Taring Wira — The Fang of the Warrior
In the hands of a true warrior, a blade is more than steel, it becomes a reflection of spirit. Taring Wira, translated as "Fang of the Warrior," embodies that sacred balance between calmness and controlled power.
Born from the living philosophy of Silat Warisan Aliran Tua, this blade carries the ancestral energy of the Malay Archipelago, where every movement, every edge, and every curve tells a story of discipline, focus, and intent.
Taring means fang — the sharp instinct of nature's guardians.
Wira means warrior — noble, composed, and fearless in silence.
Together they form a symbol of balance and awareness.
The Taring Wira bites only when needed and rests when calm, the way of the true warrior. It represents restraint, readiness, and the peace that comes with mastery.
Performance & Feel
Every line and contour of the Taring Wira has been crafted to follow the natural flow of the hand.
This knife is perfectly balanced, giving it an almost weightless precision that makes transitions effortless, from tip-up to tip-down, from edge-out to edge-in.
No matter how you hold it, the Taring Wira feels like an extension of your body.
Whether you choose the hammer grip or the ice-pick grip, the handle molds into your hand and becomes undeniably yours. Once you feel this knife, you won't want to let it go. It becomes part of your rhythm, your flow, your essence as a warrior.
As with every weapon designed and crafted by Marcel Horstman, the Taring Wira's perfect balance is what makes it a fast, responsive tool for close-quarter combat, lightning-quick transitions, intuitive control, and immediate confidence in the hand.
