new favorite karambit!

I like this a lot better than the Fox 599. If you're comparison shopping and can't decide which to get, I highly recommend this one. If you already have a Fox 599, this is a very similar knife but slightly better in several meaningful ways. It opens equally well after a bit of practice, and the ramp doesn't destroy pants as badly as the Emerson wave (although I think it requires very slightly more practice). The handle is more comfortable, has some rounding, and doesn't determine where you should put your fingers. The actual grind of the blade is much flatter and there is much less material behind the edge, so it cuts better. The grind is probably the biggest advantage of this knife. If you use it for edc tasks, it just cuts better than the 599. The only thing I didn't like about it was the wire clip, but I discovered that the Spyderco wire clip replacement from Ripp's Garage Tech will work. With that installed this is dangerously close to a perfect knife.

Best folding Karambit I have owned

It has been a while and taken more than a few dollars for me to find the perfect folding karambit. This handles extremely well and deploys in a swift easy motion. The ring is larger and comfortable due to the edges being rounded, often times the ring is either too small or the edges are too sharp. Speaking of being sharp, this ting is as sharp as the devils tail. No Cons, this is worth the money.

Pros: Weight, Blade Sharpness
Cons: Handle Material, Pocket Clip

Good Blade but bad screws

The blade is extremely sharp and well made but the moment of switching the pocket clip to the other side for right pocket carry, the screw for the retaining part immediately stripped when trying to remove it. I had to completely take the one side apart and use extreme pressure and rotation to get it out, only to have another screw snap in half when putting it back together. It still functions but i am weary of the further issues regarding the screws.
