The Karambit is a working knife that originated in the Malay Archipelago and was first documented in the 11th century with the Ring at the end of the handle. Even today, the crescent-shaped blade is still used in fishery knives or the so-called gardener's pencils. The ring at the handle end allows a "hands-free work" with the knife, without having to put it out of hand and reduces the risk of loss, for example, in the maritime environment. Today, however, the ring at the end of the handle is used rather sporty, for example, in various Philippine martial arts such as the Pencak Silat or the Philipino Kali to rotate the knife on the little finger. Ernest Emerson was a pioneer in the renaissance of this type of knife. From him comes the patent of the so-called Emerson Wave, a small hook on the back of the blade, which allows to open the blade while pulling out of his trouser pocket at the same time. Handle made of aluminum . With linerlock locking and clip
