Show off your custom karambits!

Here are two really crappy shots of some really cool kerambits:

1 - Rob Newton (Laci Szabo design) Filipino Box Cutter: Superb. My only complaint is that the handle should be a 1/2 inch or so longer, because, held in reverse grip the blade rests against my pinky.

2 - Emerson Combat Kerambit: Not a custom, but the handle's ergonomics are stellar, and the blade length is money. It's not so long that if you spin it badly you risk stabbing your self. Also, they made the finger hole part of each handle slab, so when you spin the knife it is very stable. As far as folding kerambits go, I'd stick to something with a wave, like the Emerson or a Fox. If you want a true custom, there are some by Reese Weiland at bladegathering.com that are really cool looking (but no wave).

3 - Strider HS Tarani: I like this knife, but it's my least favorite of these. The handle is thin and the ergos aren't great. Also, I have to be more careful spinning it (to include wearing a leather cuff) to avoid stabbing my arm, becasue of blade length and ergos.

4 - Kiku Matsuda Desperade Cerambit: Perfect.

That desperado Karambit is a beast. Where'd you get it from?
 
I believe I bought it from japaneseknifedirect.com They are currently sold out, but have a bunch of other models in stock. He did a collab karambit with another maker whose name escapes me, but it looks cool too. There are a few other sites that I've seen his stuff on, but you'd have to do a search to see if one has one in stock.


I have four of his knives, and they are some of the coolest I've seen in terms of style, execution, fit and finish. His grinds are as good as or better than everything else I've seen.

First time for me,I forged Karambit from hicarbon steel.
I call it "Tarantula" the tip look like spider's teeth and the harden line look like spider's leg.

I just finished tis group of kerambits up over the weekend. They were a fun group to grind. All of them were made from D2 with a cerakote black coating and have G-10 hnadle scales.

These were based on my concealment line of kerambits, this line took shape when I was a kid and picked up a little kerambit at a gunshow. It was a tiny blade that just stuck out from the bottom of the fist. It was nice when you wanted something in your hand but didn't want to broadcast it to everyone.
