Another beauty!
What is the application for this type of blade......? Nice quality word.
I had a compass, but without a map, it's just a cool toy to show you where oceans and ice are.

Yep, that's a keeper.
KF7ZJR I always carry a pocket knife, just in Case.
Glad you like it. It can be held in several different ways with or without the use on the finger hole and is actually much more versatile than it appears. If held using a conventional knife grip, it behaves much like any other knife.
Kerambit: As proven by its etymological roots, the kerambit originated in Java where, according to folklore, it was inspired by the claws of big cats. As with most weapons of the region, it was originally an agricultural implement designed to rake roots, gather threshing and plant rice. As it was weaponised, the blade became more curved to maximise cutting potential. Through Indonesia's trade network and close contact with neighbouring countries, the karambit was eventually dispersed through what are now Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines and Thailand.
