Doug Marcaida - a master of Filipino martial arts, a juror on the popular show "Forged in Fire". Creator of his own distinctive line of white weapons, knives that, capture the spirit of Filipino martial arts. The distinctive triangles on the Handle grips allude to the main principles of fighting in the FMA.

Karambit - a type of knife that originated in Indonesia, with roots in Malaysia and the Philippines. It is characterized by a finger ring and a sickle-shaped blade, which is characterized by great cutting efficiency. Hawkbill mimics the way an eagle's claw or a tiger's claw rips through, piercing and cutting simultaneously. Used as a working knife and for defense.

M390 Microclean® - a martensitic high-performance chrome steel produced by powder metallurgy. Due to the alloy concept, it has extremely high wear resistance and high corrosion resistance. Due to its high wear resistance, it adequately maintains the shape of the edge, so the blade stays sharp for a very long time (requiring minimal maintenance). Another of the advantages is resistance to the formation of "wire" during sharpening. The steel has a high chromium content of 20.0% (Cr) doped with 1.9% carbon (C), vanadium 4.0% (V), hardened between 59-61 HRC, subjected to vacuum and cryogenic treatments and double tempering. This super steel is comparable to Carpenter's CPM 20CV or CTS-204P steels. Manufactured by Böhler Edelstahl in Kapfenberg, Austria.

PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) - the resistance of the surface of the wedge and cutting edge is enhanced by a vacuum deposition method used to deposit thin films by condensing an evaporated form of the desired material onto the surface of the workpiece. The coating method involves a purely physical process such as high-temperature vacuum evaporation followed by condensation. The applied coating has a very high hardness which significantly increases the resistance of the blade to rust and abrasive wear.

Blade - Hawkbill type, covered with a scratch-masking black PVD coating. Plain blade allows for effective cutting with the entire cutting surface as well as the ultra-thin tip. high, flat grind (Flat Grind) gives excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. To maintain full control of the blade, there is a notched thumb rest on the back of the upper jimping wedge. The protruding "spike" allows the application of painful pressure on vital points or the use of advanced disarming techniques.

Handle - non-slip textured grips with triangular holes for better grip. Made of damage-resistant, chemical-resistant, low-temperature titanium. Fore Finger Groove, deep cut for index finger and back ring / tail ring / pommel ring prevent the knife from slipping when the going gets tough.

Sheath - made of Kydex® plastic. It protects against slipping and moisture, facilitates discreet carrying and quick retrieval of the knife. The holster is equipped with Ulticlip clips that allow you to carry the knife on your belt or on your shoulder pad.
