Smith & Wesson Karambit 8Cr13MoV Steel Thermoplastic Sheath

Great knife. Very sharp. I took a small flat head screwdriver and gently pried the sheath along the seams until I liked the retention. If you make it too lose just squeeze it back together with pliers and start again until it is just right. Nothing to it. If you cannot figure this stuff out, stick to a butter knife or a fork.

Absolutely love it.

Correct terminology: Reverse Kerambit. Perfect ergonomics. Beyond perfect. A masterpiece of design in every regard. Someone deserves recognition for this. Well made. Surprisingly good steel at this price. Esthetically beautiful. The bad part, the sheath. It takes two people to pull this knife out of the sheath. I see no way of fixing this sheath as designed. A deal breaker. I returned it. However, the knife itself serves so well in the self defense role. Index finger through the loop, point down and edge forward, the defender needs no skill nor training: intuition and the design of the knife will carry the day. I may purchase this knife again. If I do, I will use a hack saw to remove the retention portion of the sheath, and I will put an UltiClip Slim 3.3 belt clip on it (available on Amazon). The knife will have NO retention, but it will carry high and concealed, and draw like lightning. I might do that. If you want to try that too, you will not find a better self defense knife at any price on the internet.

The S&W SW995 is a decent blade for the price.(50.00 CAD) The knife was pretty sharp when I purchased it but I was able to sharpen it with a wetstone so it was really sharp. The knife itself is pretty solid and releases form the sheath with slight pressure from the thumb as it should. This particular knife is not shaped like your standard karambit blade but I prefer this design more. I also took off the stadard belt clip and installed the Bigtron Molle adapter which makes it easy to clip to my belt without having to undo my belt. Overall once I shaprened it and installed the Bigtron Molle adapter it's a pretty convenient setup.

Knife is ok for the price and with nice design, shape and look is great, but sheath isn’t easy to use, belt clip is useless, not comfortable and needs modifications. But like I said - price matching the expectations.
