There is one picture posted with a scale, the knife is approx. 7 inch (ca. 18 cm) long. And yes, it is mainly a female defense weapon. To the karambit family belong in Indonesia the korambi and lawi ayam (tail feather of the cock) and in the Philippines it's called karambit. The Indonesian knives are without guard normally so my question.
