FKMD Folding Kerambit

The Kerambit is a work knife, which has its origins in the Malay Archipelago and was documented for the first time in the 11th Century with the ring at the end of the handle.

The crescent-shaped blade is even today used for fishing knives or the gardener´s knife. The ring at the end of the handle allows a "hands-free operation" with the knife without putting it out of hand and reduce the risk of loss in the maritime environment.

Today, the ring is used on the handle end, however, more athletic, for example at various Filipino martial arts such as the Pencak Silat or Filipino Kali to rotate the knife on the little finger.

Ernest Emerson was a pioneer in the renaissance of this type of knife. He also developed the patent for the so-called Emerson Wave, a small hook on the back of the blade, which allows the blade to open when pulling from pocket at the same time.

The blade is made of 440-C and coated black. Handle scales made from non-slip G-10. Linerlock with lock and clip.
