I ran across some K6 Karda 3V knives on knivesshipfree.com but I haven't been able to discover very much about them other than their dimensions.
They appear to be flat ground tanto blades with a highly contoured handle.
Does anybody know their intended use?
 
I first got into knives by collecting (and sharpening) kukris. I loved the little knife that came with most of them - a Karda. However, they are practically useless. So I started making replacement Kardas. I went through several versions - the K6 is simply version #6. As with most designs, they arise out of customer request/demand.

It is intended to be a utility knife, meant for everything - opening letters, kitchen/table use, self defense and general cutting. They're not a tanto, more of a wharncliffe profile - flat ground on both sides.

Hope you get a chance to play with one - lots of uses for them. Thanks for visiting my forum!

Do a search on "karda" on my forum and you'll see more threads and pics.
