Crowner Korambit

This particular piece is made for a very high level Silat teacher by the name of Maha Guru Richard DeBordes.  I have included a picture of him with it. A Gift for Maha Guru Richard Crabbe De-Bordes from the Texas Region Silat Practitioners : Pencak Silat Dallas and the Tigers Den. Custom made for his hand .Micarta handles, Tec-Lok system, made of Elmax steel with differential heat treat...near indestructible...razor sharp. By Jeff Crowner. An awesome karambit. feels wonderful in the hand. Maha Guru has serial no 1 in this series. It would appear that he enjoys the blade. The blade steel is BuCorp Elmax with a OD green G10 handle material.  It is one of my favorites to use and train with.  Very well balanced and light.

This particular piece has the Silat/Kali practitioner in mind.  I took about five years of constantly changing lines and blade shapes/sizes to come up with the right fixed blade korambit.  The blade has been tested by a wide variety of Silat people and operators with good success.  The blade is L-6, differentially heat treated and clothed with Terotuf scales from Columbia Industrial products.   This piece is for serious operators and advanced practitioners or the blade arts. I can make it in either chisel or flat grind.  Micarta/G-10 is optional for handle material....
