Black Karambit | MTech XTreme – Folding karambit knife with hawkbill blade

The Black Karambit from MTech XTreme is a folding knife featuring the characteristic hawkbill blade design. This karambit weighs 236g and incorporates a finger ring for enhanced control. The blade is made from 3Cr13 steel with a black finish.

Construction and materials

The knife features a 6.35cm hawkbill blade with plain-edge grind. Total length when open is 19.05cm, folding down to 12.7cm for pocket carry. The 3Cr13 stainless steel provides basic edge retention and corrosion resistance. A liner lock mechanism secures the blade during use.

Application and use

The hawkbill blade shape excels at pulling cuts through rope, cardboard, and plastic. The curved blade draws material inward for controlled cutting. The finger ring provides positive retention during use, making it suitable for EDC carry and outdoor activities where grip security matters.

Integration and compatibility

This folding karambit works as a standalone cutting tool requiring no additional accessories or mounting systems. The liner lock allows one-handed operation. At 236g, it's heavier than typical EDC folders but the closed length of 12.7cm fits standard pockets.

Maintenance and lifecycle

The 3Cr13 steel requires regular maintenance to prevent corrosion. Monthly oiling is recommended. This steel grade sharpens easily with standard whetstones but requires more frequent sharpening than premium steels. The black coating may show wear with intensive use.
