FOX The Spirit Karambit Knife Black Aluminium, Black N690Co (FX-599 ALB-1)

The Spirit Karambit Black Aluminum, Black is a precision-engineered tool, designed for both everyday use and demanding field tasks. The distinctive Hawkbill profile blade, made of Bohler N690Co steel, ensures maximum cutting performance. The hardened steel with increased corrosion resistance and exceptional edge retention guarantees effectiveness even with intensive use. The blade is covered with a black coating that minimizes light reflections and increases abrasion resistance. The ergonomic handle made of anodized aluminum alloy ensures a secure grip in any situation, and the integrated ring supports dynamic blade control. The knife can be opened in three ways: blade-quick, flipper, Emerson Wave and hole in the blade. The proven Liner Lock mechanism stabilizes the blade in the open position, eliminating the risk of accidental closure. Robustness, functionality and excellent workmanship - these are the features that distinguish The Spirit Karambit.

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 extremely effective for cutting - it mimics the way an eagle's claw or a tiger's claw tears. Used as a working knife and for defense.

Emerson Opener (Emerson Wave) patented by Ernest Emerson, a hook on the back of the blade that allows the blade to be opened quickly when removing the knife from a pocket by hooking the pocket edge with the hook.

N690Co - corrosion-resistant, high-carbon 1.07% (C), martensitic chromium steel 17.30% (Cr) with added molybdenum 1.10% (Mo), vanadium 0.10% (V) and cobalt 1.50% (Co) for structural homogeneity. It is characterized by extremely high corrosion resistance and long edge retention. One of the best tool steels in the world today. It reaches a hardness of 57-60 HRC. Manufactured by Böhler Edelstahl in Kapfenberg, Austria.

Blade - with an aggressive hawkbill profile, the rounded blade shape is characterized by its great cutting efficiency and speed. The hawk bill profile mimics the tearing action of an eagle's talon or a tiger's claw, piercing and cutting at the same time. The plain blade has an ultra-thin tip and perfect curvature for maximum cutting efficiency. The Emerson Wave hook forms a ramp on which you can rest your thumb when using the knife. The knife can be opened with the Emerson Wave hook, a flipper, or an oval hole in the handle, suitable for use with gloves. The lock is a proven and reliable liner lock.

Handle - grips made of aluminum, a durable metal resistant to mechanical damage and chemicals. It is decorated with a graphic motif depicting a dragon. The open-backed design reduces weight and simplifies cleaning. Spine jimping - cuts on the back of the handle for improved grip. Clip (left/right) for carrying the knife in tip-up position with the tip facing up. Handle ends with finger ring (back ring) which makes it easier to rotate the folder around your finger, enabling you to perform traditional techniques. It can also be used as an improvised window breaker.

Additional accessories - the set includes an additional clip, fixing screws and a Torx screwdriver.
