Perhaps no stranger our ears!

Karambit is a small hand-held blade curved shape of Southeast Asia, especially Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines. The Western world calls this Karambit knife, whereas in Minang called Kurambiak / Karambiak .
Unfortunately, unlike the western world karambit less popular or rarely introduced in Indonesia. Very rarely the martial arts warrior who will teach the technique to play Karambit. Very rarely did the martial arts warrior who demonstrated ability in public.
Understandably Karambit itself is actually included in the category of secret weapons, martial arts teacher who mastered not arbitrary want to lower their knowledge, except for students who really believed. And if he does not get a student who believed this, then Kerambit science was brought dead. "Silat Indonesia"
