>>947600>No, except being used differently to fight, and being very certainly inferior to regular knives for that matter, it can't do anything.>Good luck field dressing an animal or preparing a meal with that.Actually it is more an agricultural tool for cutting plant roots in water and rout environments and made to be hard to drop. Useful maybe also in the garden but no as much as secateurs!
Not really an out knife and a meme as a fighting knife as it lacks the length to reach vital organs like fighting knives designed specifically for killing humans. Throughout the ages the best tool for this has been a long thin and rigid thrusting knife as is perhaps well illustrated by the use of simple spikes by preference by french troops in ww1 made from supports for barbed wire entanglements. .Equally the Sykes-Fairbain, te poniard, the main gauche etc etc. The coup de gras has always been best delivered by a spike like implement.
Fighting knives are not good out knives...it is not what they are intended for. I could write a book on the topic as I have been a collector and student of antique and modern bladed weapons for 25 years.
A good out knife should be above all solid as an example I would suggest looking at the British ministry of defense survival knife...solid and maybe a small knife with a blade appropriate for skinning.
A karambit dispute its novelty and aesthetics which may appeal to some is an inappropriate choice, as indeed are most folders, very small knives or thin bladed or double edged knives, knives without a full tang that may not be easily sharpened.
I now prepare myself to be given out to.
