PARTS OF THE KARAMBIT

There are several identifiable parts of any Karambit. Much like there are many different cars, there are many different Karambits. Every car must have a set of tires, an engine of some kind and some type of body in order for it to be a car. The same thing applies to a Karambit. There are unlimited styles and shapes of Karambits, however there are certain basic parts.

The Karambit (both modern and its ancient cousin) consists of ten (10) identifiable parts each uniquely contributing to the essential overall operative quality of the utility knife.

These ten parts of the traditional Karambit include: 1. Point. 2. Inside edge, 3. Outside edge (although due to various state laws, most modern Karambits do not have a sharpened outside edge), 4. Shaft, 5. Back blade (again, due to various state laws, most modern Karambits do not have a sharpened back blade), 6. Handle, 7. Spine, 8. Front Brake, 9. Rear Brake, and lastly the 10. Safety Ring.

 

Most modern fixed-blade Karambits come with a sheath.

The best one of these is a sheath that can be worn in multiple carry positions on the body such as the Tarani/Strider Model HS.
