3:40 What!? It was literally designed to stab... The designer himself points it out in his instructional courses. They layer clothes over dead deer to show that slashes won't do as much damage as stabbing will to clothed areas. That's one big reason why it curves forward like that, to put it in line with your arm to stab. You should know the products you sell.

[@MrMann703]

It's designed nicely for stabbing but karambits are meant for that reverse grip, this blade would do some severe damage with the slashing. Imagine a dirty boxing type slash, or like in wrestling shoot in for a single leg takedown but instead use an upward slash through the thigh will cut the femoral artery which is only about 1.5 inches below the surface, a femoral artery cut will stop a person by itself, 2-5 minutes before death if they don't stop the bleeding so they can get emergency help.

[@9unslin9er]

I sold mine to a buddy LEO a while back for the same impracticality reasons. The way it's positioned, it tends to print a bit too much as an EDC blade. As a weapon retention tool, i.e. clipped behind a cuff case, it's perfect. May order another one as my ESEE Izula, while handier, doesn't do self defense anywhere near as well.

[@MrMann703]

Well made video, i dont think i have seen one where the person covered in detail the features and uses of this blade and sheath like you have. I love the design of these knives great forward or reverse grip. The only way id like this more is if it had a blade on the backside for slashing in both directions

[@markd7762]

Nice knife. I have two of the larger size that I carry just in front of my hip bones. One for each hand. Carry my pistol at 4 o'clock and spare mag at 9 o'clock. I'd hate to be the recipient of two of these things slicing me open. Great video.

[@MrKlashmaster]

If I may, I'd also recommend the CRKT Obake if you are worried about sheathing and what not. I really enjoy the concept of a lightweight concealable fixed blade affixed somehow on the belt for self defense. Just makes sense. I appreciate the vid mate and keep em coming.

[@andywilson8698]

It's actually primarily a thrusting knife , ur more supposed to punch with it similar to a push dagger , cutting and slashing with a blade that small is rarely effective . Not saying it can't cut , just the thrust is far more effective with a smaller blade

How do you know it’s great? Have u stuck anyone with it? I bought one and a chunk of steel was missing from the edge about the middle. Something like 3 mm or so was gone from the edge, had to reprofile the edge, that and the sheath is practically junk. The clip is absolute junk. I can say this though...nothing beats a good old Gerber Mk II for cutting through jeans and meat.

[@aceiconia7215]

LOL you're a tool. You bought it with a "chunk" of steel missing?! I've NEVER gotten a knife that had a "chunk" of blade missing. Why didn't you just return it and get a new one? Is it because you're totally full of shit? A Gerber MK II???? That's a 6.5 inch fighting knife you jackass! I don't see many people (nobody) EDC that thing.
