Model: CS-92FK / CS92FK • UPC: 705442005759
The Cold Steel FGX Karambit (CS-92FK) brings iconic karambit ergonomics to an ultra-light, weatherproof fixed-blade platform. Inspired by traditional Southeast Asian ring knives, this modern interpretation uses Cold Steel’s Griv-Ex™ polymer for the “blade” profile and a Kray-Ex™ overmold for the handle—delivering a non-metallic, corrosion-proof tool with the distinctive index ring that supports secure handling in both forward and reverse grips. The 4" plain-edge profile and deep recurved belly offer precise edge indexing for training dummies and light utility tasks, while the tactile handle geometry locks your hand in for confident control.
Whether you’re a practitioner looking to drill grip transitions and flow patterns, an outdoor enthusiast wanting an ultra-light, rust-immune companion, or a collector of Cold Steel’s Nightshade-style implements, the FGX Karambit delivers authentic form with modern, maintenance-free materials.
Why the FGX Karambit Stands Out
Ultra-Light, Weatherproof Build
The Griv-Ex™ polymer blade profile won’t rust and shrugs off rain, sweat, and humidity. Ideal for humid climates, boats, and long-term storage.
Secure Kray-Ex™ Grip with Index Ring
The textured Kray-Ex™ handle and karambit ring promote sure retention, positive draws, and clean grip transitions—wet or dry, gloved or bare.
Classic Karambit Ergonomics
The curved profile provides natural edge alignment for controlled arcs and pulls, supporting practice of traditional techniques on proper training media.
Non-Reflective, Blacked-Out Profile
Low-glare aesthetics pair with a durable, impact-resistant construction ready for hard training environments.
Maintenance-Free Convenience
No oiling, no polishing—rinse and go. Polymer construction resists staining and everyday environmental wear.
Important: The FGX Karambit has a pointed tip and should be handled with care. Always use appropriate protective equipment and follow local laws and training best practices.
