Product Description
The CIVIVI Orthrus C20037B-1 is a compact fixed-blade karambit that combines a distinctive curved profile with a durable Nitro-V steel blade and black G10 handle. Designed for enthusiasts who appreciate unconventional knife designs, the Orthrus offers the simplicity and strength of a fixed blade in a compact, easy-to-carry format.
The 3.76-inch Nitro-V blade features a black stonewashed finish and a versatile karambit/straight blade profile. Nitro-V is a modern stainless tool steel known for its combination of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance.
The black G10 handle incorporates an integrated finger ring that gives the Orthrus its distinctive karambit character. At 4.87 ounces, the knife provides a substantial feel without being excessively heavy, and the included Kydex sheath provides a secure carry solution.
Nitro-V Karambit Blade
The 3.76-inch Nitro-V steel blade features a black stonewashed finish and karambit/straight blade profile. Nitro-V offers a well-rounded combination of toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance, making it a versatile choice for a compact fixed blade.
G10 Handle with Finger Ring
The black G10 handle provides a durable, lightweight grip and incorporates an integrated finger ring. The ring is a defining characteristic of the karambit design and gives the Orthrus its distinctive appearance.
Fixed-Blade Design
Unlike folding karambits, the Orthrus uses a fixed-blade construction with no moving parts. The included Kydex sheath provides a practical way to protect the blade and carry the knife when not in use.
