Kama Knife – Traditional Japanese-Style Hand-Forged Survival Blade

Rooted in history and reimagined by Nepalese blacksmiths, the Kama Knife is inspired by the traditional Japanese kama — an agricultural tool used for harvesting crops, which later evolved into a weapon in classical martial arts. Historically used by Okinawan farmers as a self-defense weapon, the kama’s unique curved blade made it highly effective for hooking, slicing, and close combat.

Everest Forge brings this centuries-old tool into the modern age with a hand-forged, fully functional survival knife built for real-world utility. Forged from 5160 high-carbon spring steel, this blade blends cultural heritage with rugged craftsmanship. The water-tempered 8.5-inch curved blade is strong and sharp, capable of clearing brush, chopping wood, or handling field tasks with ease. A full tang construction and 12.5-inch rosewood handle provide reach, balance, and grip, while the leather scabbard ensures safe carrying in any environment.

This is more than a knife — it’s a living tribute to historical craftsmanship, reborn for today’s outdoor adventurer.
