The **Emerson Super Karambit** is a solid folding knife, with the characteristic karambit blade shape and a large finger hole in the handle. Since Ernest Emerson (founder of Emerson Knives) has been a martial arts instructor for many years, he has used this experience to make this karambit knife.


## What is a karambit?



A karambit is originally a Filipino fighting knife. Nowadays it is more of a collector’s item. The curved blade does make it suitable for many other purposes. Cutting through ropes or opening boxes for instance. 



## the Emerson Wave opener


You can open the Super Karambit in two different ways: with the thumb disc on the back of the blade, or with the Emerson Wave. The wave on the back of the blade is characteristic of many Emerson folding knives. This "hook" can be used to open the pocket knife while you take it out of your pocket. When you take the knife out of your pocket, the wave sticks behind the edge of your pocket automatically opening the knife. It can also be used as a bottle opener, which is awesome! Cheers!


## The handle


The handle is made of G10 which gives a lot of grip. The G10 and the shape of the handle make it feel like the knife almost sticks to your hand. Both with the blade facing up and facing down, the handle provides great grip. Inside the grip there are titanium liners. These keep it pretty low in weight.


## The blade


The blade of Super Karambit is made of 154CM steel. This type of steel was developed in the 1970s for turbine blades of Jet engines, but is nowadays better known as premium steel for knives. The blade has a so-called *chisel grind*. The blade is not sharpened hollow, or *full-flat*, but completely flat on one side and the other side a bit like a chisel. According to Emerson it can be sharpened in the field easier. It has a big recurve which makes cutting ‘towards yourself’ easier. The blade has a black teflon coating and in the open position a liner-lock keeps the blade in place.


## History of Emerson Knives


The foundation for Emerson Knives as we know it today dates back to 1979, when Ernest Emerson began making custom knives. His background as a soldier and martial arts instructor gave him clear ideas about how a knife should be made. In 1996 Emerson increased his production to have more people be able to work with his knives. He founded Emerson Knives and started producing folding knives and fixed knives on a large scale. Today *Emerson Knives* is a family business with eye for detail and focus on usage and what the user wants.
