Couldn't pass it up for $30 either. Now, can someone who knows about fighting knives please explain how you're supposed to use a karambit where the blade curves towards you? It all seems rather counter-intuitive. What's the big idea here?!? It's kind of funny that the video creator didn't even try a karambit grip. :)

For a US made m390 fixed blade at $30 I couldnt pass. Though I can see why it wasn't a >$100 knife. The carbon fiber was unfinished on mine and threads of it were peeling out.
@nicksknives77779 күн бұрын
@Flynn_Stones agreed the carbon fiber is lower quality. I also could do without the finger grove position.

I wanted to ask you about your Sharp by Design knives. Do you have any issues with the pocket clip being a hot spot? I just got my first one the Derecho and the clip is very sharp and it really is a hot spot for both hands. I'm gonna have to grind down the tip and round it off
@nicksknives777717 күн бұрын
@Layzboyedc sharp by design knives clips can have edges that could be knocked down a bit especially the apex. The mini tempest clips are gd stock and the mini evo isn't bad. I did have a friend who shapens surgical inst knock down the edges a bit. The clip retention and design are very gd but are better once the edges are knocked down a bit. Brian is Prob my favorite designer, and they are very nice knives. That is one i have not tried yet. Very unique looking knife.

@nicksknives7777Ай бұрын
@Layzboyedc I have a sharp by design mini typhoon with a brushed finish it has a couple of scratches but still looks very nice they are small. But I would imagine they would be a bit more noticeable because of the direction of the finish. All satin finishes will show more scratches, but they sure r nice to look at. I will do a follow up at some point. Berg blades still have some stone washed ones available. I like both, but I do like the satin more.
