Black Karambit | MTech XTreme – Versatile karambit knife for precision work

The Black Karambit from MTech XTreme is a striking folding knife with the characteristic hawkbill blade. This karambit knife is suitable for EDC use, outdoor activities, and collectors who appreciate the unique design. The most notable feature is the ring at the end for extra control and the black finish.

Experience from the Shogun team

We tested this knife during camping activities. The hawkbill blade proved perfect for cutting rope and opening packaging. The ring provides excellent grip, although the knife feels somewhat heavier than expected at 236 grams.

Performance and sharpness of this karambit knife

The 3Cr13 steel is a basic steel that retains its sharpness reasonably well with normal use. This steel is easy to sharpen, ideal for beginners. The hawkbill blade of 6.35 cm with a plain-edge grind cuts excellently through rope, cardboard, and plastic, thanks to the curved blade shape that draws material inward.

Grip and ease of use

The handle offers a firm grip, even with wet hands. The distinctive ring provides extra security during use. The linerlock system operates smoothly and keeps the blade securely in place. With a folded length of 12.7 cm, this knife fits easily in your pocket.

Who is this karambit knife suitable for?

This karambit knife is ideal for users looking for a striking EDC knife with extra control. Perfect for collectors or those who appreciate the unique design. The MTech knife is less suitable for heavy-duty outdoor work due to the relatively soft steel.

Maintenance and durability

The 3Cr13 steel is reasonably rust-resistant but requires regular maintenance. Dry the knife after use and oil it monthly. The material wears faster than premium steel types but is easy to resharpen with a standard sharpening stone. The black finish may show wear with intensive use.
