Folding Karambit

[Jersey]

I am looking for one of these, the smaller the better .. My state doesn't allow fix blades so it must be a folder! :thumbdn:

Anyway, I dont want a spyderco and I dont have the cash for a emerson ... anything else out on the market thats half decent?

Which is the best for the money?

thankS!

I can't think of any decent brands that put out folding karambits.

What do you want a karambit for anyways?


Edit: Here's a emerson clone I found on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/Folding-Kerambi...ewItem?hash=item130208360754#ebayphotohosting

Remember though, when it comes to knives, you get what you pay for.

why not go for an actual Emerson?

How about Mantis?

 

[Metis]

i didn't think much of Mantis until i handled some.

the Mantis kerambit is a good deal for the money, lockup was great. only drawback is that it's heavier than your other choices.

Those 5.11 Tactical ones are supposed be ok from what I have read. I like the brand too.

How about one of these puppies?

hmm a few of them look nice. Does anyone know how much the Fox one runs or how hard they truely are to find?

Also which is the smallest folder kbit?

Last question, I like the wave feature on the emerson ... Do any other of the folding kbits come wtih a shealth that when it's pulled it automatically opens?

I had the fox

A good karambit.

Three way to open it:

with the "wave" sistem
classic one hand opening with the hole
pushing the guard that protrudes from the handle with a wrist movement.

Easy to find here, at the price of € 78 ( about 117 $ )
