Here is my latest version of the karambit. It has the same handle as earlier version but the blade is about 3/4 in longer and more curved than the previous models. Specs are
1/8 CPM154 stainless
6 3/4 overall length
2 1/2 double edge blade

Thanks for looking
Eric

Nice -

Double bladed version in future?

Have limited experience with kerambits, yours looks well executed.

V/R,

By double bladed do you mean a blade on the back/pommel?

No plans for any double bladed things, I have enough trouble doing sheaths for one blade;) I could do one if someone requested it but I don't see them being regularly made models.

A very nice blade indeed. I especially like the knotted tip on the ring. You don't see that on very many of them. I've never seen knurling on the back end of the blade... nice touch as well.

I have been looking into creating a version of the Karambit myself. Instead of knurls I would like to add a single barb. one sharp enough to serve various purposes. Currently I own a Tarani karambit that was given to me by my Kali instructor. It is entirely too thick, heavy, and way to big for my small hands. Thus I've decided to custom make one for me. I've already stabbed myself flailing this one around. :D
