Midnight | Takumitak – Karambit knife for precision cutting

The Midnight is a fixed-blade karambit knife featuring a distinctive hawkbill blade shape. This 3Cr13 stainless steel knife measures 22.86cm in total length with a 12.06cm blade. The black oxide finish provides corrosion resistance while maintaining a professional appearance.

Construction and materials

The blade is manufactured from 3Cr13 stainless steel with a hardness rating of 56 HRC. The plain-edge grind combined with the hawkbill blade geometry creates an aggressive cutting angle. The knife features a black handle and includes a plastic sheath for storage and transport.

Application and use

This karambit design excels at pull-cutting motions, making it suitable for cutting rope, textiles, and fibrous materials. The curved blade shape provides enhanced control for precision work in crafting, outdoor activities, and specialized cutting tasks where standard straight blades prove less effective.

Integration and compatibility

As a fixed-blade knife, this model requires no opening mechanism or locking system. The included plastic sheath provides basic retention for belt carry or storage. The curved design and specific grip requirements make this less suitable for general EDC applications compared to conventional folding knives.

Maintenance and lifecycle

The 3Cr13 steel offers reasonable edge retention while remaining easy to sharpen. The black oxide coating provides additional corrosion resistance beyond the base stainless steel properties. Regular cleaning and drying after use will maintain optimal performance.
