Cool little knives. Fox makes some well built ones too.Some of the examples shown above are Karambits that are single edge and one is double edge. Be informed of your state laws for some states do not legally allow double edged knives, and may also limit the length of the blade when carried concealed.
I'm pretty sure they call that knife A FELONY where I live . . . HAHA . . . sad but true.I have a knife (Benchmade Infidel) on me and often in my hand, as I walk from my car to a certain building I have to frequent in the middle of the night. It's not in the greatest part of town and if I get jumped, no way I can get to my carry gun in time. I have some training, but have a very intimate knowledge of the human anatomy.
I'm no longer carrying a badge, so any time I carry one of my Karambit's am probably going to get a bit more attention than I want, and confiscation is always a risk. But for that reason I actually carry one, hoping that the sight of such a nasty weapon would discourage further aggression. And brandishing is still brandishing.I'm pretty sure they call that knife A FELONY where I live . . . HAHA . . . sad but true.
I have a few cheap out the fronts for fun, but I wouldn't chance an expensive knife like that being "confiscated".
I don't carry an out the front knife, and everything I learned in Kali (sticks & daggers) involved double edge daggers . . . which I have . . . but are illegal to carry. So I carry a Gerber covert, which is not double edged, and is just under 4" so is legal. The serrations make it great for cutting line to tie down things on the truck, which is it's main practical use. I work in people's homes and it amazes me the amount of senior citizens that have killer dogs that they can't control. Had to fight a wolf dog once, which I had by the throat as it frothed from the mouth to try to kill me. It was kinda like having a tiger by the tail. I got away with one scar, I won, but I was the only one bleeding. After the fact I thought if there are two dogs the knife could be good in a pinch. A fixed blade would be better, but hard to conceal & I don't need the "what's the knife for?" conversation everywhere I go. Most people see weapons as a threat & feel very SAFE with their mobile phone as their primary weapon.I'm no longer carrying a badge, so any time I carry one of my Karambit's am probably going to get a bit more attention than I want, and confiscation is always a risk.

I wholeheartedly agree!Never leave the house without a flashlight, pistol, and knife. I'm not much of a knife-fighter BUT the knife has great utility in all sorts of arenas. It's sad that entities like TSA and the like try to 'defang' people by targeting useful tools those people need and should have.
Here's my usual 'always have it with you' EDC suite when going anywhere (sometimes it's the copper knife, sometimes a cold steel recon, sometimes the Kershaw with the integral screwdriver set, etc. and sometimes it's a Glock or Sig C3, etc. for the carry gun rather than the Sig 365). But a man needs to have on him his basic toolkit IMHO.View attachment 10674
I like it, I like it a lot!Don't carry a knife for defense, sorry to say that I have not trained to use one in self defense either but would not hesitate to use the one I do carry if need be if that was my last resort!.
oh and by the way I carry a purple Loconico Keen!
Picture found on internet but this is the exact knife I carry daily

Define fighting dirty LOLPlease let me clarify this isn't a bravado statement. I've instilled this is my 120# daughter. I'm not real tough anymore. Too old and broke down. I'm not opposed to fighting dirty
That is wicked. Wow!Unique, in that it is a double edged Karambit from United Cutlery, the Undercover Karambit. For those that study Kali, very effective with both forehand and backhand movement with minimal wrist rotation. View attachment 8720
