Karambit | Rood | Tac Force – Spring-assisted folding knife with hawkbill blade

This spring-assisted folding knife features a distinctive karambit design with a hawkbill blade shape. Constructed from 3Cr13 steel with a plain-edge cutting surface, this knife weighs 150g and incorporates a liner lock mechanism for secure blade retention during use.

Construction and materials

The knife measures 19.69cm when fully deployed, with a blade length of 6.35cm. When closed, it compacts to 13.34cm for pocket carry. The blade utilises 3Cr13 stainless steel, offering reasonable edge retention and corrosion resistance. The handle features a red finish with stainless steel construction.

Application and use

The hawkbill blade geometry excels at pull-cutting tasks, making it suitable for cutting rope, opening packages, and general utility work. The spring-assisted opening mechanism enables single-handed deployment via the thumb stud. This design suits everyday carry applications where controlled cutting motions are required.

Integration and compatibility

The liner lock system provides reliable blade lockup during use. The spring-assisted mechanism requires minimal force to deploy, functioning effectively even when wearing gloves. The curved blade profile may require adjustment for users accustomed to straight-edge knives.

Maintenance and lifecycle

The 3Cr13 steel requires regular maintenance to prevent corrosion. Clean the blade after use and apply light oil to the pivot periodically. The blade can be sharpened using standard sharpening tools, though the curved profile requires appropriate technique.
