(Spyderco C170GP Karahawk Folding Karambit ) look sooo amazing/awesome too use😊 Because is look easy put it in your pocket easy too open up and very easy too carry and cut through all types of boxing!!😄
Gotta agree. I've owned several K-bits over the years, both folding and fixed. Including Emerson's venerable Combat Karambit. Though, in my experience, nothing even comes close to Fox's 599... Well, the 479 is close. And the Fox 599TiC? Forget about it, that lil beauty is without peer. Truly fine.
Adam Nitro I wouldn't recommend it. Schrade didn't do the original design concept justice. They have a tendency to want to do collaboration designs their way, but more often than not their way sucks.
@Adam Nitro i own two of them . thought they would be awesome....na they make GREAT trainers tho...even my 3 yr old likes to plays with them(TRAINERS ONLY not a live blade )

WE has two karambit models now that I’m considering. Can find reviews & info on the 708 series but very little on the newer 816 Think you should send me one of each so I can compare them! Like your presentation videos. This was blessedly quick paced & gets to the point(s) so to speak. Much better than listening to so many ‘reviewer’ prattling on about a whole lot of nothing and seldom doing more than “ohhhing & ahhhing!” over most anything on their tables. They’re not all like that of course but you sure do have to wade through a sea of silly to get a bit of info. Thanks, folks! A loyal (& waaaay too frequent) customer.
The video is great but I'm surprised you guys didn't have the cold steel steel tiger Karambit which I think hands down is one of the best Karambit you can possibly get
I don't have many Karambit knives. 3 to be exact. But I carry the We Knife Co. 708E and I love it. This is a cool list, though & I'm definitely gonna check out 1 or 2 of these!
why isnt masalong on here.they have SEVERAL differnt types including folders. they DESERVE a spot ....they are the best , made of D2 steel and comes with real kydex. price is budget friendly compared to other D2 products ive seen
You guys forgot the Karambit line by Doug Micarta the Fox Karambits? What happened? The Fox Karambits are not American made and I am an American Patriot but the Fox Karambits although made in Italy they receive great reviews and also have the Emerson deployment. Besides I own two of them.
Masalong snake shadow. It has a sharper curve more akin to the traditional design, razor sharp and is pretty cost effective. The regular ones are 24 dollars and change up to around 25 and the damascus version is a little over 40 bucks I think on Amazon. It's my personal favorite for a low key, compact, fixed blade karambit. I'm seriously considering the top-tac karambit on this video as my second favorite just for its shear size but I'll save my thoughts till I can get my hands on one. (I'm not an advertiser or anything I just really like the knife)
I just got a Spyderco Karahwak and a CDHK Karanto. They both have a lock back design, not liner locks. I must say I am not impressed with the Spyderco. It has a faint and shallow sounding "click" when the blade locks open. It only requires a slight press of approx. 1/16 of an inch or less to unlock the blade. And as it wears in it will only be less. The lock spring is not very strong and it is a thin blade. The CDHK Has a strong & thicker blade lock with a louder "click" in the open locked position. Instead of a 1/16 , it requires a 2/16 - 3/16 of an inch press to unlock the blade. And it's not easy to press it to unlock the blade but then again I was never in a super hurry to close the blade. I wouldn't want spring tension to be sacrificed just so I could close the blade fast. And when holding the Spyderco in a traditional manner like you see in this video your thumb rests on the blade itself. Putting pressure on the blade trying to close it. The CDHK has jimping and my thumb rests right on the end of the handle and blade lock spring putting pressure on it. That pressure helps keep the blade lock in the down position to keep the blade closed and locked tight, not adding trying to close the blade on your own fingers! Sure the Spyderco is super fast and it's blade is super thin allowing it to slice with ease. But how do you make a lock back really fast? Give it a soft spring with not much tension, make it thin to reduce drag between blade and lock back, and make it have minimal travel from lock to unlock position. I'm sure it's great for some people. It's fast to deploy and you'll like a true pro when removing it from your pocket really fast when making a video but for me I just don't trust it. It reminds me of a fishing reel with a week bail. You go to cast it and the bail closes. I hate that! Maybe I just worry about it too much, that's why I do not have many knives with liner locks. For some reason I really like my fingers. And I like them uncut. I wish I could check out a Fox 599-XT with the lock back but none are available as of 4-2020.
I don't think I've found my ideal kerambit yet. While I love the design of the huge ass monster kerambits on this video, the whole point of carrying one of this is that they're supposed to be easy to conceal and carry, while still packing quite the punch and enabling you to do certain things that you wouldn't be able to do with a straight edge. I think the next one I'll try is probably gonna be a fox kerambit replica, since they look like the best design for EDC (but there's only one way to he certain). My favorite kerambits so far are the cheap butterfly kerambits (because they're super fun), and the Chinese inexpensive kerambits that are pretty much identical to the first one shown in this video (only problem is that they're too big for a kerambit, and the sheath sucks ass and breaks easily).
The origanal cold steel folding civilian with serrated blade, maybe not your idea of a true karambit, but I carried 1 for 20 years an learned how to use it as a defensive weapon an everyday tool.
I need to ask besides the folding action and quick deployment of the fox 499 or fox whatever number what makes it better than a fixed blade karambit once it is opened? I have the Honshu Karambit at number 10 and its a beautiful blade I personally prefer fixed blades over folding because the locking mechanism is nonexistent and it will never break thank god I have never had to use it to defend myself but I would honestly like to know how your fox karambit is better
James Quinn you just answered your own question.. apart from the quick deployment and the bonus of it being less than half the size of a fixed blade and its ease of concealment their are no more benifits over a fixed blade.. also if you live in a country like a do the U.K. You have no chance of carrying a fixed blade in public so that is also a bonus of the folding fox
James Quinn James Quinn if you meant down to build quality and style I would say fox is hands down better than say emerson. In my opinion fox use a better super steel for their blade and fox has a better variety of handle materials and styles
For most of the video, the guy holding the 'bits were holding them in a forward grip, instead of the reverse p'kal grip they were designed for. It's annoying.
A trained fighter could fight just as well with the forward grip as they would with the reverse grip. Heck, I find a hawkbill blade to be more comfy in the forward grip than in the reverse grip. And straight blades, yes, I like them in the reverse grip.
As knives go, Karambit design shouldn't be a first choice unless you are well practiced in the technique. Check out a few Doug Marcaida vids, get a dull practice Karambit and a training partner AND sound instruction. Then practice for at least a year. Otherwise, just collect them and don't carry. Same goes for firearms, BTW.
Come on now you bunched together a whole bunch of cheap karambits like that last one with the up sweet but you can't call that a Karambit Spyderco that's a joke overpriced the only one that's worth buying is the cold steel and that's because it's rated , I prefer and I own a fox knife made in Italy FX 590 at least that's made of good Steel , checked out every knife that they advertised and what kind of Steel it's made out of like tops that's probably made out of cheap 1095 Steel nice design but I wouldn't buy it , come on Emerson yeah they make nice knives that been out for years but you know they have to add that to the list even though it shouldn't be on the list Spyderco way over overpriced for what you're getting I bought my fox FX 590 for $130

The 599 is a no-brainer for any karambit list, if you want a folder.
I have the 479
I'm partial to fixed blades and here are my three: Böker Magnum Spike Karambit, Masalong Tiger Claw, and Masalong Moltres Outdoor Survival Claw.
Emersons fixed blade Karambit is one you missed. Excellent size and retention and best of all, it never fails to deploy!

Why does the karambit makes me want to swing it around?
Why would it not🤣🤣
FetchPlays_YT • you could, just remember it's still dangerous for the user if miss handling it by cutting yourself doing tricks with it.

Fox 599 and the Dart karambit
On the tac tops review on a website someone said it wasn't sharp

I respect your calices they to me always mean an active and working person
Can we order from knives center but the question is can u ship it to india
Krambits and Kukris, those are my favs
Fox 599 , Fox 479 and DMAX are missing in your list.
im really shocked you didnt add in masalong they have AMAZING D2 karambit and are extremely affordable
China stuff ?
Amazing/Awesome Karambit Video #KnifeCenter !!!👍😊👍
The Fox 599 emerson karambit is my favorite.
Can a guard cofiscate a karambit in a mall or do you still need license to get that
The Böker Wildcat is an awesome folding karambit!
Mines homemade . linolium knife modified. But i like most all you presented , i used to make steel for ontario and kabars in nys.
