The Artisan Cutlery Cobra is built for users who want a compact, aggressive karambit that doesn’t compromise on performance. Its modified tanto blade profile delivers a strong tip for piercing and a flat cutting edge for controlled slicing, making it a versatile tool for tactical carry or demanding everyday tasks. The blade deploys with a smooth, confident flipper action, and the overall design feels balanced and purposeful in the hand.
The blade is crafted from D2 tool steel, a high-carbon option known for excellent wear resistance and edge retention. D2 isn’t stainless, but it stands up to hard use and holds a working edge through tough cutting jobs. If you’re the kind of person who values a blade that stays sharp and can be maintained in the field, this steel fits that profile. The modified tanto shape also gives the Cobra a strong point and a practical geometry for controlled cuts.
The handle is built from textured black G10 scales, offering a rugged, no-nonsense grip that stays secure even when conditions get rough. G10 is a tough, moisture-resistant material that won’t warp or swell, and the texture gives you traction when you need it most. The gray finger ring adds a secure anchor point and improves retention and control during dynamic movement. This design makes the Cobra feel locked into your hand, giving you confidence whether you’re carrying it daily or using it as a working tool.
It carries easily, deploys quickly, and feels solid in the hand, which is exactly what you want from a karambit designed for real use. The Artisan Cutlery Cobra isn’t about flash — it’s about performance, reliability, and a clean, functional design that’s built to work.
