Ivory Bone Karambit Duo Knife 6" Handmade Damascus Matching Set of 2 with bone handle

The karambit's inward, claw-like curve originated in Southeast Asian farming tools before evolving into a distinctive collector's blade shape recognized worldwide for its unique cutting geometry. Presenting two matching karambits together as a duo gives collectors a genuine pair rather than a single standalone piece, appealing to those who display or handle matched sets. The Ivory Bone Karambit Duo continues that curved blade tradition, giving this ivory bone handle knife genuine collector-grade presence as a matched pair.

Introduction

Each knife in this karambit duo set measures 6 inches overall, with a 3-inch blade and 3-inch handle,identical dimensions across both pieces. This matching karambit knife set features ivory or cream bone with a cross engraving, secured by a brass bolster and black pins. Both blades share the same curved profile and Damascus construction. This piece suits collectors who want a genuinely matched set rather than two unrelated karambits.

Ivory Bone Karambit Duo Blade

The karambit or hawkbill curved profile on this bone handle karambit is hand forged from genuine Damascus steel on both knives, each carrying its own individual wave pattern. Fixed blade construction gives this collector-grade claw knife set real structural integrity despite the curved geometry. The cross engraving appears on both pieces, tying the pair together visually alongside their matching dimensions.

Uses and Safety

This set works well for collecting and display, with both fixed blades suited to general utility tasks when handled carefully given the curved profile. Always handle the blades carefully due to their inward curve, and store them safely away from children. Dry both Damascus blades fully after any use to protect the forged pattern from rust.

Product Care for JW SteelCrafts Hand-Forged Products

To ensure the longevity and beauty of your hand-forged JW SteelCrafts products, follow these essential care instructions:

1. Regular Cleaning
   Wipe your knives, swords, axes, and rings with a soft cloth to remove dust and debris. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and a non-abrasive cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasives that could damage the steel’s finish.
2. Dry Thoroughly
   After cleaning, ensure your product is completely dried. This helps prevent water spots, rust, or corrosion, particularly on blades and steel surfaces exposed to moisture.
3. Proper Storage
   Store your hand-forged products in a dry, cool place to prevent oxidation or rust. For long-term storage, consider applying a thin layer of oil (e.g., mineral oil or gun oil) to the metal surfaces, or using a rust inhibitor. When storing knives and swords, keep them in protective sheaths or pouches to prevent contact with other materials.
4. Avoid Impact
   While designed for strength and durability, avoid dropping or striking your steel products against hard surfaces. This can cause damage to the blade, edge, or overall integrity of the piece.
5. Edge Maintenance (For Knives & Swords)
   Periodically sharpen the blades to maintain their cutting edge. Use a proper sharpening stone or take your product to a professional for maintenance. Always sharpen in the correct direction to preserve the blade’s integrity.
6. Routine Inspection
   Regularly inspect your products for any signs of wear, rust, or damage. If you notice any issues, reach out to us for maintenance, restoration, or repair services.

By following these care instructions, your JW SteelCrafts products will retain their craftsmanship, functionality, and beauty for years to come.
