The 5 Most Gruesome Karambit Style Knives
Category: Knife ReviewsThere are a slew of Karambits out there. You have the standard Karambit style knives and then growing in popularity is the folding karambit knife. Take your pick, they’re both awesome tools of defense and often-times offense.
#1 Emerson Karambit Fixed Blade
This is an extremely gruesome looking knife coming from Emerson’s line of Karambit Style Knives. This nasty looking thing looks like the talon of a terrifying Terradactyl swooping out of the sky to rip you to shreds and turn you into dinner. Nice thought, huh?
#2 Mantis Knives MK-2 Karambit, Cinq II Karambit
The Mantis knife company is no slouch in producing gruesome looking knives. You’d have to check out the Mantis knife line to verify my claim. But, to be more specific, the MK-2 is one mean looking karambit if I’ve ever seen one.
#3 Emerson Karambit, Black-T Finish, Plain
Again, on our list of 5 gruesome karambit syle knives is yet another karambit from Emerson. I really like this black-t finish on this blade. It’s very tactical-like and makes a menacing little blade.
#4 Cold Steel Steel Tiger
Cold Steel knives makes some of the toughest blades in the business and they didn’t hold back when it came to the Cold Steel Steel Tiger. Another of many gruesome looking karambit style knives that I wouldn’t want to see clutched in the hand of some thug in a back alley somewhere.
#5 Tops Knives Scorpion’s Tail Karambit
Tops knives doesn’t exactly call the Scorpion’s Tail a karambit style knife in their write up, but I assure you, it meets the criteria for one of the many gruesome looking karambit style knives as far as I’m concerned. This is one ugly and mean looking little tool of butt-kicking.
Karambit sylte knives easily fall into the Fighting Knife genre, as they would be lethal in the hands of a trained warrior. I certainly wouldn’t want to face one without about 500 meters and a good long range rifle.
Check out the Emerson The Complete Karambit DVD Set of 4 sometime to get you up to speed on karambit style knives combat and training. It’s a great training aid that will absolutely bring you up to speed.

Yeah, Emerson produces the best tactical knives made, but no longer offers the folding Karambit. It isn’t even listed on the website.
I am more than pissed.
I can only afford one good knife at a time, and I was preparing buy an Emerson Persian. It too is gone from the Emerson lineup.
Luckily I bought my CQC15 last fall.
Right. Another casualty of Ernie’s apparent desire to sell T-shirts and trinkets instead of blades.
What’s with this?
