Historically, the karambit is widely used in Asia as a utility blade during routine chores and as a personal defense blade. It would have been considered the EDC blade of ancient Southeast Asia. Even today, in remote Filipino and Indonesian regions, karambits are popular. For thousands of years now, karambits have been preferred for their concealability, precision, and stability.

The curved blade and secure grip are great for cutting and slicing. He karambit became intertwined with Pencak Silat (also spelled Pentjak Silat), the indigenous and deadly close-combat fighting art of Indonesia. It is now widely recognized as one of several traditional weapons commonly associated with silat, kuntao, and several other Southeast Asian martial arts, including Filipino kali and eskrima. It's unclear whether the art of combat impacted the karambit's design influenced the development of Pencak Silat. Only a few weapons and tools can match the karambit's ability to cut as effectively & efficiently as the karambit.
