"The karambit works just as advertised. It is Sharp and versatile. I love the dual blade design to hack/slash. Downside: the handle is a bit large and the naked handle make it bit of a challenge to manipulate with confidence. If the blade can be designed to fit Sm/Med Hand grips and a cord wrapped handle, the blade could be more beneficial. Overall; great blade and at a great price! Thanks BUDK!"
"I would add 2 stars if the finger holes were man size. This will get the job done. Not a terrible edge out of the box either."
"Love it but a bit small"
"I had bought the 13 inch stilleto knives from ebay but two of the three had issues with the blade and handle so I needed a knife that doubles for utility and defense for off hand combat. This fits the bill! The knife is sharp right from the box and double edged! I had requested the engraving to be done and I love it! I do want to point out that I still sharpen my knives a bit more precise by preference once they come in since it can never be too sharp! ;) Lastly, it is better to loop the belt through the holster instead of sliding it on but like someone said, you can reinforce it with paracord to avoid it coming off. Awesome job Budk!"
"This is my new GO TO blade. *****FIVE STARS***** Only 2 things I want to mention. The belt 'clip' for the sheath should have a different design so that you don't have to unfasten your belt to secure it but also to keep it attached when deploying the knife. The sheath itself though has excellent retention to keep the knife secure if wearing it as a neck knife. Second, I plan on wrapping paracord around the handle for a little bit more 'comfort'. All in all, I am super happy with this purchase. THANK YOU BUDK and United Cutlery. I look forward to many other purchases!!!"
"Got in today after reading the reviews I was a bit taken aback about the dullness and lack of an edge on the outer edge. Well I was prepared to put it to the belt grinder and through the whole gambit of sharping and re-profiling, cause what good is a single edge Karambit in CQC. When I opened the box I was over joyed to see and feel the double edges and I mean RAZOR SHARP edges both sides shaved my arms bald. The handle is a bit uncomfortable but I did the same as I did with my U.C. magnum push dagger I took a lil black stick to self gauze and comfy'ed it up a lil, and it is one BADASS weapon!!! P.S. Im lovin it and BUDK!!! `"
"I don't know what the scam is, but these knifes are neither sharp nor hardly have an edge, and they are definitely not double sided. Do some re search before waiting your money."
"I LOVE this knife. The sheath is well-made (surprisingly). The point of the knife is brutally sharp, and, unlike many reviews, my blade came very sharp. The back edge wasn't sharp, but a dremel fixed that problem. Now, it's my constant companion. I can't say enough good about this knife AND BudK."
"The knife feels and fits good in my hand. I have had problems with trench style knife handles not fitting my large hands/finger, but this one fits great. The blade on the underside was sharp, but the upper blade was really dull and took forever to get a sharp edge using a diamond/carbide, handheld sharpener. After pulling the blade from the sheath, it is necessary to change grips. I mean, the finger hole closest to the blade is covered by the sheath, so you have to take an extra step just to hold the blade properly after removing it from the sheath. However, the sheath is good quality and fits the blade well enough that it would practically never fall out of the sheath by accident. The sheath is a little larger than I had hoped, but the belt loop/clip attachment can be removed easily by unscrewing to screws on the back of the sheath making it less bulky. I believe the sheath needs to be redesigned to make this a practical self defense weapon just because of the critical time consuming extra step it takes to re-grip the handle after removing the blade from the sheath. It requires two hands to pull the blade from the sheath and re-grip the blade by inserting to fingers into the respective holes. It would be an amazing challenge to pull this knife with one hand. For the price, I would make this purchase again. No buyers remorse here."
"Duh it's a small knife, did these people not know this before purchasing? This knife was way better than expected when it came in the mail, considering the price. I was actually hoping it to be a bit smaller than it turned out to bit, however, great size. The only thing is the blade is very dull, definitely needs a good sharpening, but great value!"
