Pocket Knife for Men - Karambit Folding Knife - 440C Sharp Steel, Tiger Claw Blade - Pocket Knives with Wood Handle - Compact Tool for EDC - Birthday Gift Idea for Dad, Husband, Boyfriend - X-52

Very sharp with a secure lock and sturdy handle

Smaller then a typical karambit, but pretty nice given the affordable price.

The blade itself is really good out of the box, razor sharp and the gut hook/cord cutting notch on the back is a nice addition. I only have 2 issues. 1) The liner lock didn't want to engage with the blade to lock it open out of the box. About 15 minutes of working with a small abrasive file however, where the blade tang meets the liner lock on the blade, and it is engaging properly, and with no play. So that is just a minor fit and finish issue. 2) The finger ring on the handle is way small. As a Kali practitioner, the ring is usually placed on the index finger, which allows the blade to be used inverted, point and edge forward. It barely gets to my second knuckle, when it should be all the way on my finger like a normal ring. If the size of the ring inner diameter were to be increased by about 6mm or 7mm, it would be perfect, and would be very likely to be usable by most people with larger hands like me. The ring is perfect for my pinky, to hold it in a more standard grip for doing utility work, but for defensive use in the reverse grip which is how karambit knives are intended to be used, it's not the size it really needs to be. I still intend to carry this knife daily, but if I can find a better alternative that looks as nice, I will probably switch to it.

Slick looking blade with good sharpness and pocket clip to carry. Opens well and locked well when in the opened position. It's medium weight and Fmfits well in my pockets.

Good for the price

Grandway is one of those brands I’ve come across a lot on Amazon and there seems to be a common theme in the products they produce. They products tend to be of really great design and what I mean by that is: the product is made to look handsome and functional. The knives they produce tend to be well thought out and when you look at it from a far it looks to be a high end knife. But they come at a ridiculously cheap price and the materials used to create this knife shows true to the price. The quality or quality control and materials tend to be Dollar Tree level, which is sad because if the materials or quality were the slightest better this brand would really be amazing. But instead you’re left with a great looking knife with some of the best ergonomics I’ve felt on a Karambit for me reduced to knife with a loose pocket clip, chipped blade, wood, bad frame and offset blade when closed (straight out of the box). The screws and bolts look bad and I’m sure in less than a month of use there will be play in the blade. This is really sad because I am satisfied with the design of this and every knife I bought from Grandway. If only their Quality and Materials were better, I would definitely be okay with paying $20 more for that extra quality.

Gave as a gift. Very nice and quality materials.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Awesome knife beautiful wood handle. Absolutely love it!!!
