Awesome top shelf Karambit!

I also have the Fox 599 G10 model. This knife is absolutely gorgeous and very functional. It's extremely well made and to me is worth the steep price. I got mine from KC before the price increase. It's very thin and extremely lightweight at around 2.9 ounces. It has a thinner more comfortable profile than the G10 version and a much smoother action. The Elmax steel is as fine as it gets! If you want the finest production Karambit out there this is it in my opinion. It's the Ferrari of Karambits!

excellent quality

This thing is amazing, super light and very sharp.... The only negative is the liner lock is not easy to operate with one hand, not enough of a negative honestly not to buy it.. Great quality coming out of Italy and awesome service from Knife center...

What A Killer Blade!

I will admit, I've never really been a big fan of karambits. But this one just spoke to me. The first thing I noticed is just how light this thing is! Like a feather! The next thing I noticed was the fit and finish and the quality of the materials. This thing turns heads for sure! I also want to mention that whoever they got sharpening these knives before they leave the factory sure knows what he's doing! The only knife I've ever gotten that was sharper than this from the factory is my Buck 110 Auto Elite. Anyone who owns a Buck 110 knows just how sharp those things come. This karambit is right up there with that. So yeah, holding this thing in my hand, I gotta say I'm highly impressed. It was totally worth the wait. You can't go wrong with this one.

Gentlemen’s Karambit

I like this karambit and I carry it daily. I give it 3 stars, and have the following comments. This is a beautiful built knife constructed of premium materials - and expensive. There is a little play in the blade when it’s open and locked. For so expensive a knife, I expect a very solid lock. This doesn’t have one. What is the hole in blade for? It inspires a lack of confidence for me that this blade will break in combat. That why I gave it 3 stars - it’s expensive, has a little play in the blade, and seemingly fragile. I have a karambit made by a competitor also made of premium materials. This is made in China, and has better fit and finish.
