I don't know a lot about this style but I always thought I should try my hand at one. The forge was hot and I was making a few with different butt loops and thought why not... (it was that voice in my head again):D

Heat treated and tempered in my Paragon furnace to 58-60 Rockwell with three normalizing and two tempering cycles
Slight convex grind with a Scotch Bright finish and textured flats
Dyed and stabilized maple burl handle
Overall length:+/- 8 inches (hard to measure that curve)
Blade: approx 3 1/2 inches
Leather scabbard with a dangling belt loop that can be worn left or right

The handle profile is a little different but comfortable is the hand.

Well I love that thing,shouldn't the finger go through the hole in the reverse grip?
 
Thats the coolest kerambit i have ever seen. Never cared much for kerambits because i cant figure out what i would ever use one for but man is that thing cool. Excellent work!!

Ice-Pic; I am really not sure how to use a kerambit, I just thought they looked interesting although I doubt that you would want a finger in the loop.

Brian: Here is a photo of a knife that I picked up in a flea market in China. I was told that it was used by farmers to cut cabbage by pulling the knife toward themselves through the base of the plant . Anybody need a cabbage knife?

I'm glad I have a CCW that covers knives. I'd hate to have to explain that was a carpet knife and I was an installer.
 
Thats really interesting. Pretty much how i use my old Case hawkbill. I guess you see that a lot in asia, farm implements that become weaponry. Love that Kerambit though. It is so cool.
