★ Karambit | Stained (Factory New)

With its curved blade mimicking a tiger's claw, the karambit was developed as part of the southeast Asian martial discipline of silat. The knife is typically used with a reverse grip, with the finger ring on the index finger. It has been given a forced patina using lemon and mustard dripped onto the surface. If you think it's messy now, wait until you see it under a blacklight
