{"product_id":"karambit-knife-handmade-high-carbon-damascus-steel-blade","title":"Karambit Knife- Damascus Steel- 11\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eOur Karambit Knife is a powerful homage to the traditional Southeast Asian curved blade, designed to evoke the claw of a mighty tiger. Originating from the Minangkabau people of West Sumatra, the Karambit was once a humble agricultural tool, used for tasks such as raking roots, threshing grain, and planting rice. As it transitioned into a weapon, its blade curve increased to optimize its cutting potential. Historically viewed as a peasant's weapon, the Karambit has since gained recognition as a significant instrument in Filipino martial arts. This knife is traditionally held with the blade extending downward from the bottom of the fist, ready for swift and precise action.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBlade Composition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Karambit Knife is crafted from pattern-welded Damascus steel, a heat-treated, folded carbon steel known for its hardness and durability. The blade is composed of 11 pieces of steel, folded five times, resulting in a staggering 352 layers. A Rockwell hardness rating between 55 and 56 HRC testifies to its resilience. The high carbon Damascus steel incorporates layers of the highest carbon-content steel, 1095, which imparts strength to hold a powerful edge and the flexibility to withstand powerful impacts. The handle is fashioned from black horn, adding to the knife's robust character. The knife is accompanied by a protective leather sheath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKnife Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle Material: Black Horn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall Length: 11 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRockwell Hardness: 55-56 HRC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Steel Layers: 352\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSheath Material: Genuine leather\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Material: Damascus steel, featuring:\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 Pieces of Carbon Steel #43 and #40\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 Pieces of High Carbon Steel 1095\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLayering Pattern:\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1st Fold: 22 Layers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2nd Fold: 44 Layers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3rd Fold: 88 Layers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4th Fold: 176 Layers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5th Fold: 352 Layers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Karambit Knife is a testament to the timeless appeal of this traditional weapon, skillfully crafted with a high carbon Damascus steel blade for superior performance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Battlingbladess","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":4832429768738,"sku":"2000000105","price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2234\/4067\/products\/DSC01099.jpg?v=1527247732","url":"https:\/\/battlingbladess.shop\/products\/karambit-knife-handmade-high-carbon-damascus-steel-blade","provider":"Battlingbladess","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
