The Indonesian Karambit by JW SteelCrafts is a handcrafted folding take on one of Southeast Asia's most distinctive blade shapes. It features the signature inward-curved blade and a finger ring for a secure, controlled hold, in a compact folding design that is easy to carry. Rooted in traditional craftsmanship, it works as a capable utility tool and a standout collector's piece.
This knife suits martial arts practitioners, collectors, and outdoor users who want something genuinely different. Because each knife is hand-forged, small differences in finish give every piece its own character.
The karambit originated in the islands of Indonesia, where it began as an agricultural tool with a curved blade inspired by the claw of a big cat. Farmers used the hooked shape for harvesting and fieldwork, while the finger ring kept the tool secure in the hand. The karambit became closely tied to the Indonesian martial art of silat, which spread its use and refined its technique across the region. Folding versions later made the design easier to carry. This handmade Indonesian karambit honors that heritage, pairing the traditional curved profile and finger ring with a practical folding build.

Nice Fit
Color: Black, White, Light Gray, Size: 3X-Large
I picked this up looking for something simple but clean, and it delivered. The fit is comfortable, the material feels solid, and it looks good without needing much effort. It’s one of those pieces you can throw on and still look put together.

Good value, soft and comfortable
Color: Black, Army Green, Light Gray, Size: 4X-Large, Color: Black, Army Green, Light Gray, Size: 4X-Large
Initial thoughts are very positive with this 3 pack shirt set. The green is similar to an OD military green and the black and gray are standard color shades. Material is soft and sizes are true to size. The mock turtleneck isn’t too tight but may still be a little annoying to some people. I do question the amount of spandex in these shirts. Tag says 5% but these shirts are extremely stretchy and feels like a higher spandex content. It’s also a little tough to figure out which way is the front of the shirt. Visually rhe front does have a lower collar line than the back but would still be nice to have a brand tag printed in the back of the shirt for quicker identification.
Overall for roughly $12 a shirt these are a good choice for everyday wear. I will update rating if these shirts fail to meet expectations after further use.
