Dragon's Claw Damascus Steel Karambit

Dragon’s have always fascinated and terrified us. Folklore stories of magic, battles and destruction have been passed on from generation to generation. One such story, was about the young man named Darius, who found a dragon’s claw. The dragon’s claw was not a normal claw found on any other animal. It was made of steel and was magical. Darius soon discovered that the person who possessed the dragon’s claw would become a clairvoyant and would be able to see into the future. Darius used this ability to amass wealth and power, always knowing the moves of his enemies. Later in life he saw the death of his beloved wife. Although her death had not happened he could not stop grieving for her. Years went by and he continued to grieve. It was only after she had truly passed away that he realized he had wasted these last years with her. Darius threw the dragon’s claw in the ocean out of anger and vowed to live every day in the moment, not forsaking anyone or anything.

Our Damascus steel karambit may not make you a clairvoyant or give you magical powers, but it will give you extreme satisfaction once you hold it. The double-edged dragon’s claw blade is razor sharp and has a menacing tip. The Damascus steel bolster and safety ring give this karambit an exquisite look. The safety ring has a pointed edge for reverse hits. Made of 1095 and 15n20 steels, the high carbon content of 1095 gives this karambit an extremely sharp and durable edge. The compact blade and large handle gives the user exceptional control.

The karambit is a multi-use knife that originated in Indonesia as a farming tool and utility knife. It quickly spread throughout Asia because of its versatility. It was often used as an everyday carry or EDC knife and was very popular because of its small size. There are many versions of karambits and each has its own unique features. Most karambits have ergonomic handles and a safety ring. The safety ring helps prevent the knife from sliding in your hand and allows you to spin the karambit to change hand positions. The Dragon’s Claw Damascus Steel Karambit is the ideal choice for the discerning collector or tactical user who wants a hand crafted karambit that is unique in design and style.
