MTech Karambit Blue | SHOGUN

Karambit Blue | MTech – Compact karambit knife for everyday use

The Karambit Blue from MTech is a striking knife with a distinctive hawkbill design. This compact karambit knife is suitable for EDC and general use, featuring a blue coating that immediately catches the eye. The 3Cr13 stainless steel offers a good balance between affordability and functionality.

Experience from the Shogun team

During our test, the ergonomic grip stood out straight away – the finger ring provides extra security for precision work. The serrated blade performed well when cutting through rope and packaging material, although we noticed it needs sharpening more often than premium steel types.

Performance and sharpness of this knife

The 5.08 cm long blade is made from 3Cr13 steel – an entry-level steel that is corrosion-resistant and easy to sharpen. The serrated edge bites into fibrous materials such as rope and cardboard. For wood work, this knife is less suitable due to the curved blade shape.

Grip and ease of use

The synthetic handle sits comfortably in the hand, with the characteristic finger ring providing extra control. Weighing 183 grams, this knife is pleasantly lightweight for daily carry. The practical holster with pocket clip makes carrying easy and safe.

Who is this knife suitable for?

This karambit knife is ideal for beginners discovering this blade shape, or for EDC users looking for a striking pocket knife for light tasks. Collectors will appreciate the blue finish, while it is less suitable for heavy outdoor work.

Maintenance and durability

The 3Cr13 steel requires regular maintenance – sharpen the knife monthly with normal use. The blue coating protects against rust, but always dry the knife after contact with moisture. A drop of oil on the pivot keeps it smooth.
