Tiger Attack Karambit WIP

[Rick Haney Design]

The Tiger Attack Karambit got a slight redesign since playing around with CAD the last 4 months.This design was to use the tiger element,Stripes.
The original design I textured the scales,This is the new scales.Liking this version mo better.Also this design I wanted to incorporate intergral backspacer & finger ring.I made this one with black G-10,Since I didn't have any thick stuff to use. This was designed more SD,It has ambidextrious clip locations.This happened to get reverse grip carry.
2.25" carved CPM S-30V blade
Ti liners
Ranger green G-10 scales
Carved Ti clip
G-10 Backspacer & finger ring (1")
6.25" OAL
5.0" closed

Again,sorry about the S*$#! pics.
Hope you like it

You should see all my scrap in the shop!10 lbs of F^$#@ up liners.Folder building keeps you on your toes.It's fun & frustrating at times.

John,Thanks.I'm a big fan of the karambit & the whole Indonesian blade culture,Amazed at the variety of blade shapes & uses.When I think of karambit,I think of a Tiger.This blade is a wicked slasher.

Just finished the Tiger Attack Karambit for the Blade Show.

This is a design that has evolved more since learning some AutoCad software in my spare time.

Plan to show it around @ Blade.
