I used a karambit i bought off the tool truck yesterday to make a large box fit in the bin at work. Thing went through that box like nobody’s business.
It is not sharp at all. The paper test showed that. After such sharpening the knife will never be sharp because you did not get rid of the wire from the blade with the leather. Other, round stones and leather strips are used to sharpen such knives.
@akilla4reala669to be fair the knife in the video is a $4 Chinesium special, i use the same knife as a practice karambit with the sheath taped on, it might as well be aluminum
I cut thru a piece of chinese supposedly "nylon" cable with mine yesterday only to realize that it didn't go thru all the way because for some reason the nylon had a really solid wire core. It did cut thru but the inner core really dulled the middle of it.
If you are impatient, it starts at 4:07

Well we have the exact same karambit so thats convenient
I have a couple of karambits and the very tip tends to get bent slightly, would the tip sharpening correct this or is there another way to fix this?
aha ok cool. Use the edge of a wetstone. Good to know.
How dare you sum up this man's 8 minute video in 5 seconds. 😤

Wrap some sandpaper around a dowel and it’s the best recurve sharpener ever.
sounds like a good idea.. what’s a dowel tho
How in god’s name did you dull a karambit in the first place?
I didnt. Im just a sucker for sharpening stones
@@ericcantocorner4517 i got a hand me down karambit and its very dull and i can't really ask how he dulled it cuz he's dead.
