Hand-Forged Karambit Knife in Raindrop Damascus Steel with Red Deer Stag Handle

A hand-forged karambit, featuring a distinctive raindrop pattern blade. The steel is a composite of 512 layers of 1075 high-carbon and 4340 stainless steels, providing a durable edge with a Rockwell hardness of 55-58 HRC.

The full-tang construction ensures strength and balance. The handle is shaped from genuine Red Deer stag antler, accented with a solid brass bolster and pins for a secure and comfortable grip. The total length is approximately 229 mm (9 inches), with a 127 mm (5-inch) blade.

This knife is suited for tasks requiring a strong, curved blade, such as cutting leather, trimming plastics, or general workshop utility where a pulling cut is advantageous.

Specifications

Before you order

Age 18+ only. By placing this order you confirm you are 18 or over. The courier will request photo ID at delivery and return the parcel if no eligible adult is available.

Carrying in public. Under section 139 of the Criminal Justice Act 1988 (with equivalents in Scotland and Northern Ireland), it is an offence to have any bladed or sharply pointed article in a public place without good reason or lawful authority. Carry your purchase only when transporting it directly to and from a workplace, workshop, fieldcraft course, hunting estate, or other lawful use.

Use. This is a sharp working tool, not a weapon. Cut away from the body, keep fingers behind the edge, sheathe before storing, and keep out of reach of children.

Care. Wipe dry after every use and apply a thin film of mineral or camellia oil to prevent rust — high-carbon and Damascus steels will spot or patina if left damp.
