What's really cool about this knife is the way it deploys, hold in your fist, push with u your thumb and the blade is extended out of the side of your fist. This seems to be standard grip for a karambit style knife, secured in this case with your index finger in the ring.As an everyday edc I would say it wouldn't be my first choice, as it is designed primarily as a fast-deploying defensive blade.The action is incredible, it deploys sharply and easily with a push of your thumb. Closing it is another matter, needing 2 hands and pressing a hard little piece of plastic, not quite as easy.I used it to open a bag of sand, quickly deployed, and slashed the bag from right to left to open. It was fun, but counter intuitive for normal pocket knife users. Same with cutting cardboard boxes. Curved blade was great but you have to change your grip. Of course this is not what it was designed for.Overall if you love cool knives, this is a real fun one to have for under 100. The fidget factor is phenomenal. Not the knife for benignly cutting an apple, unless you're on the set of the next John Wick movie! But way cool design and fun to play around with. Kudos Joe Caswell!

Im Vergleich zu meinem crkt provoke 4040, bin ich eher vom Öffnungsmechanismus und von der Verarbeitung enttäuscht.

Cyberpunk karambit made by crkt. It’s kinda overpriced and customer service at Crkt isn’t the best but the damn thing is cool and sharp. Well made, I was hesitant about the plastic but it’s solid.

A beautiful knife with all of the rugged badassness of a karambit and the convenience of a folding blade, but she's more squirley than a balisong and sharp like a razor!I love the feel and play of this knife! My eyes lit up like a kid on Christmas flicking/flipping the blade open and spinning it around in my hand, but beginner beware! The a-symmetrical handle is more pronounced with a folding karambit and the one sided belt clip limits the number of possible draws. As you test different draw techniques you'll find that some of the flips and spins are treacherous, especially when the blade is facing a inward. I knicked my thigh testing a single action draw from my right side pocket so make sure you get a good feel for the knife before you try getting fast or fancy.Mechanically speaking the action is smooth and sturdy like a trusty old bolt action rifle. It almost feels like there are retention magnets in the handle to hold the blade close but I can't seem to find any.Astetically the plastic handle is a little corny but with the full metal models being double the price I ended up going with the cheaper plastic model. It doesn't feel half bad but the colors are very bold and don't mesh well if you're looking for a conceal option. The good news is the plastic seciton seems to be modular and independent (pending there isn't a magnetic retrntion) so a skilled wood worker, 3D printer, or blacksmith should be able to easily fashion a new handle out of their material of choice.Overall it's a fun, beautiful, and dangerous knife with a uniqueley gorgeous design... What's not to love?
