MK Knives & Tools Claw “Integrated Circuit” Karambit Knife | Vanadis 4 Extra | PVD

MK Knives & Tools Claw “Integrated Circuit” Karambit Knife | Vanadis 4 Extra | PVD. Originally, karambit was created in distant times in Malaysia and the Philippines, and its shape was inspired by the claws of large predatory cats. Characteristic for its construction were a curved blade and an inverted handle with a finger hole. The Claw (MK-05) knife refers to this style, but its blade has a straight cutting edge, which definitely increases its functionality.

Claw knife named “Integrated Circuit” because of the pattern visible in the handle is an illustration of precision and order. It is showing a fragment that is part of a larger whole. In an integrated circuit, one broken line indicates a failure of the entire system, so there is no room for imperfections. Similarly, in Marcin Kampka’s projects, we see the pursuit of perfection and work discipline. What we also see in them can only be limited by our imagination … and since you are here, you are certainly one of the people who do not lack imagination!

The presented MK Knives & Tools Claw “Integrated Circuit” Karambit Knife | Vanadis 4 Extra | PVD knife has a blade made of premium Vanadis 4 Extra steel, with a very interesting  double grind (characteristic grooves on the blade). The blade has titanium PVD coating. Handle made of durable G10 composite (connection of gray and yellow colour), and a gray kydex holster. The holster can be mounted vertically or horizontally or at a selected angle thanks to a specially adapted black kydex buckle.

About standards and the knifemaking process at MK Knives & Tools

Knifemaker Marcin Kampka does not recognize compromises. Each of its products is planned down to the smallest detail, each project, especially the custom one, must have individual features. Each knife must have a perfect finish, grinding, chamfering, etc. All screws – even the smallest ones – are gently chamfered to remove angular finishes. Each knife is treated as a separate whole and the holster is treated the same way. One must fit the other, the patterns on the holster must be consistent with those on the handle, etc. Mirroring every MK Knives & Tools knife we see not only the product, but we “feel” the hours spent in the studio. When we buy Marcin Kampka’s product, we buy many hours of his work. We can be sure that the knife has been polished to the smallest detail.

Please read more about the creative process and the MK Knives & Tools brand in an interview with Marcin Kampka HERE.

About model Claw karambit knife in general

Claw (MK-05) is produced from different types of steel (Elmax, Vanadis 4 Extra, Vanadis 23 etc.), with different ways of finishing the blade (PVD coating, stonewash, satin). The handle is usually made of a G10 composite, with a variety of colors and different original patterns, including those created by filling the designed cavities with resin in a color also chosen by the knifemaker. For each model, the knifemaker forms a suitable holster from kydex / holstex, whose colours (holster and accessories) match those of the blade and handle to make a consistent set.

About the presented execution of Claw karambit knife

Premium steel as the shank of the knife construction

The presented Claw knife is made of one piece of Vanadis 4 Extra steel. So this is a full-tang knife. The steel used in the knife is an extremely durable material, very hard, resistant to overload, abrasion and chipping. The knife has been coated with a black stonewash PVD coating which additionally strengthens the steel and improves anti-corrosion properties. The coating has anti-reflective properties.

Claw knife dimensions

The dimensions of Claw knife are very compact. Compact, i.e. handy, non-oversized (the total length is 185 mm), which, combined with the shape, allows for vigorous and quick use. The handle with the finger hole is a section of over 100 mm that will fit even larger hands. The blade, 70 mm long, is sufficient for everyday tasks such as cutting, pricking, planing and slitting.

Grind and blade shape for effective cutting 

An interesting fact about the knife’s performance is the innovative double hollow grind. It is visible at first glance in the form of characteristic grooves on both the real blade and the false blade. The concavity of the cut is very subtle and, in addition to the visual effect, it is designed to support the cutting process (it reduces the effect of the material sticking to the blade and facilitates splitting of the material).

There is a jimpig on the back of the blade, which makes it easier to press the blade against the material to be cut. This element makes precise cuts, makes it easier to guide the cutting edge over the material and helps with pressure-intensive cuts.

The sturdy, ergonomic knife handle

The slim, shapely oval of the handle fits very well and lies securely in the hand, its gentle contouring helps to prevent the hand from slipping to the cutting edge. The rounded back protruding from each side of the handle makes holding the knife comfortable and secure.

The ergonomic, revised shape of the handle is made of a very durable G10. G10 is resistant to moisture, temperature changes, most solvents and acids and has high resistance to mechanical damage. In the presented knife the cover material has a rough pattern to prevent the handle from slipping in the hand. The handle covers have been screwed with black PVD steel screws. The screws complete the knife’s design, elegantly blending in with a black-finished blade.

At the end of the knife handle there is a hole for attaching an additional wire, which can serve as a protection against dropping the knife during operation, or an additional gripper to facilitate the removal of the knife from the holster. Originally, it includes a paracord section with a shade matching the design.

The sophisticated holstex holster and various mounting options 

The knife has a holster made of hand-formed kydex material, which is characterized by high impact and scratch resistance, characterized by low moisture absorption, resistant to various weather conditions and many chemicals. In the presented model, the holster is made of black material.

We attach the holster to the belt with the use of kydex buckles, which can also be attached to MOLLE solutions. The initial mounting of the buckles allows the entire belt to be mounted vertically. However, it is possible to change the position of the buckles in a way that allows for more discreet horizontal installation (along the belt, on the back or at the front on the hip belt). Then just unscrew the buckles and change their arrangement. Strongly stable fastening (if we prefer it) can be obtained additionally by tying the holster through the through holes in it. Of course, you can use the paracord supply that the holster is wrapped in (its color corresponds to the section at the knife).

QSP Knife Neckmuk QS125-C

229.00 zł Gross, ( 186.18 zł Net )
Neckmuk is a QSP Knife project designed by Arthur Brehm. This is a typical neck type knife, which is also emphasized in its name. The name Neckmuk also refers directly to the shape of the blade modeled in the knives used by one of the more famous nineteenth-century American promoters of life in the bosom of nature George „Nessmuk” Sears’s. Due to the fact that Nessmuk spent a large part of his life in the field, he thought that the camping knife should not be too large and have an exaggerated thickness and its shape should help in cutting meat and preparing food. The Neckmuk project definitely falls within this canon. It is a small, handy and agile knife with a fixed blade, which will be useful during various field activities, but it can also be your everyday blade.

TRC Knives Apocalypse Knife

2,239.00 zł Gross, ( 1,820.33 zł Net )
TRC Knives Apocalypse Knife. There’s a place in the Bay of Bengal by the name of North Sentinel Island. It’s a place you shouldn’t go to. The Sentinelese reject any kind of contact with the rest of the world, and have lived this way for thousands of years. Marco Polo described them as “a most brutish and savage race, having heads, eyes and teeth like those of dogs.” To this day, no outsider has had success trying to enter the mysterious island. Whoever dears to approach North Sentinel, is attacked by the home-proud islanders with apocalyptic rage. And who could blame them? The way they feel when approached by the Other, is pretty much the same way we would feel if approached by aliens. What would you do in this scenario? We created the Apocalypse knife for do-or-die survival situations. To improve your chances of survival during the apocalypse, we handcrafted this knife from a thick slab of premium quality steel. Apocalypse sports a blade that is 172 mm long. What’s more, it features textured handle scales that, together with thumb jimping, provide the apocalyptic warrior with a comfortable and reassuring grip. With a total length of 300 mm, this beastly-looking survival knife will make your enemies think twice. Just looking at it, you know it means business. Apocalypse comes with a handmade Kydex ® sheath. If our planet is ever under attack, we will need the real man to show up. The kind of man who loves his home as much as those crazy Sentinelese islanders love their island.

TRC Knives Mille Cuori | Vanadis 4 Extra

2,099.00 zł Gross, ( 1,706.50 zł Net )
TRC Knives Mille Cuori | Vanadis 4 Extra! Heroes aren’t made in a day. Giuseppe Garibaldi was a fisherman, and a candle maker before he became one of the greatest war leaders of all time. With all cards stacked against him, he mobilized a thousand volunteers (The one thousand) and won battle after battle against corrupt and passionless regimes. To liberate and unite his beloved Italy, the great general chose men like him. Give me the ready hand rather than the ready tongue, he said. And to those who wished to follow him, he promised nothing but hunger, thirst, forced marches, battles, and death. Because that’s what it took. For many years, we have dreamed about designing a perfect military knife in the image of a fearless military man. To celebrate our collaboration with military clients, we came up with Mille Cuori which is a knife designed specifically for tactical operators. This knife is made from premium quality steel which is perfect for hard use and guarantees razor sharp cutting edge. The hand ground blade measures 132 mm long. To protect the steel from elements we coated it with extra tough DLC coating. Featuring waffle textured scales, Mille Cuori has an outstanding grip, ensuring absolute control in both wet and dry conditions. For universal functionality, the knife has a pommel which can be used as a hammer. Mille Cuori comes with a handmade Kydex sheath. Carrying the power and intelligence of a thousand warriors, Mille Cuori is a must-have knife for both soldiers with military ranks, and civilians with military hearts.
