Karambit - a type of knife that originated in Indonesia, with roots in Malaysia and the Philippines. It is characterized by a finger ring and 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 - a high-cobalt 1.65% (Co), corrosion-resistant, high-carbon 1.07% (C), martensitic stainless steel with 17.30% chromium (Cr), and additional elements such as molybdenum 1.10% (Mo) and vanadium 0.10% (V). Developed to provide superior wear resistance compared to the original Böhler N690 steel, it features an increased cobalt content of 1.50% (Co) to enhance structural uniformity. It is known for its exceptional corrosion resistance and long edge retention. Considered one of the best tool steels in the world, it is hardened to a range of 58-61 HRC. Manufactured by Böhler Edelstahl in Kapfenberg, Austria.

Blade - Hawkbill type, coated with a scratch-masking black Top Shield® coating. Plain blade allows for efficient cuts with the entire cutting surface as well as the ultra-thin tip. high, flat grind (Flat Grind) gives excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. To maintain full control of the blade, there is a notched thumb rest on the back of the upper jimping wedge. The protruding "spike" allows the application of painful pressure on vital points or the use of advanced disarming techniques.

Handle - non-slip textured grips with triangular holes for better grip. Made of G10, a virtually indestructible plastic that is insensitive to weather, resistant to chemicals and mechanical damage. Chamfered edges on the covers eliminate sharp edges and textured surfaces improve grip confidence. Fore Finger Groove, a deep cut for the index finger, and a finger ring back ring / tail ring / pommel ring prevent the knife from slipping when the going gets tough.

Sheath - made of Kydex® plastic. It protects the knife from falling out and moisture, facilitates discreet carrying and quick retrieval of the knife. The holster is equipped with Ulticlip clips that allow you to carry the knife on your belt or on your shoulder pad.
