I’m in love… ❤ with this karambit neck knife! What a precious piece of jewelry-weapon! Part of the DARK (Direct Action Response Knives) series, this DMaX karambit neck knife was designed by the karambit expert himself, Doug Marcaida. He collaborated with Max Venom to come up with this sweet sweet gem.

Watch the video below to find out more about DMax. It’s quite graphic, so proceed with caution:

Filipino Martial Arts and Weaponry: Kara, the Karambit Training Knife

Remember my karambit training knife? Let’s call it ‘Kara’ for reference purposes. Not very creative, I know. Well, anyway, Kara recently had a total makeover! Yes, I’m talking as if it’s a living thing. No, I’m not crazy.

So today, in weapons fashion, here’s the new Kara in cobalt blue and mint green paracord with specks of midnight black and marigold yellow.

Thanks to my fab and generous teammate, Bobby, for jazzing up my 1st karambit trainer. I super adore its new look! 😀

My First Karambit Training Knife

Just a quick post to show you my first ever (maybe the last) karambit training knife. I got this ravishing red karambit or kerambit from Master Virgil Cavada’s Applied Eskrima (Balintawak style) training last weekend. It’s made from stainless steel (at least, I think) and it’s lightweight. Cheap also at Php500 or around $12.

Sure, it’s not Doug Marcaida’s DART Knife, but I’m cool with that. This karambit training knife is conveniently placed beside my laptop and mouse. I flip it around in between working in front of my computer. I have other weapons (training and live) strategically located in my room. I’ll perhaps talk about them later.

Hailed from Indonesia, the karambit is arguably the deadliest knife in the whole wide world:

P.S.
Speaking of Master Virgil Cavada, I’ll blog about his recently concluded Filipino martial arts seminar in Manila very soon. Stay tuned! Subscribe to my blog to keep posted. Here’s that post: Filipino Martial Arts Seminar in Manila: Master Virgil Cavada of Applied Eskrima (Balintawak Style).

 

Filipino Martial Arts Weapon: Doug Marcaida’s The DART Knife

One of my idols in Filipino Martial Arts, Doug Marcaida now designs edged weapons for FOX Knives Italy. The video below is part of what he calls the DARK (Direct Action Response Knives) series.

Can I just say, Yum?! The DART knife is so sexy cool. I like that it has a ring feature found in karambits. And it’s a straight blade not curved. It can also be used as an impact weapon when closed. Awesome! Watch below.
