Detailed product description
Emerson Karambit Flipper – speed, strength, and iconic design
The Emerson Karambit Flipper is one of the most distinctive folding knives from Emerson. It combines the aggressive shape of a traditional karambit with modern features – a flipper tab, ball bearings, and the legendary Wave feature for extremely fast deployment. The result? A tactical tool with an uncompromising grip and a precise blade ready for any challenge.
History and context
The Karambit Flipper builds on the Emerson Combat Karambit, but adds a flipper for even faster blade deployment and smoother action. It draws on the traditional Indonesian karambit design – the curved shape resembling a tiger’s claw provides maximum cutting control. This model is intended for those who want to combine a classic concept with the latest opening technologies.

Possible limitations

- Higher price – typical for handmade Emerson knives.

- Maintenance and sharpening
- 154CM is a stainless steel with good corrosion resistance and long edge retention. We recommend wiping the blade after use and lightly oiling it occasionally.
- To maintain the edge, we recommend the Spyderco Tri-Angle Sharpmaker Complete Sharpening System 204MF – ideal for plain edges as well. 🛒 Available on our Moskito.cz website.
