Fox Knives Karambit Folder Knife Gray Aluminum (3.2" Bead Blast) 478

EDIT: I just used this knife on some paper/meat setups vs. my spear and dagger points. The spear and dagger of course pierce through anything with relative ease. The Karambit on the other hand simply shredded the entirety of the setups. In terms of effectiveness, this thing is going to be easily used during an altercation vs the dagger and spear which require accuracy. Edit2: Used this blade much more. The lock is still tight and you have to use some force for the flip even if you try to lube it up which I've done several times. I recommend Micarta versions! My Harpy by Spyderco did the same even with being serrated. A few drags, but the same amount of damage with added shred. I knew I had to have a piece for my tactical collection. This hits a pretty decent spot in cost, has a strong liner lock, and great design. The design itself feels rough is is rough from the aluminum. All together, great for my collection, but not as usable as every other blade.

I'm not really into Karambits, but I thought I'd try this one. The materials and craftsmanship are excellent. The blade came nice and sharp, the coating on the scales looks and feels nice, and the jimping is in all the right places. I have medium size hands, and the ring is too far away for my pinky finger. It would definitely fit someone with large hands better. Even with this, the ergonomics are still pretty good. My only complaint is that the action is kind of tight. I tried to adjust this out, but to no avail. It just won't flip open without a wrist flick. I consider this to be a minor issue, though, on account of the wave opener being awesome! I was surprised at how useful this blade shape is. I cut a lot of padding material at work, and this knife tears through it with ease. I'm so impressed, I might get a fixed Karambit sometime later.
