There is no better design for a folding Karambit, nor will there ever be. It's the apex design. Hence the Chinese copies. This knife isn't a gimmick, it's a genius solution to a difficult problem. Best folding Karambit on the market. Murica
I took the plunge and bought one. I love the fit and finish as well as the mechanics of the knife. I am going to try and make a Kydex sheath for belt carry or pack carry. The issue you described about it opening when removed from the pocket is a real concern. I’ve had that happen to me as well. Great review. Thank you!
It is a karambit style folding knife. It is meant to be used in a downward, blade out grip as a slashing/stabbing weapon and has little to no utility. That ring is meant to be for your index finger when the knife is held like I described above.
Set up is nice. It has just enough curve and thickness of the blade to do good damage in a defensive situation.. It doesnt come very sharp from the factory but that can be changed.
I found these at Smokey mountain knife works for 200.00,I love the weight of it sn how it feels in the hands before purchasing it,awesome blade,so now I have to get one or two.
I love mine and carry it every day in my right rear pocket next to my wallet. I just bought the new Imperial White version that came out for sale today from CRKT. It will be my Star Wars knife!
Snipee I haven’t had a problem with the thickness but I don’t wear tight jeans or shorts. As long as it stays snug to the right side of the rear pocket I forget it’s there.
@@keyworksales6241 Yeah I seen the first responder version. The window breaker is nice. I don't care too much about the sheathe because I don't like necklace sheathes (if I'm correct).
I take the thumb studs off because they accidently wave and they get in the way of the cut ! ! And I don't usually use them I just shake the blades out ! Or the (G) lock I just pull the lock bar !
Incredible video from the best channel on the platform. I love the camera angles and cinematography. Looking forward to you getting a drone for these tabletop reviews for even more incredible footage.
@@izzywashere1383 can you drive your car through or do you just load it onto a train? I was thinking about driving to london but I don't know how it works
hey Jeff do you have any plans to get a spyderco smock I really want one but they are always out of stock would be interested to hear your thoughts on the knife
I hate that I really want one. The ability to have an impact tool to use as a kubotan if needed, a one knuckle brass knuckles if you will, with the escalation potential of deadly force makes this a potent contender in fighting knives for EDC.
I heald one finally last weekend, I really dislike the coating on them because it looks cheap for the price and being left handed this knife just doesn't function the way I need.
@@NR-cr762 Most of the world is right handed so we have to deal with the majority of guns, scissors, lawn equipment, door knobs, drill press, and many countless things being "right handed" . I've been hurt because I've had to use right handed tools and sometimes I wonder the statistics of left handed to right handed people being hurt using the same tool. I'd imagine I'm not the only left handed person who has had issues with some right handed tools.
lol...Do you know a cars material cost is only 57% of its final cost? so that $30,000 car only cost about $17,000 if you make it yourself...and yes making this knife exactly how you see it is as hard for you as putting together your own car :)
they have $20 copies out there if you just want to see how it works just keep in mind the quality will not reflect this one or the original in any way, cheap copies are just that...lol
I got a cheap (fake) one from wish also. It's very poor quality but definitely a cool novelty knife. Would recommend getting the clone before buying the real thing, just to make sure you like the style.
I imagine it would be a decent choice for police and other rescue services to use as its easy to open and small enough to not take up a lot of space. I've always wanted to get my hands on one.
Though indeed it can be used as a boxcutter, it's modeled after the traditional karambit, which is a weapon used in Indonesian and Fillipino martial arts. Check out Doug Marcaida for more.
@cutlerylover.... Jeff how do I get your email or contact you I have a rare case knife I want to trade you plus more, long time fan first time caller lol.
Columbia River Knife & Tool (CRKT) if anyone was wondering or didn't know what the abbreviation stands for. I've had a CRKT Rollock for years that my father gave me for my 16th birthday. It's a pretty slick little knife and fun to watch the person you hand it to who ask for a knife trying to figure out how to open it. Has made for hours of good entertainment over the years. ua-cam.com/video/GnpQMtMtwww/v-deo.html Edited to add the link to your video review of the knife.
Geometric nooooo...it needs an Emerson clip. So you could hook your finger through the loop and as you pulled it from your pocket it would open. Not sure exactly how you would do it but it could definitely use that feature.
Shit... Knives are turning into mountain bikes... needlessly complex and expensive. I do appreciate the innovation. I just don't have the funds and I'm not sure I'd bite at this if I did. Very interesting and thank you for showing!!!!
@Enlightened & preparing I got a folding knife from amazing, little folding karambit, 10 bucks. I got one for christmas from gerber, 45 bucks the exact same quality.
@Enlightened & preparing I agree, however there are high quality knives even for cheap prices, I have a high quality folding knife I got for 30$, and a pretty good combat fixed blade that i got for 25$, both are good quality and low price
Mine is way stiffer than that. The lock is a bitch. Does not close easily and dont know how to adjust that. Also yes waving it open out of the pocket can put a hole!! Cause I did that to my pants...lol.
They have the new white and black Storm Trooper version that just came out. I considered ordering one but it really isn't anything I would probably ever carry or use and CRKT really doesn't do anything for me. I don't get all the new expensive knives they are offering. I think they are made by Lion Steel for them using XHP, M390 whatever. I know its all premium materials and limited numbers but I can't see ever paying $300 or more for a knife with CRKT on the blade lol. If they wanted to start a more premium line why not have a separate company like KAI has Kershaw for the more budget level stuff and ZT for the higher end production knives. Kershaw has some better US made knives with the Launch and other knives though. To me most CRKT is basically gas station knives lol. I just don't see the people who collect CRKT being willing to pay a few hundred for another CRKT lol.
Talking about novelity knives Medfords are just novelty collector safe queens ! They are cartoon large unusable gimick vovelty ! Very very stupid high priced that's why I got the clone ! For my clones of way stupid priced American co. ! Benchmade usually aren't so high but there price is way over production + % price !

its filmed in Dolby surround not great for headphones but fine for stereo...I sit behind the camera and cant see anything so I go from one side to another talking...
"This is awesome for ripping open boxes. Boxes of what? More knives, of course."

Careful when using the “wave” feature, it can actually cut you because of the way the kinematic action works
