Karambits

A karambit is a type of curved knife that originated in Indonesia. It is traditionally a small, hand-held weapon used for self-defense and utility purposes, but it has also gained popularity as a tactical and EDC (everyday carry) knife. The karambit has a distinctive crescent-shaped blade that is sharpened along the inside edge, and it is often equipped with a "finger ring" at the base of the handle, which allows the user to grip the knife in a variety of ways.

The karambit is designed for close-quarters combat and can be used for slashing and cutting motions. It is also effective for tasks that require a precise, controlled cutting edge, such as peeling fruit or carving wood. Some karambits also have serrated edges, which can be useful for sawing through tough materials.

There are many variations of the karambit, and they can be made with a variety of blade materials, such as stainless steel, carbon steel, and ceramic.
