Product Information

If you’re new to using a karambit knife, they can seem very awkward to hold and use, so what is the proper way to go about it? I’ve boiled it down to the very basics for beginners, so let’s take a look at how you should hold and use a karambit knife. As the karambit spread throughout the Pacific, different regions soon grew to develop their own preferences for the type of “tiger claw” they carried.

Going from a reverse grip to an extended grip, or vice versa, is a very common grip transition that you can begin to practice even if you’re a complete beginner. Just make sure to take it slow and practice first with a karambit trainer knife if at all possible. Switching Hand Transitions Masalong makes some rather impressive karambit designs, and the Outdoor Survival Claw is no exception.Due to the presence of the safety ring at the far edge of the handle, it is incredibly difficult to disarm an opponent who is holding a karambit.

It didn’t take long for this curved knife to spread to Malaysia and the Philippines as well — further cementing its place in history. Follow the steps laid out above on how to form a reverse karambit knife grip. Put shortly, your index finger should be through the ring at the end of the handle, and the blade should be facing down and outwards.I really like how the aluminum trainers are made. The fact that the beveled edges are not just on one side, means you can explore these trainers as single or double edge which can broaden your knowledge and understanding of what these knives can do. I have 5 different aluminum trainers from Marcaida Kali and all of them are great quality. Can you make an aluminum tomahawk trainer? Vertical strikes are usually quite impractical with traditionally shaped knives, but they are actually relatively easy to pull off with a karambit. You can perform a vertical strike using nearly any karambit knife grip.
