I've been using my kerambit for a few weeks now, and I must say, it's quickly becoming one of my favorite utility blades.
I sharpened it up a bit. Now, it's not sharp enough to shave with, or push cut paper, but it flies through meat and vegetables like they aren't there. For some reason, the kukri-like shape of it works very well with my hands in the kitchen, and I find it more comfortable than a straight knife to use for long periods. Used it tonight to slice up some meat and veggies for a stir-fry and there was no fatigue.
Outside, it makes a great garden tool for cutting out weeds, trimming plants, etc. Cuts very well. Somethings, like bushcrafty things like making notches and trap/snare triggers and whatnot, the R-10 is still superior.
But overall, I find the kerambit riding my belt these days more often than any other knife.
