BattlTac Double-Lock Karambit BATTLTAC-KARAMBIT – 2.12" D2 Folding Karambit
The BattlTac Double-Lock Karambit BATTLTAC-KARAMBIT is BattlBox's first official in-house BattlTac design, built around a 2.12" D2 tool-steel curved blade. It handles ordinary daily cutting — boxes, cordage, packaging — but the hooked karambit geometry and finger ring were designed for retention-first control and self-defense use.
The headline feature is in the name: the BattlTac Double-Lock Karambit BATTLTAC-KARAMBIT uses a lock back paired with a secondary locking mechanism that prevents the blade from opening accidentally in a pocket. The pocket clip is both removable and reversible, so carry position is up to you.

Frequently Asked Questions
What steel is the BattlTac Double-Lock Karambit BATTLTAC-KARAMBIT made from?
The BattlTac Double-Lock Karambit BATTLTAC-KARAMBIT uses a D2 blade. D2 is a high-carbon, high-chromium tool steel known for excellent wear resistance and long edge retention; it holds an edge noticeably longer than budget stainless steels, though it is semi-stainless and benefits from being wiped dry after wet use.
What is a karambit and what is the finger ring for?
A karambit is a curved, claw-shaped knife derived from a Southeast Asian agricultural blade. The ring at the end of the handle is a retention feature — on the BattlTac Double-Lock Karambit BATTLTAC-KARAMBIT you index your index or pinky finger through it so the knife cannot be stripped out of your hand, and it lets you transition grips without ever losing control of the blade.
How does the double lock on the BattlTac Double-Lock Karambit BATTLTAC-KARAMBIT work?
The BattlTac Double-Lock Karambit BATTLTAC-KARAMBIT combines a lock back with a secondary locking mechanism. The lock back is what secures the blade in the open position; the secondary lock is a separate catch that holds the blade shut so it cannot drift or deploy on its own inside a pocket or pack.
What are the dimensions of the BattlTac Double-Lock Karambit BATTLTAC-KARAMBIT?
The BattlTac Double-Lock Karambit BATTLTAC-KARAMBIT measures 6.16" open and 4.75" closed, with a 2.12" blade, and weighs 6.3 oz. The steel-and-G10 handle construction accounts for most of that weight and gives the knife a solid, planted feel in hand.
Can you change the carry position on the BattlTac Double-Lock Karambit BATTLTAC-KARAMBIT?
Yes. The pocket clip on the BattlTac Double-Lock Karambit BATTLTAC-KARAMBIT is both removable and reversible, so you can swap it to the other side for left- or right-hand carry, or take it off entirely for pouch or pocket carry.
Is the BattlTac Double-Lock Karambit BATTLTAC-KARAMBIT legal to carry?
Blade-length limits, karambit-specific restrictions and rules on knives carried for self-defense vary widely by state, county and city. The BattlTac Double-Lock Karambit BATTLTAC-KARAMBIT has a 2.12" blade, which is under most length limits, but check your local statutes before carrying — some jurisdictions regulate curved or ring-handled knives separately from ordinary folders.
Where can I buy the BattlTac Double-Lock Karambit BATTLTAC-KARAMBIT?
You can buy the BattlTac Double-Lock Karambit BATTLTAC-KARAMBIT at Going Gear, an authorized dealer. Going Gear has specialized in knives, flashlights and everyday carry gear since 2009 and ships from Georgia.
