Here is the first of a few utility karambits that I made with a tapered tang, because I had never seen one before. ground from CPM S90V with a 3 inch blade hollow ground on a 24 inch diameter radius platen. The handle is sculpted bone linen micarta secured with stainless corby bolts and three bronze pins. I had a USMC friend and silat practitioner give this one a whorl and he said it handled well. The hole is just under 1 inch in diameter. this was designed to be used as an effective utility knife vice a dedicated martial arts weapon.
The sheath is leather set up for cross body, draw putting the blade in a forward grip for, again, utility purposes (cutting rope, boxes, wood...etc). It is hand stitched and features pebble stamping around the edge.
Price is $290 shipped CONUS.
