I have a smith and wesson hawkbill style folder and I absolutely love the design. The blade itself is flimsy to the handle and I prefere sheathed knives which makes it so I am looking into getting one. I want to find something of quality that would work with slightly smaller hands
Edit: sheathed - fixed blade

Spyderco has a couple hawk bill knives such as the Tasman, harpy, Karahawk, and ladybug hawkbill.
 
Here is a video if a hawkbill I just recorded...

Ontario Ranger Karambit, Fox Knives makes a couple fixed karambits and I believe Emerson makes one as well. 5.11 used to make a Tarani designed fixed karambit, but I believe it's been discontinued for some time. Haven't handled any of them, so I can't really speak to quality.
 
Nice review smokinape and id use that to replace my folder when it breaks but until then im looking for fixed blade
 
Almost forgot, Traditional Filipino Weapons sells a couple more, well, traditional models as well. Those I have handled and are they are nicely made, but if you're looking for something on the 'tactical' side the wooden scales and sheath might not be for you.
 
Cook has a very nice double edge...my EDC for karambit's is a 5.11 folder I modded to wave, although I'm trying to find another to mod further.

How are the cold steel double agent and steel tiger knives
Click to expand...

Double Agent is rather uncomfortable in hand because of the double ring. Steel Tiger is very nice, but it's pretty big, so be mindful of any local limits on blade length.
 
Ya they are alittle out of my range lol
Its looking like ill have to replace it with a folding one, so when it breaks lol
I have a few fixed blade knives by spartan blades in mind before i buy another folder
