Buyer BEWARE when buying these karambits! I purchased a three of these exact karambits directly from Elemental Knives last year before this poll was even a thing. They are beautiful, yes, though the handle is generic cheapo molded hard rubber for every handle, the most important and glaring issue that I had was that the business edge of the knives were NOT SHARP. The point is very sharp as would be expected of anything shaped as such, but it seems as though the edges came blunted directly from the supplier. DO NOT BUY if you expect to use these as anything beyond ornamental display knives.
i said bulk ordering off amazon doesnt work, the knife should be fine i use the unpainted version all the time, paint might come off if you cut something but who uses a karambit for cutting anything.
