Karambit pairs headed to a new home...


Recommended Posts

  • Authorized Vendor

Well here they are....my versions of a Karambit.

First off is a matched pair or 1/4" thick 1095 carbon steel. The have African Blackwood scales and SS pins. It's about 9 1/4" long with a 4 1/4" blade. It has a pattern etched into the blade but my picture taking apparently sticks cause it's a bit hard to see it. It has thumb and heel jimping and is a stout and dangerous blade. You can see some of the rock pattern ground into the spine as well. They come with black kydex sheaths.

Note....there are some lines on a couple of pictures that are not on the blades.

Next is a lighter pair made from 3/16" thick 1095 carbon steel with a different handle shape and Bubinga scales and mosaic pins. The over all grip is less that the previous set but still very good. It also has a pattern etched into the blade and slightly less rock pattern grinding on the spine. It does have thumb jimping on the spine as well. It is also 9 1/4" long but the blade is a bit longer at 4 3/4". It also comes with black kydex sheaths.

You have no idea. The grip and the feel is unlike anything. I sent him a photo of what I wanted and I bought both sets because I couldn't decide. You guys would be lucky to have a pair, they feel natural in the hand. I don't know which set is my favorite, but they will both be treasured forever. I am beyond in love with both sets!!

I'm not sure how that would work.

I am guessing the poster mean that you would do a straight blade with handle and a ring at the end. Basic idea might be this, just nicer, I would see more of a blade than a spearhead on the end... just a guess though.

I'm sorry, I'm fighting off the flu and my communication skills are a bit lacking right now.

More like this knife, but with a shallow "karambit curve", double edged.

The push daggers like this one are all straight for maximum penetration...or so I'm led to believe.

They are indeed.  But my line of (admittedly flu-riddled) reasoning being a slight curve would add some slashing ability and give up very little penetration.

 

I've taken to carrying a push dagger next to my spare pistol magazine as a pure "defense/weapon retention" tool.  The push knife design allows a longer blade in a carryable package than a traditional fixed blade, and the punch is one of the most basic defensive instincts.  Clamp weapon hand down on the gun, draw knife with support hand and punch.
