Frequently Asked Questions
1️⃣ Karambit - What is it?
A karambit is a knife with a characteristically curved blade and a handle ending in a finger ring. This Asian knife is used in the martial arts of Pencak silat (Indonesia and Malaya) and in Kali Arnis Eskrima, which originated in the Philippines. Originally, the karambit was used for skinning and processing animal skins. The karambit has a relatively short curved blade with the tip pointing inward and a cutting edge usually derived on the concave part. The knife was popularized in computer games including Counter Strike.
2️⃣ How to sharpen a karambit?
A karambit has a curved blade, so a sharpening rod with a triangular or oval profile will work best for sharpening. For sharpening karambit knives, the Work Sharp Guided Field Sharpener, which uses a ceramic rod with two gradations, works well. Other sharpeners that will make sharpening a karambit easier are the Lansky Turn Box 4 sharpener, the Lansky Diamond Pen DROD1 and the Taidea TY1805 pocket sharpener.
