I'd be interested in one.

Spyderco has been making several folding kerambits of all sizes for years. They are, the harpy, merlin, cricket, matriarch, civilian, and for a fixed blade, the s.p.o.t.

Just a small quote. What makes the Kerambit unique is not the curved blade, but the ring for the index finger. So Spyderco has NOT yet made one. I heard that Bram Frank's TUSOK is sort of a Kerambit though, but since there are no pics available yet... <img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>
BTW, ATE, check Mike Turber's kerambit at wowinc.com You may like it. Not to mention it's much affordable (OK, the steel sucks, I know, but it's 10 times cheaper than Emerson's).
Now, I heard different oppinions regarding the hole in the handles. Some say that it's a good thing the blade is shorter so it won't go through the hole, but I really don't find the use. I mean, if you keep the knife closed with the index finger through the hole, you can't open it. (Maybe with your ring finger, but that's difficult).

I'll be third in line for a Spydie folding kerambit <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Just another small mention: has anyone seen the Emerson Karambit closed? It's ugly. Spyderco has proven that a knife can and must be beautiful open and closed as well. I'm thinking now at the Calypso, Meerkat, Cricket. It's a level of refinement Emerson (and many other brands) have yet to achieve.
