The 2-inch hawkbill blade is made from 8Cr13MoV stainless steel, a reliable choice known for its sharpness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. Its curved profile allows for controlled slicing and pulling cuts, making it particularly effective in close-quarters use or for utility work that demands precision.

The black G-10 handle scales offer a secure, textured grip in any condition. G-10 is valued for its toughness and resistance to moisture and temperature changes, making it an ideal material for a knife you’ll rely on when it matters most. The ergonomic shape, paired with the karambit’s signature finger ring, gives you excellent retention and control during use, helping you stay ready for fast, precise action.
At just 5.5 inches overall, the H.R.T. Karambit Neck Knife is easy to carry without adding bulk.
