockade: Liner-Lock type.
Handle - claddings made of lightweight T6-6082 aircraft aluminum with texture for better grip. Open-backed design reduces weight, simplifies cleaning. Spine Jimping, notches on the back of the handle covers strengthen the grip. Fastening clip (left / right) for carrying the knife in the tip-up. The handle has a polished head with a ring (Back Ring) made of T6-6082 aviation aluminum. Makes it easy to rotate the folder around your finger, allowing you to perform traditional techniques.
