If I ever feel threatened enough (ability, opportunity, jeopardy) to require this kind of defensive knife, I will be unholstering something with dramatically more range, intimidation and stopping power. But, that's just the option that I would choose if it came to such a moment, heaven forbid.

100% agree. However, never hurts to have a plan B, right? That is the beauty of this design, you get the most out of a few inches and a few ounces of blade.

Ka-bar produces a line of knives that are very karambitish. They idea is as a weapon (firearm) retention tool.

Man, it is a full out assault on the karambit. Where are some crazy east asians when you need them. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />
