Treat yourself to Steel Tiger, Karambit Knife, Made of 8A Stainless Steel

Steel tiger®, karambit knife with blade made of aus 8a stainless steel

2017 Model



The Steel Tiger® is a completely modern tactical interpretation of the Indonesian Karambit knife. This knife is the result of a collaboration between Lynn C. Thompson and the late knifemaker Steven Likarisch. Their goal was to harmoniously combine the best features of this hook-shaped classic with modern materials and design elements.



Its strongly curved and extremely pointed blade made of aus 8a stainless steel with stonewashed finish has been vacuum hardened and low temperature treated, has a scandi sharpness and therefore has maximum strength, cutting power, edge retention and performance.



The shaft is made from a durable core made from fully coated Griv-Ex™, as seen in the bolster, thumb rest and stunning pommel ring. This Griv-Ex™ core was then injection molded with premium, open-spun Kray-Ex™ material. Even in cold or wet conditions, this Kray-Ex™ coating provides excellent slip resistance.



The Steel Tiger® includes a military-style Secure-Ex® sheath to ensure safety and comfort. You can strap the knife to your gear or carry it on your boot or belt using the removable clip.



Stainless steel aus 8a

Cold Steel® has been using the same expertly hardened Japanese Aus 8A steel for nearly three decades. This steel has been extremely tested and has proven over the years to be ideal for making blades for work knives – it is hard and corrosion resistant, with good edge retention and is also easy to sharpen.
