LionSTEEL LEONE Karambit Folding Knife with CPM-Magnacut Steel Blade, Integral Solid Aluminum Handle, Emerson Wave Design, Made in Italy

Wow. This is an awesome Karambit. Works Flawlessly every time. The craftsmanship is excellent arrived sharp and needed no fine tuning. Great for EDC. Loaded w extras and worth every cent. If you know how to use it for close counter attacks it will not fail you. It’s my favorite knife now I hope I never have to use it full force, which would be a last resort. Get trained and all you need to do is stop the attacker. I highly recommend this piece you will be happy w it. Plus it’s lifetime guaranteed. Made in Italy !!

Wasn't sharp when I received it and because of steel and it's shaped, it's hard to sharpen. Disappointed.

The fit and finish of the knife are excellent, but it arrived very dull. It would be five stars if they had put a decent edge on it.

OK price for excellent EDC karambit w/ best blade steel available. Knife made to extremely high specs, requires no tuning or lube out of the box. Shipment from Blade Center well done w/ good packaging, quick delivery under Amazon auspices.

Steel: MagnaCut is an incredible option. Absolute best balance between hardness, corrosion resistance, and edge retention. It isn’t too hard to sharpen either. It was sharp out of the box, well balanced, and the action is incredible. The curvature is perfect for slicing, as is the point of a karambit. I like the flat cornered tip—seems to make it a little harder to break off.Handle: WOW. Amazing design. Perfect craftsmanship. Amazing deployment with the Emerson option (takes a minute to get used to if you’ve never had one.. turn it outward a bit to snag it on your pocket). The flip works excellently when needed. The O works smoothly as well.Pocket clip: a bit slippery. Solid construction, but wish it caught just a tiny bit more so it wouldn’t slip. Still, not bad. Maybe advantageous if using for self defense.Style: karambit is a great option for last resort self defense and more importantly as a cutting tool. It seems to me the curved blade excels for practicality in all forms.Craftsmanship and design: well made. Great materials, no blemishes (on my model) and I believe this to be a near flawless design. This is of course opinion based on a knife nerd.Value: I have knifes several times the price of this one with half the features, which I still believe to be of great value and well worth it. To find a knife like this at the price they are charging is pretty unheard of to me, even if just for the steel alone. Definitely worth it in value.Should you buy it?: if you want a versatile, rather large and capable knife as an edc, I recommend this knife. Very impressed in all ways. It is my go-to knife. Comparably I own a Fox karambit (which I also very much recommend if you want a smaller blade) but this one is by far my favorite option. Again, I’m impressed.
