The Kerambit is a work knife, that has its origin in the Malay-Indonesian archipelago. In the 11th century, it was documented with the ring at the handle end for the first time. Even today, the crescent-shaped blade is used for the knives of fishermen or gardeners. The ring at the handle end allows for a hands-free working with the knife so you do not need to put it down and it also minimizes the danger of losing it. Today, however, the ring is rather used for sports, e.g. in different Filipino martial arts like Pencak Silat or Philipino Kali where the knife is being rotated around the small finger.
Ernest Emerson was a pioneer in the renaissance of this type of knife. He also patented the so-called Emerson Wave, a small hook on the back of the blade that allows the blade to open at the same time when pulling it out of your pocket. The blade of the FKMD Folding Kerambit is made of N690 and has a black coating. It opens by thumb stud or Emerson Wave and is reliably locked by a sturdy linerlock. The handle scales are made of textured G10 and always fit securely in the hand thanks to the ergonomic design. With clip (tip-up/r).
