Raptor | Blackfield

Raptor | Blackfield – Robust karambit knife for outdoor and tactical use

The Blackfield Raptor is an impressive karambit knife with a hawkbill-shaped blade made from 440C stainless steel. This knife is designed for demanding outdoor tasks and, thanks to the characteristic ring, offers excellent control. With a blade length of 110mm and a stonewashed blade finish, this is a reliable choice for collectors and outdoor enthusiasts.

Experience from the Shogun team

During a weekend trip, we tested the Raptor for cutting rope and wood. The curved hawkbill blade shape proved particularly effective for pulling cutting motions. The weight of 275 grams did feel heavier after prolonged use.

Performance and sharpness of this knife

The 440C stainless steel offers a good balance between sharpness and ease of maintenance. The hawkbill shape cuts effortlessly through rope, textiles, and wood. The plain-edge blade remains sharp for a long time and is easy to resharpen. The serrated spine adds extra functionality for heavier cutting tasks.

Grip and ease of use

The black handle sits comfortably in the hand and provides an ergonomic grip, even in wet conditions. The distinctive ring ensures maximum control and prevents slipping. The included polymer sheath makes carrying practical and safe.

Who is this knife suitable for?

The Raptor is ideal for advanced users who appreciate the unique features of a karambit. Collectors will value the robust design and stonewashed finish. For EDC, this knife is less suitable than lighter alternatives due to its weight of 275 grams.

Maintenance and durability

The 440C material is corrosion-resistant and requires minimal maintenance. Regular cleaning and light oiling are sufficient. The stonewashed blade finish effectively masks small scratches, visually supporting durability. An easy-to-maintain karambit knife for years of use.
