I never saw one with a ring on the handle where I am though. That's, for me, the most powerful aspect of a karambit because it gives it some unique attributes. I have a trainer that I just flip full speed until the base of my index is red just for fun. Think of it from a combative perspective as a ...

At S90v you had my curiousity, and at damascus you had my attention. Sir, this is going to hurt my already empty wallet. Performance with style. And Phil Wilson, he knows some data. Now the next stop is k294 laminate?

I dunno if this qualifies as a karambit but it's an agricultural implement and it's very useful for making pull cuts. Some forms of eskrima incorporate it's use in their style. http://imageshack.us/a/img696/3928/sanggot.jpg Yup, thats one. Usually with a ring to help hold it so they can use their f...

Having spoke recently with relatives in s,e Asia and friends I have been told that although used for farming that version is longer and more curved . The folding karambit a western design by its profile is derived more from the Filipino type of kerambit note the different spellings. However one goo...

Now that sir, is a beauty. Earns the name Pingo.

Do you turn when you are stropping or do you lift and relay down and are you putting a lot of pressure on your edge when stropping? I had that problem when I first started stropping exactly as you described.

(Never turn on strop, don't imitate sweeney todd lol You have to lift and reset down.

This turned into a really interesting discussion. I didn't know you could use a karambit like that. Thank you. I enjoy it because it can be a nonlethal tool, and if needed the intimidation factor can end a fight fast. Even flipping a Karambit as if it was a double edged fixed blade makes even the m...

Hey Bladekeeper, I to used to have a problem (Split my knee cap a few years back in an odd occurrence but now im back up to like 95%) I noticed that problem and have had many other karambits close on me during a back hook. Leaves an interesting mark and not quite fun. I started using submissions out...

I was 6 when I got my first BB gun, and a month later had the tip of my finger taken off by that red rider. Healed up but I still have an impression on my finger. I think my dad gave me that so I would learn how to be around a gun. Shot a Shotgun a when I was 7 and it threw me back a foot. Around 8 ...

Being the devout HAWKBILL fan that I am this model has for sure caught my interest. I never really cared much for the original Karambit by Warren Thomas for being a viable self defense weapon. But as with all other Hawkbills I love working with I'm truly wondering if this model has any practical to...

A toast to spyderco!

I let my friend patina a high carbon steel for me and he ended up giving a bunch of condiments to his 7 year old and told him to draw on the blade. It actually turned out beautifully. Mustard seemed to be his favorite. I recommend stabbing a grapefruit or apple and leaving it in there for a bit. I h...

That domino has soooo much potential! I have to leave the country for a few months but when I get back that Karahawk has to be mine!

Considering Japan only uses VG10 keeping it as their pride, I highly doubt its that, Probably the steel is a mesh of 10 volkswagen beetles and 10 Geos melted down at a scrap yard.

I have used it for a month now and it has met every I have required with ease. Great knife

They are a good knife. Easy to carry as well

I have had both and I can't tell the difference between them. I have a 35+ year old pocket knife (my dads first knife) that i sometimes carry with 8a and it isn't unheattreated either.

They used it in a mule and the lion spy and it may make more appearances. I love it actually. Just feels good.

This has been my secret Edc for quite some time. It is not a knife I normally pull out in public when people are looking, so no one realizes I own one, but last week, there was an incident where a large group of people came to me. I believe they wanted to see my knife. So I pulled it out with the zi...

Yes, Farid's K2 is a large knife. Too large for town, but I'm home on the mountain. The deer and fox don't care. ;) The one I have is S90V, but Farid says he would like us to use CPM-10V in production. It's still a long way off as we're just beginning initial planning. sal Is this a hint that a 10v...
