In the wild, the talon evolved to become one of nature’s most effective weapons. Hence the name of this DM Talon folding karambit designed by Forged in Fire host and famed weapons expert Doug Marcaida. Its perfectly placed frame lock is easy to disengage, while offering a solid lockup. The groove on the back of the spine is perfect for a thumb-supported grip. With translucent handles, a D2 blade that cuts like a laser, and a patented BRAMP opening mechanism makes it a modern take on a classic design. Learn More

If fixed-blade karambits are more your style, accept nothing less than one designed by Forged in Fire host Doug Macaida — a man who has seen it all when it comes to knives. The D2 blade’s curved design is small, but precise and can act as a hook for takedowns. With a compact overall length, kydex sheath, and ring that makes a perfect impact weapon, it’s ideal to tuck into your waistband and carry as your primary blade or as a backup weapon. This knife is as well suited for self-defense and martial artists as it is for collectors and knife enthusiasts. Learn More
