Well their are so many knives for sale available and yo can choose anyone depending for which type of work you want to use it. I will personally go for cold steel karambit because they are so much expensive and cold steel are known for making quality products hence your money will not get wasted if you want to choose for lon
OP asked for a folding karambit, Cold Steel doesn't make a folding karambit.

+1 On the Derespina/Fox Collaboration.
I have owned all renditions of the Emerson and Fox Karambit knives. When it comes to ergonomics, it cannot be beaten. It is also four way pocket clip adjustable. I tip down carry mine and the blade is created with a giant serration in the middle, a good thing for a larger gash on a target. Also, this karambit is more ergonomically sound than the others, with the blade resting closer to the hand, true to the most useful Indonesian design. Rich Derespina is also a martial artist and practices FMA, as well as designs custom karambits. The wave deployment is nice, but seriously, if you cannot make the time to develop the muscle memory [before you need it] in both thumbs to deploy a knife, what will you do when/if the wave deployment does not come off as fast as you need or get snagged on a pocket in a scramble? Dude, go with a martial arts design with this kind of knife, not a military one.
