The United Honshu Karambit Black is a striking knife with a distinctive curved blade shape. This karambit knife combines traditional Indonesian design with modern materials such as 7Cr13 steel. With its coated finish and prominent hawkbill shape, this is an impressive piece for collectors and martial arts practitioners.

Experience from the Shogun team

Upon unboxing, the balance is immediately noticeable – despite its light weight of 170 grams, this knife sits surprisingly stable in the hand. The ring finger fits perfectly through the characteristic ring, providing a very secure grip during use.

Performance and sharpness of this knife

The blade is made from 7Cr13 steel, a reliable Chinese steel type that is highly corrosion-resistant. The hawkbill design with plain-edge grind makes this knife very suitable for pull cuts through rope and other materials. The coated finish offers extra protection against corrosion.

Grip and ease of use

The ergonomic handle with finger ring provides excellent control during use. This design prevents the knife from slipping out of your hand, even in wet conditions. The included leather boot sheath makes this a practical EDC item for outdoor activities.

Who is this knife suitable for?

This karambit knife is ideal for collectors of unique knives and martial arts practitioners seeking an authentic training tool. Also suitable for bushcrafters who appreciate a knife with unique features. Less suitable for general kitchen use due to its specific shape.

Maintenance and durability

The 7Cr13 steel is relatively low-maintenance thanks to its corrosion-resistant nature. Regular cleaning and light oiling are sufficient. The coated finish provides extra protection, but may show wear with intensive use. Sharpening requires some experience due to the curved blade shape.
