High Desert Blade Works partnered with 5x5 Combat Systems to develop a model-specific enhanced access module exclusively for our Tarani Journeyman Karambits. Inspired by the revolutionary Emerson Opener (“wave”) created by custom knifemaker Ernest Emerson, this module provides a fast, reliable one-hand opening solution tailored to the unique geometry of the Journeyman.

When deployed, the forward-facing hook engages the edge of your pocket to positively open the blade as it’s drawn, enabling immediate readiness. Designed specifically for the Tarani Journeyman Karambit, it integrates seamlessly with the knife for optimal function, improved leverage, and more consistent deployment. Precision machined from solid stainless steel, this module is proudly made in the USA and built for a lifetime of hard use.
