The karambit, or kerambit, is a small Indonesian curved knife that resembles a claw. It was initially designed for agricultural purposes, much like a sickle. Over time, the curvature of the karambit has been increased to maximise its cutting potential. Today, it is one of the main weapons in silat and is also commonly used in Filipino martial arts. The modern take on karambit includes folding blades, well-finished and larger in general. It has become one of the most popular tools for backpacking, camping, gardening, farming, fishing, hunting etc.
