For you Karambit Collectors out there here's a sweet one. A good friend of my went on vacation accross the pond and fond this blade. Knowing i'm into Karambits he brought it back for me. It is a beautiful piece; however, i'm really only into fixed blade Karambits.
The blade is 2 1/2", the handle 5" (including the 1" dia. ring), overall is 7" (yes, it loses 1/2" due to blade curvature)
Heres the good and the bad.
It is a liner lock which locks strongly with no slop.
All the metal is mirror polished stainless, (appears to be 440) it looks like it was belt sharpened after the polish so there are fine wheel marks along the cutting edge. There is some beautiful filework on the spine. The scales are fashioned from Water Buffalo Horn and roughly finger grooved. Along the ring where the horn was shaved the thinnest, there is a hairline crack in the horn, but no loseness can be perceived in the scale. One of the attached photos detail that area.
I would keep it,...but i really want to finance another Maniord Fixed Karambit.
Price Slashed, I'm offering it for $SOLD$.
