I've been scouring the internet for news on it but there doesn't seem to be any new information. Anyone have a clue if there are more specs, videos, or release date information? I saw one of the retailers post a preorder but I can't find anything else on it!

I want one!
Sal if you're reading this feel free to send me a prototype or production model for review :)
 
This is how I know this thing is going to sell like hotcakes.

I'm not even that big on karambits and even I'm probably going to get one.:D

I have never bought a Karambit or a Hawkbill, but I got some Karahawk money burnin' a hole in my pocket!
 
Production prototype.

Nice, actually like the look of the wave on this one. I'm curious to see how this one feels in the hand...
 
Hi wqorship,

Thanx for the interest. We just received a message that the production was pushed back a month. I'm guessing in the next 60 days barring any other unforseen problems.

The prototype that I have is still being used by me, so I'm sorry, I can't send it to you .:o

I have to say it's nice when the owner of a company makes himself available to his customers. Other companies should follow your lead.
 
My pre-order is in. I'm ready! But my Emerson doesn't like this at all. I think I have enough love for both.
 
This is definitely one on my "gotta have" list. I just hope that they offer it in Spyderedge as well as plain edge. To me a Hawkbill of any type is so superior with a Spyderedge. Now don't get me wrong because Hawkbills with plain edges do have their place and I own a few of them already.
But I do most of my pull cutting jobs with a serrated Spyderco Hawkbill whether it be the Harpy or the Spyderhawk for big jobs. The Spyderedged versions can just rip through about anything that you can cut or sever with a knife.

I'm not really big on the Karambit type knives overall but I see this one in a different light all together. This one really looks like a martial arts version of Harpy more or less. I'm in but I sure want one in Spyderdge.
 
Hi JD,

Current plan is plain edge only. We'll hide'n'watch reception and determine future runs from demand.

Preordered mine a week ago. It will be my first karambit and I can barely wait. Its the first folding karambit that I actually like the design of. The fox and emerson karambits just doesnt look as appealing.
 
I've carried an Emerson Super Karambit for years now and I really want it to have some EDC competition. Really looking forward to this. :)

Thanks for the update Sal!
 
Definitely looking forward to this knife! I love that the clip can be switched around for left side carry and/or forward draw (my preference for karambits).
