According to folklore, the karambit is inspired by the claws of big cats. While it is primarily used in a slashing or hooking motion, karambits with a finger ring are also used in a punching motion hitting the opponent with the finger ring, as well as some karambits are designed to be used in a hammering motion. The flexibility of striking methods is what makes it so useful in self-defense situations. Women used to tie the weapon into their hair to be used in self-defense. Even today, silat practitioners regard it as a feminine weapon. The Slaughterhouse Death Talon Fixed Blade Hand Forged Karambit is constructed from a single piece of steel. The blade is curved with a claw or talon shaped blade that has been antiqued with a blackened rough finish with silver edging. The handle is wrapped with a nylon cording that can be unraveled in case of emergencies. Underneath the wrapping is foam to create a firm and more comfortable grip. At the end of the handle is the karambits signature large finger hole which makes it difficult to disarm and allows the knife to be maneuvered in the fingers without losing one's grip. Included is a digital urban camo nylon sheath with a snap closure with belt loop so you can carry your knife at your side at all times. This piece comes oiled to protect and prolong the life of the blade.
