Best cheap karambit?

[SpankinScrubs]

Anyone know a good karambit for around $50? I want one that will hold up and still look good. Also I see alot of training karambits for ridiculous prices online, would also love a recommendation on one of those too!

The best karambits are not cheap, and cheap karambits are not good. Fox might be your best bet if you don't want to buy something more expensive.

Fox is good but a little on the expensive side, blade tech makes the riptide that you can find for around 75 bucks and it's quality is spot on.

If you're starting out there's the Boker version for $34. You'll have to Dremel or grind in a wave opener and you'll probably want the blade profile altered, though. Charlie Mike can do the latter but not the former.

Go with the 5.11 C.U.B Master karambit. I got it on sale for $50, it's normally $100, and even at $100 it's the cheapest quality karambit out there. Anything less I've found isn't worth the money.

Maybe off-topic but I use my $14 karambit as a box and package opener...it excels.

After breaking that POS I tried other Karambits, and would recommend the FOX karambit on the cheaper side, the Emerson on the expensive, and the Cold Steel Tiger as a fixed option. But for less than $100 is hard to get a quality one, IMO.

And, the ringless Karambit of choice for me would be a ZipTie waved Spyderhawk. I love this thing!

Just my two cents.
