Mike confirms we do not want to be in a fight against an opponent with a 5.11 Tactical Karambit .

USA – -(Ammoland.com)- The Karambit is a small curved-bladed fighting knife that was developed in Indonesia and the Philippines.

There are two basic stories of the origin of this knife. One version holds that the knife has remained unchanged for centuries and was originally a utility type knife that made its way into combat. The other version states that it began as a battlefield weapon and the modern Karambit is a scaled-down version made more for utility use.

Regardless of its origin, the Karambit has a dedicated following in the tactical and martial arts communities. Most custom knife makers and production companies produce a variant of this knife. Some Karambits feature a fixed blade, whereas some are folding designs. Most Karambits feature a ring at the end of the handle to aid in retention, although the ring is actually an option according to purists of Penchak Silat and other traditional Indo-Pacific styles which teach the use of the Karambit.
