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 sickle later adapted into a weapon in Okinawan martial arts. Originally used for harvesting, the kama's distinctive curved shape made it an effective tool for self-defense. Everest Forge revives this historic blade with a rugged, functional design built for the outdoors.

This hand-forged survival knife is crafted from 5160 high-carbon spring steel, known for its toughness and edge retention. The water-tempered 8-inch curved blade delivers reliable performance in tasks like brush clearing, batoning, and general field work. Paired with a 12-inch full tang rosewood handle, this long-handled knife offers superior leverage, control, and reach. Its unpolished finish preserves a raw, battle-worn aesthetic, while the included handcrafted leather scabbard ensures safe carry and storage.

A true fusion of Japanese heritage and Himalayan craftsmanship, the Kama Knife is perfect for survivalists, martial artists, collectors, and anyone who values historical authenticity in a fully functional tool.
