Thanks Tom. This truly is the Knife I had envisioned in my mind. The handle and ring lines up perfectly in my hand and the blade comes out at an angle (not curved as much as a true Karambit, but a little straighter) enough for stabbing while still allowing it to pull itself into the cut. Plus it isn’t overly long, just enough to get ‘er done. It is after all, a DEFENSIVE blade made to make the bad guy give up or to buy YOU enough time to get away. I like it.
