This style knife originated in 11th-century Indonesia as a versatile tool for everyday use, but quickly evolved into a formidable EDC force multiplier. 900 years ago this type blade may have been a commoners only edged tool, since larger more dangerous blades were highly restricted, yet this small curved knife has proven itself historically as more than enough for a man who can properly wield it. This Bone Tactical version simply modernizes the time proven design. Traditional curved blades, though iconic, often fail to meet modern needs, being bulky, impractical to carry, or poorly constructed. Enter the Bone Tactical Chakar—a modern, optimized solution built for performance, concealment, speed of access, ease of carry, and durability.
Key Features
- Compact Yet Powerful: The curved blade delivers the slashing power of much larger knives while remaining discreet and easy to carry. Its design ensures that it's nearly impossible to lose, with the finger ring allowing secure grip and seamless transitions between close and medium ranges.
- Ergonomic Design: Precision jimping and custom-molded contours provide maximum grip and usability in both standard and over-the-knuckles grip positions.
- Dual-Functionality: A single sharpened edge enhances martial flow, while the unsharpened side works with the integrated bottle opener for trapping and hooking. This configuration also makes it legal in more jurisdictions (check local laws).
- Custom Quality: Each Chakar is handcrafted from 3/16" top quality steel, heat-treated in house, ensuring every piece is a unique, heirloom-quality blade capable of hard use. Continuous field testing ensures ongoing improvements to design and performance.
Carry Options
- Kydex Sheath: Modular and ambidextrous, specifically designed for inside-the-waistband (IWB) carry in civilian settings or attachment to kit in tactical applications.
- Optional Leather Sheath: Luxurious, handmade from premium leather, the leather sheath available for separate purchase allows for comfortable OWB belt carry and quick access. Wearable vertically or horizontally, it’s an ideal choice for professional or casual environments.
Innovation Beyond Tradition
Bone Tactical was the first to incorporate a bottle opener on this style blade, slightly enhancing its functionality for trapping techniques, but greatly enhancing it's practical use. This thoughtful addition underscores the brand’s commitment to maximizing utility and capability in each tool, with the addition of a little extra style whenever possible. There are few, if any, more impressive knives that can be whipped out to pop the top on one's favorite capped beverage.
Every Bone Tactical Chakar is a finely crafted collector’s item designed for modern EDC while honoring the blade’s historic roots. Whether used for daily carry, or something more serious, it is built to perform when it matters most.
