The inside of the finger hole is not polished, so the layering is obvious if you look closely in there. I am happy that the ornamental part of the sheath just snaps on and can be removed. I prefer the simple look. The handle is on the small side. My hands are not large (I wear around a size 9 glove) and my fingers feel a little bit scrunched when holding it, especially when I am holding it in a standard grip with my little finger through the hole. That being said, it is more comfortable when I have my index finger through the hole in a traditional silat karambit grip. It works well for both a right-handed or left-handed grip. The only thing that would make it more comfortable would be if the metal around the finger hole and the finger hole itself were beveled. The square edge feels a little sharp when you press against it. Review: Real Damascus, comes sharp out of the box - I bought 2 of these knives, on for me and another for a friend. I didn't even need to compare the two to figure out that is was actually Damascus. One thing that I didn't really love was the two dark spots on the knives, but it isn't a deal breaker for me. I thought that I would have a problem with the sheath due to the fact that it was I guess "backwards" in a way, but I actually found it more convenient the way it was made. After I bought it I brought it to work to show my partner when I realized I had forgotten my boxcutter at home. I decided so say screw it and use this knife instead. All day I was cutting Weatherproof paper for exterior waterproofing for siding. I cut through the paper cleanly and held an edge all day. Keep in mind that this paper is more like a fabric than a paper really, and I was very surprised at how closely it was to competing with a utility blade boxcutter. Though I don't really recommend this knife over a boxcutter, mostly because it's not as small and civilians would probably be terrified of you, it definitely is a good edc. ## Features - 🔪 BUILT FOR PRECISION - Hand-forged 288-layer Damascus curved blade holds a razor edge; 7.5" overall with 3.65" cutting edge and 4.9 oz weight for swift controlled cuts. - 🌳 MULTI-ROLE OUTDOOR KNIFE - Ideal as an everyday carry bushcraft camping fishing and survival tool; excels at slicing rope cord and detailed utility tasks. - 🪵 SECURE FINGER-GROOVE BLACK WOOD HANDLE - Full-tang design with ergonomic finger grooves and retention ring offers confident control and non-slip security. - 🧵 HAND-STITCHED LEATHER SHEATH - Compact vertical sheath with snap fastener protects your karambit and enables rapid deployment on the go. - 🎁 GIFT-BOX PRESENTATION - Ships ready to gift in premium packaging; a standout collector gift for men and outdoor enthusiasts perfect for birthdays or holidays. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08CZRRS54 | | Age Range (Description) | Adult | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #46,005 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #65 in Fixed Blade Hunting Knives | | Blade Edge | Compound Bevel | | Blade Length | 3.65 inches | | Blade Material | Alloy Steel | | Blade Shape | Hawkbill | | Blade Type | Karambit | | Brand | BIGCAT ROAR | | Brand Name | BIGCAT ROAR | | Color | Multicolor | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 466 Reviews | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Handle Material | Black wood | | Included Components | Sheath | | Item Length | 7.5 inches | | Item Shape | Hawkbill | | Item Weight | 5.28 ounces | | Manufacturer | BIGCAT ROAR | | Model Name | Desert Fox | | Model Number | BC-029 | | Part Number | BC-029 | | Power Source | Manual | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash Only | | Recommended Uses For Product | Bushcrafting, Camping, Emergency, Hiking, Hunting | | Reusability | Reusable | | Set Name | Desert Fox | | Size | 3.7" | | Special Feature | Fixed Blade, Rust resistant hunting knife with holster | | Special Features | Fixed Blade, Rust resistant hunting knife with holster | | Style | Desert Fox | | Theme | Hunting Knife | | UPC | 731628457647 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Blade Material:** Alloy Steel - **Brand:** BIGCAT ROAR - **Color:** Multicolor - **Handle Material:** Black wood - **Included Components:** Sheath - **Model Name:** Desert Fox - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Bushcrafting, Camping, Emergency, Hiking, Hunting - **Special Feature:** Fixed Blade, Rust resistant hunting knife with holster - **Style:** Desert Fox ## Images ![Handmade Damascus Karambit Knife Curved Full Tang 7,5" - Tactical Survival | Black Wood Handle & Leather Sheath.

What is it's purpose?** A: It's just there for decoration up front. Makes the sheath look extremely cool. I have had so many compliments on mine. Hope I was a little bit of help to you. **Q: Realmente es acero d2 ? la funda está reseca, como muy vieja y con óxido en las aplicaciones metálicas. el mango se veia usado. tiene garantia ?** A: Sí! es acero D2. En raras ocasiones, los cuchillos sufren unos daños por el transporte o el almacenamiento que pueden hacer que no lleguen en las condiciones perfectas. Por favor contacte con nuestro customer service y solucionaremos su problema. **Q: Just received my order of two units. Quality knives, but need some honing. What is the proper sharpening angle?** A: Hand made knives do not share a common angle grind however they are consistent on each one. I’d use your angle adjustment to fit the shortest path and lock it in and hone the entire blade making it easyer to maintain. If you hand sharpen as I do use a clean stone and listen for the tale tale sounds **Q: Why is it so difficult to contact customer support?** A: I bought 6 and had no issues. The only issue I had was sharper than a razor blade. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It is a sturdy and beautiful knife *by C***S on March 30, 2021* The knife is what they claim it to be.

I didn't even need to compare the two to figure out that is was actually Damascus. One thing that I didn't really love was the two dark spots on the knives, but it isn't a deal breaker for me.

Sturdy, sharp and beautiful. Detachable decoration (I had to hide it from the cat). Now I need to get a plastic one so I don't cut myself learning how to twirl it, because this would slice my palm off. Fits on my belt. Clips in. Even has a throat punch option if you're not looking to actually stab someone! 10/10 would recommend. ## Frequently Bought Together - BIGCAT ROAR 7.5″ Handmade Karambit Damascus Hunting Knife with Leather Sheath - Ideal for Skinning, Camping, Outdoor - Full Tang Fixed Blade Karambit Knife with Walnut Wood Handle - Desert Fox - MASALONG Outdoor Survival claw Tactical teeth Knife Double edged sharp Fixed Blade Knife With Sheath (Damascus full tang) - Cold Steel Karambit Trainer Black, 4.0" --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/221049250-handmade-damascus-karambit-knife-curved-full-tang-7-5-tactical](https://www.desertcart.us/products/221049250-handmade-damascus-karambit-knife-curved-full-tang-7-5-tactical) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-08-18*
