Smith & Wesson Extreme Ops Karambit Folding Knife

Picked up one of these 2 years ago. i have punished the HELL out of it on the job sites, and it is still my most dependable every day carry!

First purchase from BUDK and have had it for a couple years and it is still intact. I used it to open boxes at work and cut plastic water bottles for fun. Was sharp when I got it and easy to sharpen with an Accusharp. Friends told me that it looks quite aggressive and perfect for self defense.

Lost my first one, and my brother in law admired my second so ordered him one too! I love the handle. It is long and substantial giving a lot of confidence in use, but not too thick for comfort in my pocket. The thumb stud is positioned right and after a little practice and break in it opens up cleanly and quickly. I do not use the finger ring but feels great in my hand.

This is a thick, sturdy knife. I have had it for over a year and it opens just as smoothly as it did new. The frame lock is thick and the knife feels rigid while open. I originally bought it as a defense carry knife but the blade shape and thickness is just so useful that I use it for everything. I often miss it on days I choose to carry other (more expensive) knives.

Amazing knife, very sturdy lock up and nice blade quality after sharpened. It did come a little dull on the blade closest to the handle. Only problem I have had has been the pocket clip, its a little loose but its an easy fix. Of and it has a very smooth opening.

This knife is my favorite to edc. You definetely get what you pay for here came out of the box pretty sharp great for self defense too!

This knife is competitive with all knives going up to the 50$ price range. It even smokes some 100$ knives. The handle and blade are thick so if you're looking for a thin knife I'd suggest you look away from S&W and more towards some of the thin Ka-bars. But this knife locks well, opens well, cuts well, is impossible to drop, and holds an edge well. It's not very well designed for the standard karambit grip (backhand), but is PERFECTLY designed for the reverse grip.

A good solid and sharp knife. Very smooth action and with the free shipping a great price. You wont go wrong with this one.I have a few Smith & Wesson knives and they are all good.

this knife has the smoothest action out of all my knives. it is AMAZING for the price. if you are contemplating about getting this knife do it get it now before its to late you won't regret it.

I just received this knife in the mail earlier today and I was extremely happy...The knife is much larger than I perceived and sharp right out of the box...That's what to expect from quality manufactures such as Smith & Wesson... Thanks BUDK, and thanks to Heather for preparing my package...

I've had this knife for years, it is very good quality for a fraction of the cost of the brand name karambits. As a Filipino Arts student and instructor, an affordable karambit is a welcome tool!

Had reserves on purchasing a "bit" knife but looking at the price, I gave it a try. WORTH EVERY PENNY! Decent heft. Solid build. Sharp blade. Again, one of those under $25 knife purchases that is well worth it. My only complaint is minor: being a righty, clipped inside my right pant pocket, the stud tends to hook on my pocket lip when extracting with one hand so I tend to use both hands (one to open the pocket, one to remove the knife) to retrieve the knife. Overall, highly recommended!

I love the knife, I've had for a bit over three years. My only concern is that I've had to replace the pivot on it twice (the second pivot broke just today not a week after getting it).
