Cold Steel 22KFS Tiger Claw Folding Karambit 3" CPM-S35VN Serrated Blade, G10 Handles, Lockback
Part #: CS22KFS | Cold Steel Knives
Description
CS22KFS: 22KFS Tiger Claw
Cold Steel
The Cold Steel Tiger Claw represents the future of folding Karambit design!
Created by celebrated custom-knife maker Andrew Demko, this exciting multi-functional folder is simply overflowing with design innovations!
The blade was designed following Andrew Demko's extensive testing and experimentation as a journeyman electrician and engineer. When making his own multi-purpose handmade work knives, he made his own karambit/hawkbill hybrid blade that could cut rope, cable, wire and anything else his vocation threw in his path.
This knife served him well through years of hard use, and, when tasked by Cold Steel to develop his own take on a folding Karambit, this blade shape immediately came to mind.
Replicating Andrew's original blade design but in premium CPM-S35VN stainless steel, the Tiger Claw offers the tactical cutting and slashing performance of the Filipino and Indonesian fighting karambit with the utility and function of a working man's hawkbill.
With the patented Demko thumb-plate, the Tiger Claw offers a fully ambidextrous fast draw from the pocket either in a saber grip or a traditional blade-down karambit grip, deploying the blade with lightning fast ease!
Made with his signature minimalist style, Demko's Tiger Claw features a slim line CNC machined US G10 handle, a matte black aluminum ring and perhaps most excitingly of all, the all new locking system! The uniquely modified Tri-Ad locking system features all of the strength, reliability and performance of the world famous Tri-Ad lock, but with fully ambidextrous one-handed forward release opening - making this knife a breeze to open and close with one hand regardless of how you choose to carry or deploy it!

Pros: Handle Material, Blade Material
Cons: None
Outstanding
I can tell by reviews here and elsewhere, that the handle design is misunderstood. It is designed to give you the extension or reach of a longer blade. The knife’s intended use is a defensive or offensive weapon and I see no problems with the handle, whether overhand or underhand grip. The ring makes it a very secure fit to your hand.The lock can easily be filed down on your next cleaning, but will loosen over time. Al in all, I am very satisfied with this knife.

Pros: Handle Material, Blade Material
Cons: None
Great knife, great value.
CTS steel, G10 handles, excellent design, a bargain. The longer handle, when pinky finger is in the ring, gives you the extension of a 5” blade. The weight of the blade is excellent for snap-cuts. Although not a true Karambit, this is a brilliant design for a defense weapon. The lock is not a issue. I like knowing I have a lock that won’t fail.
