Fans of the computer game Counter-Strike: Global Offensive are familiar with such edged weapons as the Gradient kerambit knife. In the virtual world, no melee can take place without this blade. Being the most popular among fans of computer games, kerambit is present in real life. Created using a game layout, this knife has found its application among tourists and campers.
What is kerambit?
Karambits are called knives whose blades have a curved shape resembling a tiger fang. The handle is equipped with a special ring for the index finger. This improves the holding of the knife in the hand.
Origin
The manufacture of “kerambit” knives was begun more than seven hundred years ago. Their homeland is Sumatra. Karambit is a melee weapon used in the Southeast Asian martial art “silat”. This knife is equipped with Malaysian special forces. The popularity of kerambits is due to their following strengths:
- Weapons are considered an effective means of self-defense. The design features of the knife prevent it from being knocked out of the hands of the owner.
- The shape of the blade allows you to inflict quite severe wounds. The radius of blows with such a knife is significantly increased.
In some countries, these knives are used as an auxiliary agricultural tool: using a blade as a claw, a person can easily climb a palm tree and collect coconuts.
The unusual shape of the blade is interesting for many edged weapon lovers. Manufacturing companies took this into account while developing unique versions of kerambit knives. One of them is a product of the Gradient series.
