STEEL TIGER
|
Cold Steel has always contended that the Karambit is a
specialized style of knife with unique but limited uses. It is also,
however, quite popular. So, in response to the many requests from our
customers, and with the help of custom knife maker, Steven Likarich, we
proudly introduce the Steel Tiger®, our interpretation of this ancient
Indonesian knife. It possesses all the best features of the classic
Karambit and unites them with modern styling and materials, and, best of
all; we’ve kept it very affordable. The broadly curved AUS 8A stainless
blade is beautifully polished, taper ground, and vacuum heat-treated and
sub zero quenched, for maximum strength, cutting power and edge retention.
But it’s the grip that really distinguishes it from the competition.
Designed for comfort, strength and ease of use, it features a tough
Grivory® core that encapsulates the tang, emerging as the bolster/thumbshelf
and distinctive finger ring. This core is then overmolded with Kraton®,
which yields more to hand pressure than Grivory, and, in turn, creates a
superb, non-slip grip. For safety, convenience and quick access, the Steel
Tiger® comes with a sturdy Secure-Ex® sheath that you can lash to your
gear or retain on your person via the removable boot/belt clip.
