Wartech Karambit Neck Knife 2.5 Inch Plain Damascus Hawkbill NTYC9115M

The Wartech Karambit Neck Knife in a striking Damascus-style finish brings a bold aesthetic to a tried-and-true tactical design. Compact, efficient, and built for high-speed performance, this fixed blade karambit blends practical cutting power with an aggressive profile that stands out in any collection. Whether you’re looking for a discreet self-defense tool or simply appreciate the artistry and function of a modern karambit, this blade delivers on all fronts.

At the heart of the knife is a 2.5-inch hawkbill blade made from dependable 3Cr13 stainless steel. This steel offers solid corrosion resistance, easy maintenance, and enough toughness for everyday use or emergency situations. The dramatic, sweeping curve of the hawkbill blade enhances slicing performance and control, especially during pulling cuts. What really sets this blade apart, though, is the beautiful Damascus-style finish. While it doesn’t offer the layered steel of true Damascus, the etched pattern gives it the distinct look of ancient craftsmanship paired with modern practicality. It’s a visual statement that hints at the blade’s cutting power and refined design.

The full tang construction means the steel runs throughout the entire knife, delivering exceptional strength and stability. At 7.5 inches overall and weighing 5.6 ounces, this karambit has a solid, confidence-inspiring feel in hand without being cumbersome or heavy. It’s ready for serious work, yet compact enough to carry comfortably and discreetly.

The handle is molded from black ABS plastic—lightweight, durable, and contoured for a secure grip. Its textured surface provides extra traction in the palm, while the finger ring at the base adds another layer of control and retention. The ring not only supports a range of grip styles, but also allows for smooth draws and transitions, especially in close-quarters or tactical situations. It’s a design that encourages fast handling without sacrificing safety.

A matching black ABS plastic lanyard sheath comes with the knife, offering reliable neck carry that keeps the blade close and easy to access. The sheath is low-profile and form-fitted, holding the karambit securely in place while minimizing bulk. Whether worn under a shirt or clipped to a pack, it’s a great carry solution for users who need quick access without compromise.

This knife isn’t just about performance—it’s about attitude. The Wartech Karambit Neck Knife with its Damascus-style blade is for those who want a functional tool with serious visual appeal. It’s a conversation piece, a backup blade, and a go-to choice for those who appreciate the efficiency and edge of a karambit.
