Fox Tribal K Karambit Liner Lock Carbon Fiber Folding Knife [FOX802CG10]

The Igorot design reference behind the Tribal K

Doug Marcaida explains that the Tribal K was inspired by a karambit designed by his friend Daniel Mumbakki Foronda. Fox’s account connects Foronda’s Igorot heritage in the northern Philippines with the boar-tooth shapes that informed the blade and the triangular motifs carried into the handle.

That documented design story explains why the Tribal K looks different from Fox’s more conventional curved-blade karambits.
