The SOG Gambit Blackout brings a sleek, tactical edge to the world of fixed karambits, offering a compact yet highly capable tool designed for precision and control. Whether you’re a collector, enthusiast, or someone who values reliable cutting performance in a unique design, this fixed blade karambit delivers on every front with its smart blend of materials and thoughtful features.
At the core of the Gambit Blackout is a 2.58-inch sheepsfoot blade forged from 7Cr17Mov stainless steel. Known for its toughness and corrosion resistance, 7Cr17Mov holds a sharp edge well and is easy to maintain. The sheepsfoot blade shape provides a straight cutting edge with a blunted tip, making it ideal for controlled slicing and safer handling in close-quarters tasks. The black oxide finish adds durability by protecting against wear and corrosion, while giving the blade a stealthy, tactical look that minimizes glare.
This karambit’s full tang construction ensures strength and reliability, giving it a solid feel that inspires confidence in any situation. The handle is crafted from black GRN, or glass-reinforced nylon, which is both lightweight and exceptionally durable. Its textured surface offers a secure grip even in wet or slippery conditions, enhancing control during use. The finger ring is a hallmark of karambit design, and on the Gambit Blackout, it provides excellent retention and maneuverability, allowing for precise control and smooth handling.
Measuring 7.3 inches overall and weighing just 2.8 ounces, this knife is compact and lightweight without compromising on presence or performance. It’s easy to carry, quick to deploy, and comfortable to wield, making it a practical choice for a wide range of users.
The Gambit Blackout comes with a black hard molded plastic sheath featuring a belt clip for secure, convenient carry. The sheath holds the knife firmly while allowing for quick access, whether clipped to your belt or attached to gear. This ensures that the blade is always ready when you need it but safely stowed when you don’t.
This fixed karambit balances traditional design elements with modern materials and construction techniques. It’s a specialized tool that’s equally at home on display, in training, or as a go-to blade for tactical or utility use. The combination of the sheepsfoot blade, full tang strength, and ergonomic handle means you get a knife that’s both safe and effective in skilled hands.
Available from the world’s largest knife store, Smoky Mountain Knife Works, the best online knife store, the SOG Gambit Blackout offers an exceptional blend of style, utility, and craftsmanship. It’s a knife that stands out in any collection, ready to perform with precision and durability whenever called upon.
