How to Use the KARAMBIT Knife! Karambit Basics 

Thanks! My grandma didn’t stand a chance.

lol, just because im broke af, i substituted karambit to scissors.

I shall stick with my trainer for now. good video thanks from England.

Beautiful Knife, I have always admired this knife. Appreciate your basics of use of this very effective blade.

Don't flip it. Use it to tear flesh. But it's awful for stabbing. -Jason

Don’t flip this knife! In a practical fight, it’s just another chance you’ll lose the knife. Keep it in your hand firmly

I'm assuming those techniques were for a double edged karambit?

I got an OTF karambit a while back and it's been tough to find a video that wasn't just about flipping. Definitely going to practice with the techniques you showed, thanks for the video!

I pronounce it Karambit.

Thank you Sir. Your video was very informative. I just bought my first karambit blade yesterday and I'm loving this thing already. Lol. Thanks again and have a great day ✌🏻

Practicing with the sheath adds extra weight so when you just flip the blade it's lighter and more controlled.

just got my microtech karambit auto knife .. this video right away showed me how i can use it & prevent a trip to the hospital - THANK YOU!

It was surprisingly easy to learn, thanks dude!

I love karambits! But I don't have one... yet, lol.

Thank you, this was so helpful

I'm 72 and will practice these initial moves until I feel confident enough if I'm attacked. The odds are nobody is going to expect an old dude to slice and dice. I realize the FIRST strike is the MOST important, then you can "go to work" Served in our Military for 33 years as a Medic and carried a 45. Am also a staunch supporter of OUR Second Amendment, which keeps the government from shutting down the rest even though they did a pretty good job on the First with then "faint of heart". When we switched over to the 9mm, I put in a request to keep my 45. It was approved. Really like how you go to the extension and back. Have a live one but will buy the trainer before I commit Hara-'kiti

I love the karambit. My little sneak attack lol. More more more. I like the flipping. Got to master that one. Mike

I'm working these techniques. Selamat! Thanks bro. I'll train hard.

Awesome video. Love that drill. Simple but useful. I actually have a karambit that I made I use for drills like this. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you brother for teaching I'm learning the karambit

Doesn't this feel like the karate in napoleon dynamite.

Really loving your stuff. I’ve been Interested In Filipino martial arts latley but because of covid I can’t join a gym to train. I’ve got a question. As you get more comfortable with these basic strikes and switching to extended grip. Would it be beneficial to add a punch or palm strike with your empty hand when you switch from extended grip back to the standard grip? To keep them distracted while you are more vulnerable switching grips. It’s a principle we used in Krav Maga quite a bit when I trained it to always add distraction strikes if your technique puts you in a more vulnerable position.

*only for practicing* if you guys want to know a safer substitution for a karambit it is one of those bottle openers but they are used for beer bottles etc. it has i hole at the end and if the metal hits it wont hurt maybe just a pinch.

Great video, I have one of these, I need to practice

Nice! Keep them coming.

Thanks Sir! your video is so easy to learn Can I take online learning from you.

Mabuhay! Excellent demo!

I have two karambits. One is sharp and the other is a metal trainer. I love them both. 😁👍

Thank you so much this is helpful

Finally karambit video! Thanks for that! :D But just a detail,many of these knives(that u can buy)dont have double egded blade...So u cant perform many of this moves..

I just use my karambit with the sheathe on to train

That was really helpful

Thanks for the video. There's some good real world applications for the Karambit knife, like being on a tac vest for police and military. I love the fact that it can trap people's arms and also the take downs you can do with it. It's fun and practical for self defense.

im about to buy a double bladed big karambit soon.. (just dont ask why) just here to get some tips and tricks to use in emergancy situations

Very interesting!

Bought a fox-599 and did the flip and when I flipped it back I punctured my forearm 1/4” deep. Couldn’t stop bleeding and had to use dermabond. Fox 599 is a real razor Sharp karambit

Massalong Eagle Claw. Just got it today!!

How does the back slash effectivly use the cutting edge? Or are both sides of the blade sharpened?

Kali made me wanna go train with karambit gonna make one from wood for training 👍👍👍

Luv the sound track...mind sharing the title?!?

I got myself a rainbow karambit. I thought the ring was on the wrong side, now I see it’s right. 😅 I might invest in a training karambit, playing around with my live one already ended up catching myself a few times.

Ive been using a butterfly knife for a little while now and im wondering if the skill will transfer over

Awesome!

Badass!

What you think Shasta McNasty by Schrade that's my EDC right now also what is your thoughts on double edged Karambit

Deadly knife

Which Karambit is this that you're using? There are so few on the market that fall into the size that I like... most are way larger than I want. This one looks like a great size. Thanks!

I've been in a knife fight, I pray I won't find in another one in my life. But I learned a valuable lesson. Don't, ABSOLUTELY, do, what this guy just did. Forget those 6 minutes of your life.

Fact: The trainer has never used it in real life fight situation😁

I love the lapu lapu shirt

I have a Kukrhi knife... From Nepal(hope you might know it cause you are a martial artist )..,. can you do on a video on that if you have it.. please reply I am a new subber..... Thanks

So, is the signet ring for the delica to make it into a karambit?

Where do you even get these? I am not sure they are allowed to be imported into my country as it is very strict. I am here after watching the Raid movies. Also I think the Indonesian Special Forces uses these?

It happened to me and believe me when I tell you that if you don't know, use protection at the tip of the karambit 1:27

On your slash your assuming use with a double edge? I've only got a single edge.

3d printed one. Painted it like a csgo one. Took it to airsoft and flipped it around. Really cool thank you!!

Instead of using a training karambit, you can just put the sheath on (just mare sure it stays on when you swing it).

Awesome

Where can I buy that Karambit knife?

Where can i buy a double edged karambit?

Where do I buy your same knife?

These things are gnarly and threatening as hell but they don’t just look scary they are devastating.

Where can i get that double edged karambit

Is that only for double sided karambits?

Btw thnx for this,Jimmy will never see me coming

Quick question- are all parts of the karambit blade supposed to be bladed, or should it have a dull edge? Mine has a dull edge, but it’s also foldable, so I’m just unsure.

What's up do you know that that also called the Karambit a hawkbill knife from some people

what do i do if my karambit finger hole is too small?

Lovely Karambit Paul.

i un-screwed my scissors and used to kinda curved part to mimic a karambit. lol.

The cool guys skin their cucumbers with Karambit knife!

When I'm trying to give advice to women on how to use a knife for defense, my main concept is 1. Distance. Never let the man (generally) get close enough to grab you, your arms or your knife and don't let them close enough to hit... 2. Make sure you have a REAL knife that is RAZOR sharp and as they reach or move forward, move back if possible and each time they reach, slash the hands / arms then move back. 3. Never try to stab because it brings you close enough to be overpowered... Only stab if the perp happens to grab you then go nuts!!! Generally, being shorter, aim for the inner thigh or groin. Nothing will ruin a guys day faster! 4. Always be trying to just get away and find help. Don't fight unless you have to. Generally, if you keep distance and slash some hands, wrists, arms a few times, they'll give up the fight unless they are really stupid in which case, you'll need to wait for the opportunity to run or if the deep slashes to arms and hands don't work, you'll have to be ready to stab / kill!! I'm no knife expert by any means but these are the things I've taught my daughters and female friends. II'd like some input if you could or anyone else with knife fighting experience on my theory. I guess my main thought is slash and move then escape if possible. Girls are quick and it doesn't take strength to deal some serious damage to forearms, hands, etc hopefully to the point they won't want to play anymore and will just go away... Of course, if someone comes up from behind and grabs you, you've got to do anything to get to that knife and from there, the groin, thighs and possibly kidneys could be targets... Thanks

Santa is about to hit me in the chimney, home defenses are always a plus.

Do a butterfly knife training video if you haven't already since I'm watching this video 4 years later LOL

what karambit model is that?

I just bought my first karambit. I think I need to invest in a trainer blade before I injure myself.

Cool shirt, where can I get one?

You only showed the reverse grip what about the standard grip were your pinky is though the ring

how much is it on steam market?

Yeah i just bought a karambit and i didn't move my wrist out of the way and i slit my forarm open

pls make a video with a target doll and hd slow motion camera focusing on karambit

Hey, quick question. Is there’s any advantage on using Karambit than other knives like just regular pocket knives or fixed handle knives? I see Karambits almost everywhere, but I just ain’t sure why they use them.

How about multiple assailants?

0.03 Yeah, i know that you know i know what you got there 😂

I am using this for h3vr

Aaaannnnd, the fist thing I just did, flipping it the other way.. puncturing my arm.. now with bandage on, I will order å trainer

HOLY KARAMBIT

I don't have a training one I just have the crazy sharp pointy one I bought without thinking and saw the store had mislabeled the price on one of the 2 for sale and it was less than half of what I should be. I asked to buy it and they immediately saw someone messed up but being good merchants they sold it for the incorrect price it was listed. Knew it had to sting. Now I have this silly dangerous thing and my other knife broke and its a shit area so I carry it in its sheath thingy under my shirt. The sheath is good so I have it handle down so I can get it fast if needed but it won't fall out on its own. Theres been a string of robberies where 1 or 2 unarmed ppl attack and beat up someone and rob them. Fuck that.

If you bought a live karambit I recommend using the cover.

Sleeping with the karambit next to me from now on lol

Can you recommend me some good quality karambit, I can purchase

just observing.. i think when fliping back the kerambit it would be a bad idea to align it towards your face.

I most my Karambit it was a 5.11 Karambit.

why doesn't he use it like a claw where it faces downward in front of you?

What kind of Karambit is that ?

cool

So the karambit is more of a combative gutting knife, not your traditional pocket knife meant for self-defense. This thing is meant to be fatal.

Last year. I was shocked when my friend buy it for me and it is unexpected that he will bought that karambit for me, then its is live blade and im scared a little bit because when i flip my karambit it slashed my arm but the wound its look like dot( . ) ...... But now I can flip it continuously but sometimes i hit my arm. And i know that is part of a practicing but i need to be more careful on it......................
