The Karambit (pronounced kah-rahm-bit) is a remarkable utility knife
that was born in the Indonesian archipelago with roots in Malaysia and
the Philippines. Akin to the Swiss Army knife of today, this was the
pocket knife of ancient villagers. This extraordinary little personal
tool was first documented to be carried around the early 11th century
AD and to this very day can be seen in various remote locations
throughout the Indonesian islands, parts of Malaysia and the Southern
Philippine islands.
Although rumored to have been brought to America around the late 1800s,
the Karambit was officially introduced to the United States sometime in
the late 1950s and made popular, especially with martial artists,
through the late 1970s and 1980s. Virtually unknown in the secular
community, by the mid-1990s it was predominantly recognized as a
martial arts training element derived from the heritage of Indonesian
Pencak Silat, Malaysian Bursilat and Filipino Kali.
The predominant uses of the Karambit in ancient times were similar to
the uses of the European pocket knife: field work, including cutting
twine or rope; chopping fruits and vegetables; and, in some rare cases,
as an exceptional personal safety knife.

creative movement.

altercation and provides far more options for escape and personal
protection than any regular pocket knife.

like ballet.
