Jared Wihongi - Jared Wihongi's life and career is based on the warrior spirit of his Maori ancestors. He has been practicing martial arts since the age of 10, and the Filipino knife fighting style for more than 20 years.

Karambit - a type of knife that originated in Indonesia, with roots in Malaysia and the Philippines. It is characterized by a finger ring and a sickle-shaped blade, which is characterized by great cutting efficiency. Hawkbill mimics the way an eagle's claw or a tiger's claw rips through, piercing and cutting simultaneously. Used as a working knife and for defense.

N690Co - cobalt-rich 1.65% (Co) corrosion-resistant, high-carbon 1.07% (C), martensitic chromium steel 17.30% (Cr) with molybdenum 1.10% (Mo), vanadium 0.10% (V). Developed to provide better wear resistance compared to the original Böhler N690 steel, but with higher cobalt (Co) content in its composition. It features exceptionally high corrosion resistance and long edge retention. One of the best tool steels in the world today. Hardened in the range of 58-61 HRC. Manufactured by Böhler Edelstahl in Kapfenberg, Austria.

Black Idroglider® Stone Washed - The blade has undergone a Stone Washed finish that masks minor scratches. Subsequently, the durability of the blade surface and cutting edge was enhanced with a scratch-resistant, matte black non-reflective protective coating made of PTFE. It ensures long life and resistance to rust.

Blade - Wharncliffe type solid with a thickness of 4 mm. Finished with a scratch-masking Stone Washed method and then coated with a black Teflon-based Black Idroglider® coating. Straight cutting edge and high flat grind (Flat Grind) gives excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. To maintain full control of the blade, the back of the blade is covered with an upper jimping, notched thumb rest.

Handle - non-slip textured grips for better grip. Made of G10 plastic, which is resistant to mechanical damage, chemicals, low temperatures. Non-conductive, prevents gloves from freezing to the covers. Fore Finger Groove, a deep cut under the index finger and a finger ring back ring / tail ring / pommel ring prevent the knife from slipping when the going gets tough. The ring is finished with an additional "spike" that allows you to perform many pressure techniques.

Sheath - made of Kydex® plastic. It protects against falling out and moisture, facilitates discreet carrying and quick retrieval of the knife. The holster is equipped with a handle that allows carrying on a belt or on a weapon.
