Karambit Fixed Blade or Folder

[Crashnburk]

I am looking at getting a Karambit. What is everyones thoughts on the Emerson Folders? Right now I am leaning toward a fixed blade Karambit.

ahh how much are you willing to spend? You could try and find the busse war boar.

I've only handled the Emerson folding karambit in the store. It seemed pretty solid. It seemed a bit odd, IMO, that the ring is split instead of solid.

For the kind of "work" that a karambit is designed for, I'd lean towards a fixed blade vs. folder. I also prefer a solid ring for the index finger.

I would like to stay under $200.00 but I could see myself dropping $250

I like the Deraspinas but they seem to be hard to find.
The Busse looks like it has a bigger bend in its shape compared to the Deraspinas and Emersons.

i have the emerson folder karambit. they have three models. the regular folder and a larger version of that. then they make a fixed blade version. i love mind its very comfortable to weild and the wave feature essentially makes it a fixed blade that fits in your pocket. it can be mounted almost anywhere allowing for the wave draw to function
