Karambit

The Karambit is a distinctive fixed or folding knife, recognized by its curved, claw-like blade and ergonomic handle, which features a retention ring on the end. Originating in Southeast Asia as an agricultural tool, it evolved into a tactical weapon. The ring ensures a non-slip, secure grip, making the blade nearly impossible to disarm. Its shape is ideal for slashing and hooking motions, popular with both self-defense enthusiasts and special forces due to its effectiveness in close quarters. It can be wielded in a standard grip for extended strikes or a reverse grip for close-in power.
