Karambit Silver | Honshu

Karambit Silver | Honshu – traditional martial arts knife

The United Honshu Karambit Silver is an impressive knife featuring the distinctive curved hawkbill blade shape. This traditional design from Southeast Asia is especially valued by martial arts practitioners and collectors. The striking 7Cr13 steel blade has an elegant satin finish that gives the knife a premium appearance.

Experience from the Shogun team

During testing, the perfect balance was immediately noticeable. The ring finger fits comfortably through the characteristic ring, providing a very secure grip. The knife sits naturally in the hand and the curved shape makes cutting movements intuitive.

Performance and sharpness of this knife

The 7Cr13 steel offers a good balance between sharpness and ease of maintenance. With a blade length of 10.16 cm and the characteristic hawkbill shape, this knife is particularly suitable for pulling cuts. The plain-edge cutting edge makes the blade razor-sharp and effective for precision work. The stainless steel requires less maintenance than carbon steel.

Grip and ease of use

The ergonomic handle with finger ring provides excellent control and prevents the knife from slipping out of your hand. The weight of 170 grams gives a solid but not too heavy feel. The included polymer sheath can be worn on the shoulder for quick access.

Who is this knife suitable for?

This karambit knife is ideal for martial arts practitioners looking for an authentic training knife. Collectors of unique knife designs will also appreciate the United Honshu. For everyday use, a traditional pocket knife is more practical, but for demonstrations and collections, this is a showpiece.

Maintenance and durability

The 7Cr13 steel is reasonably corrosion-resistant but benefits from regular cleaning and light oiling. The satin finish hides small scratches well. For optimal sharpness, we recommend sharpening at an angle of 20-25 degrees. Store the knife dry in the supplied sheath.
