Tac Force Karambit Red | SHOGUN

Karambit | Red | Tac Force – Striking pocket knife for EDC and collectors

This red pocket knife from Tac Force immediately stands out due to its characteristic karambit design with a hawkbill blade shape. Made from 3Cr13 steel and featuring a spring-assisted opening, this knife is suitable for EDC use and as an eye-catcher in your collection. The combination of functionality and the striking red design makes this a unique piece.

Experience from the Shogun team

We tested this knife during various outdoor activities. The spring-assisted mechanism operates smoothly, even when wearing gloves. The curved hawkbill shape proved ideal for cutting rope and opening packages. The red colour makes the knife highly visible in your gear.

Performance and sharpness of this pocket knife

The 3Cr13 steel is a solid choice for everyday use – it holds its edge reasonably well and is corrosion-resistant. The hawkbill blade shape with a blade length of 6.35 cm is perfect for pull cuts. The plain-edge blade slices effortlessly through rope, cardboard, and soft materials. For heavier cutting tasks, other steel types may be more suitable.

Grip and ease of use

The stainless steel handle provides a secure grip, although it can become somewhat slippery in wet conditions. The spring-assisted opening mechanism allows for one-handed opening via the thumb stud. The linerlock mechanism keeps the blade safely in place during use. Weighing 150 grams, it is comfortable for daily carry.

Who is this pocket knife suitable for?

This knife is ideal for EDC users looking for a striking yet functional knife. Collectors will appreciate the unique karambit design and the red colour. For beginners, the spring-assisted mechanism is convenient, although the curved shape may take some getting used to. Less suitable for heavy outdoor work or bushcraft.

Maintenance and durability

The 3Cr13 steel is reasonably corrosion-resistant but benefits from regular maintenance. Wipe the blade clean after use and occasionally apply a drop of oil to the pivot. The blade is relatively easy to sharpen with a ceramic rod. The red coating may show signs of wear with intensive use.
