SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Skallywag Tactical Deep 6 Fixed Karambit is a force to be reckoned with—bold, aggressive, and purpose-built for those who demand a serious edge in tactical applications. With roots in Southeast Asian martial traditions and modernized by Skallywag’s hard-use design philosophy, the Deep 6 delivers an uncompromising blend of form, function, and intimidation.
Its 4-inch hawkbill blade is made from 440C stainless steel, a high-performance material known for its excellent hardness and corrosion resistance. Shaped like a talon, the hawkbill blade excels at controlled pulling cuts, tearing through rope, webbing, and fibrous materials with surgical precision. The black finish adds a sleek, non-reflective look and improves corrosion resistance, while also complementing the aggressive tone of the knife. This is a blade made for action—not for decoration.
At 0.15 inches thick and weighing 7.8 ounces, the Deep 6 feels substantial in the hand. The full tang construction ensures strength from tip to pommel, making it a trusted choice in high-stress environments. This is a blade you can rely on, whether you’re training, operating in the field, or need a defensive backup with uncompromising retention and bite.
The black G-10 handle scales are textured for grip and shaped for ergonomics, allowing for a natural and secure hold. G-10 is tough, lightweight, and weather-resistant, ideal for a knife that could see use in everything from maritime environments to urban terrain. The forward curve of the grip is enhanced by a prominent finger ring—one of the defining features of a true karambit. The ring allows for fast draw and retention, letting the knife flow between grips and angles in fluid, instinctive motion.
Whether you prefer standard grip, reverse grip, or a spinning maneuver, the Deep 6 responds with control and balance. A lanyard hole at the base offers additional security or customization, letting you tether the knife or personalize your setup.
To round out the package, this fixed blade comes with a custom-fit black Kydex sheath featuring a reliable belt clip. It holds the knife securely and allows for discreet carry and fast deployment, whether worn on your belt, vest, or pack. This is a sheath and blade combination designed to keep up with the pace of your day—and your mission.
Every detail of the Skallywag Tactical Deep 6 Karambit is crafted with intentionality, offering users a premium, professional-grade tool that doesn’t compromise on performance or presence. Whether you’re a martial artist, first responder, collector, or simply someone who appreciates expertly made tactical gear, the Deep 6 earns its place in your lineup.
