Karambit Mantis MK3-X64 made of 5Cr15MoV steel with jacketed titanium coating. The blade is short and wide single-edged, well-sharpened and curved with a claw typical of karambit, with anti-reflection titanium treatment, with serigraphy of orange flames with black shades. It has an ergonomic grip with ring for a solid anti-slip grip and a groove on the back to position the index determines a greater control of the knife, easy to grip, always ready to use and equipped with blade lock at the opening to work safely clip of metal hooking to the belt. It can be challenged in two ways:

Positive grip occurs when the Karambit is gripped by inserting the little finger into the ring;

Traditional grip on the other hand is when the Karambit is gripped by inserting the index into the ring.

This particular knife originates in Southeast Asia and its characteristic is the crescent shape and a ring at the base of the handle; in fact the shape of the Karambit was born trying to reproduce the claw of the tiger animal always feared and respected and was above all a battle weapon. In peacetime it was relegated to a purely use of work in the fields or in the wood carving. It is currently one of the most coveted models by collectors, it is also used as a personal defense weapon and used in various Asian martial arts disciplines. Produced by the Mantis Knives.
