Big knife for big hands
I could not be more pleased with this beast, like the bullet dodger says, "The weight is a sign of reliability" definitely made with the larger strong handed individuals in mind, hands down my favorite carry blade. Arrived a week earlier than estimation and has a semi decent edge out of the box. The only con I have is that the belt clip is kinda crap, as a crafter I'll fix that in a jiff. Great shape and size for a horizontal sheath. Love it!

Heavy Duty!!
This knife is really sharp and Heavy Duty…but the handle is really small (3 fingers). You have to use the finger ring. Kind of pricey but really unique…could probably punch a hole through a 55 Gal. Drum. About 10mm thick. Nice sheath…Perfect fit and finish. Good job guys!! Thanks !! Have a good one. 😃

Thick and really big
Awesome THICK design, but its way too big. Seems like it was made for somone 7ft tall with huge hands. Also it doesnt come sharp.

High quality and one of the most affordable steels.
I'm a fan of M48 now. This karambit is beautiful! I love the design, the blade feels great in my hand. It's extremely intimidating. Worth the price for 3Cr13 steel, which is mainly comprised of Iron. It's 13% Chromium which is corrosion resistant, and 0.3 % Carbon which makes it a moderately hard blade that's easy to sharpen. It isn't S30V steel, otherwise the blade would come at a higher price.

Not bad.
The seller shipped this incredibly fast I love the solid, drop forged, build quality. However, the knife itself did not arrive very sharp and I am not a fan of the type of belt clip attached to the sheath. I have had problems with them breaking in the past.

Wow!
This is a very thick and solid blade! Has a dense, weighted feel to it like a real pair of solid brass knuckles. If the blade was made straight like a typical knife, you’d be able to stab through a vehicle door from the 50’s as many times as you wanted to and the blade would be fine. Your hands will brake and give out way before this knife will. Lol

Very big
This is not something you could carry every day. This is a very large, very awkward, caring blade.

Good quality
Looks Awesome and is heavy. Stays in the sheath good. I do wish the belt clip was reversible but other than that, no complaints.
