COLD STEEL TIGER CLAW FOLDING KNIFE: The blade was designed following extensive testing and experimentation by Andrew Demko as a Journeyman Electrician and Engineer.
When making his own multi-purpose hand-made work knives, he created his own Karambit/Hawkbill hybrid blade that could cut rope, cable, and wire.
This knife served him well through years of hard use, and when tasked by Cold Steel to develop his own take on a folding Karambit, this blade shape immediately came to mind.
Replicating Andrew's original blade design but in premium S35VN steel, the Tiger Claw offers the tactical cutting and slashing performance of the Filipino and Indonesian fighting Karambit with the utility and function of a working man's Hawkbill.
With the patented Demko thumb-plate, the Tiger Claw offers a fully ambidextrous fast draw from the pocket either in a saber grip or a traditional blade-down Karambit grip, deploying the blade with ease at lightning-fast speed!
Made with a signature minimalist style, Demko's Tiger Claw features a slim line CNC machined G-10 handle, a matte black aluminum ring, and an exclusive Tri-Ad locking system.
The Tri-Ad lock is designed to withstand terrific impact forces while being almost impervious to shock; it has passed the most gruesome torture testing in the industry.
