"I have carried two of these knives for over 12 years. Use them everyday. I issue them to all of my crew members."
"A well made piece of edc. Smith and Wesson did a bang up job crafting this knife. It’s small enough to carry in your pants pocket and once you work the stiffness out, you should be able to get it open in fairly quick order. The blade has a wicked curve on it guaranteed to hook and slice,"
"Well constructed. Nice jnife"
"I was actually surprised how good this knife is. It has great weight to it blade is tight but not stiff S&W did a good job with this one."
"Had one problem - the knife was not sharp when I received it. I worked on it for a little bit with one of my sharpening tools and now it is nice and sharp. I like the camo pattern. The knife is a good value for the price and the quality that you receive."
"I thought Smith & Wesson is a gun company, how did they mess up on a simple framelock knife? There's SOOO much vertical & side-to-side blade play, this karambit is almost impractical! It rattles a lot. The only reason I didn't give it 1 or 2 stars is because the 440C steel is actually really good so I may salvage that to create my own mini kama or scythe or something like that. Maybe I got a lemon? Darn."
"This is an excellent karambit, it is small, easily maneuverable, and fits my hand perfectly. I can not think of a better deal for the money."
"The knife is very easy to open, especially with one hand (use your thumb on the side of it and slide it up). It's not bulky but nor is it small, it is the perfect size for anyone and anything. Great for opening packages (and scaring your siblings). If there was a time that I would have to use it as self defense, I would surely be in good hands. The knife also has a pocket clip, that way it stays safe and secure within your pocket. Highly recommend!"
"The knife is very well made and tight. It has a nice weight to it for the size. That being said the size is very nice. I am a 6'4 245lb man and it fits my hand very well (both forward and inverted grip). I used it at work and it is very useful for cutting pallet wrap/ straps. It also cuts through cardboard like butter. I try to be discreet with it simply because of the inherent menacing look of karambits, even though it has been very useful for very practical purposes. Hopefully I'll never have to find out, but should I need to use it for self defense, it feels as though it would be an excellent tool for the task. The look of it would be daunting for all but the most intrepid attackers. Again, I am a 6' 4" 245lb ex football player/ boxing enthusiast and if a 100lb woman pulled this thing on me I'd run for it. One tip: USE THE POCKET CLIP...it opened in my pocket once but I'm still giving it 5 stars because it was due to me being a reckless idiot. Amazed by the quality of this very affordable knife."
"This knife comes very sharp right out of the box. I was actually able to shave my arm with the knife. Intimidating looking and a well made knife for sure."
