Karambit | Silver/Red | Tac Force – Hawkbill folding knife

This karambit-style folding knife features a distinctive hawkbill blade shape made from 3Cr13 stainless steel. The knife combines an aluminium handle with a liner lock mechanism, weighing 150g with an overall length of 196.9mm when open.

Construction and materials

The blade measures 63.5mm in length with a characteristic curved hawkbill profile and plain-edge grind. The handle construction uses aluminium with a silver and red finish. When folded, the knife measures 133.4mm, making it pocket-portable. The 3Cr13 steel provides basic corrosion resistance and ease of sharpening.

Application and use

The hawkbill blade shape excels at pulling cuts, making it suitable for cutting rope, webbing, cardboard, and similar materials. The curved design is less effective for push cuts or heavy-duty tasks. Common applications include package opening, light utility work, and specialized cutting tasks where the hook shape provides mechanical advantage.

Integration and compatibility

The liner lock mechanism secures the blade in the open position. The folded length of 133.4mm fits standard pockets. The plain-edge grind allows for straightforward sharpening with conventional whetstones or sharpening systems without specialized equipment.

Maintenance and lifecycle

The 3Cr13 steel requires minimal maintenance due to its stainless properties but benefits from regular cleaning and light oiling. The plain-edge configuration simplifies sharpening compared to serrated alternatives. The aluminium handle may show wear marks with intensive use.
