Description
The Bastinelli Mako karambit is designed by Bastien Coves and handcrafted in Italy from N690 Bohler stainless steel with a stonewash finish that hides wear and cuts glare. The compact 6cm hawkbill blade paired with contoured G10 handle scales creates a karambit that disappears on the belt yet delivers serious cutting capability. Ships with a custom Kydex sheath with adjustable retention.
Compact Authority
The Mako sits flat against your belt, invisible under a shirt until needed — the Kydex releases with a snap and suddenly you're holding a blade that fits your hand like it was moulded to your grip. The compact hawkbill handles everyday cutting tasks with surprising authority, the N690 edge staying keen through weeks of daily use without touching a stone.
Italian Artisan Design
Designer Bastien Coves draws inspiration from marine predators — the Mako's profile echoes the streamlined aggression of its namesake shark. Each knife is produced in Maniago, Italy, where N690 Bohler steel is CNC-ground and hand-finished with a stonewash treatment. The G10 handle scales are precision-contoured using 3D modelling, then hand-fitted to each blade for a seamless junction.
Looking After Your Blade
Keep your blade in top nick. Give it a rinse and dry after each use to stop corrosion. Every now and then, rub a thin coat of mineral oil along the blade. Sharpen with a whetstone or honing rod at a steady angle. Store it in a sheath, knife roll, or on a magnetic strip — never chucked loose in a drawer. For carbon and Damascus steel, give it a wipe after cutting acidic foods. For folding knives, clean out the pivot and pop a drop of lubricant in to keep it opening smoothly.
