Steel Tiger, Karambit Knife, AUS 8A Stainless Steel

Steel Tiger®, Karambit Knife with AUS 8A stainless steel blade
2017 Model

The Steel Tiger® is a thoroughly modern tactical interpretation of the Indonesian Karambit. A design collaboration between Lynn C. Thompson and the late custom knife maker Steven Likarich, the Steel Tiger® was designed to possess all the best features of this iconic hooked blade and to integrate them seamlessly with modern materials and styling.

The Steel Tiger®'s deeply curved and needle-sharp AUS 8A stainless blade is vacuum heat-treated and sub-zero quenched, taper-ground and given a stonewash finish for maximum strength, cutting power, edge retention and performance.

The durable Griv-Ex™ core handle fully encapsulates the tang, emerging to create the bolster, thumb-shelf and distinctive finger ring. This core is then injection over-molded with premium Kray-Ex™, creating a superb, non-slip grip that won't let you down, even when your hands are cold or wet.

For safety and convenience, the Steel Tiger® comes with a Military-style Secure-Ex® sheath that you can lash to your gear or retain on your person via the removable boot/belt clip.

AUS 8A Stainless Steel
Cold Steel® has been using the same expertly heat-treated Japanese AUS 8A steel for nearly 3 decades. This steel has tested amazingly well over the years and has proven to be an excellent steel for working knives - tough, corrosion resistant, with good edge holding and easy to re-sharpen.
