I need advice for a good Karambit

I'd recommend the 5.11 C.U.B. karambit. S30V, mine came very sharp. Overall, it's a good knife, especially for the price.
 
Word of advice: It can be a little stiff to open and can snap shut, so handle it with care and respect.
 
Michaelm: Good advice, Both of those are top of the line production models. The folding models from both companies also have the wave feature. Can't believe I forgot them! :p
 
I wouldn't go with the folding fox karambit. I hear it likes to close on you I.E cut your fingers up. The fixed blade is great though.
 
Ok, I have chosen a Fox G10 but I am non sure what colour.
The one with aluminium grip is fine but it is also good the black one. What is the material f the black grip? I hope it is hard because I don't like soft or rubberized grip
 
I EDC 5.11 folder karambit for many years, I use it for cutting anything from apples to carton boxes and ropes, love it. Now on market for two fixed blade 5.11 KNIFE 51049 karambit, wife dont like folders. You will made no mistake with any of these karambits, very likablbe knives.
 
Don't buy a cheap one. I haven't heard of the brand of the one you mentioned but it looks like a Mantis or may be a Mantis copy. The best folding karambits have been mentioned.......Emerson combat karambit, 5.11 CUB Master 2.0, 5.11 CUB Journeyman and Master, Cutter's Knife & Tool Bengal.

If you are into a modernized look then check out the new Quartermaster folding karambit. It has Mantis design but is much beefier and uses better materials overall. Not bad for the money.
 
I have a Fox Karambit, it's very well made, no problem with the lock. I'd say that it's close to Emerson Karambit .
 
I had an Emerson Super Karambit and it was by far the best I've ever seen. I deeply regret getting rid of it. I could get by with the 511 if I was looking for a less expensive model.
 
I own the 5.11 Master and have had it for several years, great knife. I'm buying an Emerson Karabit and just not sure if to get the black blade or satin.
 
Three words:

Emerson Combat Karambit


I'd look at reviews before moving on to the "super" version.... a lot of people find it "Huge".... buy once/cry once.
