    I have an aluminum cast karambit for training purposes and it's by far my favorite one, really light, comfortable, awesome. I'd love to have some full tang ones, but the folders can usually be better concealed. As for folders, I mostly like fox karambits as they come with the clip in the right direction, screwed from the ring side towards the blade. Most brands get that wrong and put it in the opposite way, removing the possibility of quick deploy. Also way too many brands get the grip on the opossite side (like tac force, cold steel, etc) and you end up having to hold the knife upwards so it doesn't hurt your hand.

I am 64 turning 65 in January and I have studied Shotokan from a young age under some of the notable instructors. I have not been training for a few years due to opening a business but will be back in the dojo around Febuary. My daughter got me a Smith & Wesson Karambit a long with a practice blade. I will checkout your training and get myself up to speed on it. I the video I watched of yours and I have seen a lot of Martial Arts videos. Thanks! Terry

    Another Karambit video after a while. Loving it! I actually renamed my YT because of this beautiful but yet so dangerous weapon. You forgot to mention footwork, but that should be obvious for all who watch the video/your channel. I'd like to have the Fox 599/XT but that knife is a little bit expensive for me. I still do have my Mtech665, decent blade for begginers. I remember how I had little injuries on my hand with my trainer blade, was plastic but still had a tip. Much love! Like your work.

    When you're beginning practicing with any knife, not just a karambit, I highly suggest wrapping some paper towels over the blade and duct taping it so it won't cut you, then once you're confident in your abilities remove it and practice with the slight weight difference :)

    CRKT Provoke. I carry a knife on most occasions as a last measure for defense. But I always thought it would be a high risk to deploy it and then switch to reverse grip for effective combat. At that level of adrenaline, it would be very likely to fail. Fumble, or maybe cutting my own hand. The provoke is already connected to my hand/finger when pulled, it can be used as a non lethal brass knuckle, and the deployment of the blade is just a flip of the thumb without loosening the grip too much. It operates so naturally, that it is perfectly safe. Also compact and easy to carry. It doesn’t even look like a knife in closed condition.That thing is an excellent piece of kit.

    I subscribed to the channel a couple years ago because the karambit content hooked me in, I bought a cheap trainer back then and over the years I’ve upgraded to a basic karambit, now I carry the bulkier and heavier D2 dragon karambit distributed by Masalong, its very heavy and a lot scarier than any karambit I’ve owned.
    I’ve noticed though all the karambit videos you upload are beginner techniques, any more advanced stuff in the future for the channel?

    Both are made from N690co Bohler steel. Awesome tools.

    06:47 I have four different hawkbill-style knives for similar use, a small fixed CRKT Keramin, a medium sized Fox folding kerambit and a larger Cold Steel Talon 2. Depending on the training scenario, I'll practice with either one on my weak hand side. The fourth one is a Spyderco Tasman Salt for swimming in open water, in case I get entangled in plants or smth (one of the main risks for drowning in Dutch inland water).

    • @keithbeckett1349
      @keithbeckett1349 Год назад

      So you are practicing with the karambit in your weak hand? Howcome? I also had a similar thought as it essentially adds some worth and defence to your weak hand which otherwise wouldn't be as effective (as it doesn't exactly take much so swipe with a blade and do damage) whereas throwing a punch with a weak side vs your strong is a big difference

    I just bought my first karambit, and it’s a spring assisted folder.

    I got the Honshu karambit from united cutlery. It comes with a shoulder strap that’s not fantastic or anything in terms of quality, but good for what it is. The blade seems good, came very sharp. It has a sharp nub on the ring that gets in the way of flipping, but you can work around it

    Had no experience with the karambit, so I did not want to spend too much. I bought a Cold Steel "Double Agent", which despite the name is single-edged. Quality seems very good for the price. I also bought a $10 hard rubber karambit trainer but wish I hadn't, because it feels way too light and I haven't ended up using it much.
