Small in size but built with a serious edge, the Bastinelli Creations Diagnostic Karambit Cerakote is designed for users who appreciate compact fixed blades with a rugged, purpose-built feel. Its streamlined profile, durable stainless steel construction, and distinctive karambit styling make it a capable addition to a lightweight carry setup.
The 1.75-inch N690 stainless steel karambit blade features a black Cerakote finish that gives the knife a hard-wearing tactical appearance. N690 stainless steel is well suited to everyday cutting applications, while the Cerakote treatment adds another layer of protection against the wear that comes with regular handling and carry. The compact blade keeps the overall profile exceptionally manageable without sacrificing the distinctive character of a karambit.
Full tang construction gives the Diagnostic a solid, straightforward build. The N690 stainless steel extends through the body of the knife, creating a unified structure designed for dependable handling. The black N690 stainless steel handle continues the monochromatic look from blade to grip, giving the knife a clean, cohesive appearance that fits naturally into tactical and everyday gear.
The integrated finger ring is one of the Diagnostic's defining features. It gives the user a secure point of control and reinforces the knife's traditional karambit-inspired design. The ring also provides a convenient way to maintain a positive grip during handling, while the compact frame keeps the knife easy to maneuver and carry.
Measuring just 3.75 inches overall and weighing only 0.93 ounces, the Diagnostic Karambit is remarkably light. Its compact dimensions make it an excellent choice when minimizing weight and bulk is a priority. It can be carried as a dedicated small fixed blade or incorporated into a broader everyday-carry, outdoor, or gear setup without taking up much space.
Bastinelli Creations includes a black Kydex sheath and neck chain, giving you a practical carry system right out of the box. The Kydex sheath complements the knife's lightweight construction while protecting the blade during transport, and the neck chain provides a convenient way to keep this compact tool readily accessible.
With its black Cerakote blade, matching N690 stainless steel handle, full tang construction, integrated finger ring, and featherweight design, the Diagnostic Karambit delivers a distinctive combination of durability, control, and compact carry convenience.
