Karambit Silver | Honshu – curved hawkbill combat knife

The United Honshu Karambit Silver is a traditional Southeast Asian fighting knife featuring a distinctive curved hawkbill blade design. Made from 7Cr13 stainless steel with a satin finish, this 170g karambit measures 22.22cm in total length with a 10.16cm blade.

Construction and materials

The blade utilises 7Cr13 stainless steel, offering reasonable corrosion resistance and edge retention. The hawkbill blade profile features a plain-edge cutting surface ideal for pulling cuts. The chrome coloured handle incorporates the characteristic finger ring for retention, while the satin finish on the blade provides durability and aesthetic appeal.

Application and use

This karambit serves primarily as a martial arts training tool and collector's piece. The curved blade design excels at hooking and pulling motions common in Southeast Asian fighting systems. The finger ring allows for secure grip during dynamic movements and prevents loss during training scenarios.

Integration and compatibility

The knife includes a plastic sheath designed for shoulder carry, enabling quick deployment. The ergonomic handle accommodates various grip styles essential for karambit techniques. No additional mounting hardware or adapters are required for standard carry configurations.

Maintenance and lifecycle

The 7Cr13 steel requires regular cleaning and light oiling to maintain optimal condition. Sharpen at 20-25 degree angles for best performance. Store in the provided sheath when not in use to protect the blade edge and prevent moisture accumulation.
