I'm looking to buy a karambit knife, and don't know what brand or it it should be folding or fixed.
It would be mainly for EDC.

I've never carried a hawkbill but know that you brought it up it may try it.Why not get a hawkbill folder instead if it's just for EDC?
Karambits lean more towards self defense, they can be useful for EDC but depending where you live they can also get you in trouble. A hawkbill folder serves the same purpose without the self defense connotations. The grip is also more comfortable for work tasks.I've never carried a hawkbill but know that you brought it up it may try it.
Been cutting meat professionally over 30 years..own the 479 karambit..love it...solid construction..very sharp out of box..will stand toe to toe with knives twice the price..looked on ebay and scored one for 99.00 new in box. Never regretted it.If you can get over the hideous KARAMBIT!!! writing on the blade, check out the Fox Knives Karambits (FX-479 Pictured, the 599 is a tad smaller and had so so fit and finish from what I read).
