Emerson Folding Combat Karambit

This is my newest purchase in my newly found Emerson addiction, the folding combat karambit.

This is a fierce little knife and I am intensely enamored with the design and function of this knife!

Pleas don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have, I am not the most knowledgeable guy when it comes to karambits, but if you have a question I can find out for you and that way we will both learn something new!!

Thanks for watching!

yes, a good piece. what about the material (steel)? I have old knifes that are handforged from iron. The iron was made from iron ore. I hear a lot how today things like blades are made from bad materials. Do companies use old scrap iron and make new iron out of it? ...because some blades are bad. The material must be bad. But I am not talking about expensive blades/knives from Japan and Sweden.

@kiftua Emerson knives are made from 154cm which is a premium stainless steel from Crucible Metallurgy. It is similar to Japanese ATS-34. It is a good mix of hardness, edge retention, and ease of sharpening and maintenance. I'm sure Emerson gets his steel in sheets from Crucible. Almost all knife companies these days are using high quality stainless and carbon steels.

dude i might be getting it and were do u live cuz i wanna know what stores you can get it at k

[macjmillsx]

@mattcirca I haven't seen any Emerson's for sale in any brick and mortar store anywhere near where I live.

I bought mine directly from Emerson website.

Hi there-- I totally enjoyed your review, as I own one of these knives myself. I've purchased one of this particular brand, as well as a more traditional karambit crafted with hand-forged steel and Filipino redwood (which was a gift to my father).

I just wanted to point out-- as a cultural reference: In the Philippines, "karambit" is pronounced "kahRAHMbit" ("kah" like "Khan", with more emphasis on "RAHM", like "rum"). I tend to snicker at "ker-ram-bit", but not in a bad way. Good stuff!

Thanks! Good to know.. I always feel like a dope when I mispronounce things.

Is it a high quality reliable knife ?

[chibnibles]

lol... "it could be deadly with very little training, you could also probably hurt yourself with very little training"

[jjbros195]

yes you can hurt your self i got a cut from flipping mine from retracted to extended and i hit my arm right on the point and it has a razor sharp edge because it is made to stab into brain from the back of the head or u could go from the side of the throat and slash out cutting the jugular and the wind pipe in one slash. how is the folding karambit i herd allot r junk i got a fixed blade karambit made bu cold steal

"nature doesn't mess around" May your quote be immortalized with the other great quotes. I just ordered mine today, better be worth the hefty price...I have one Benchmade and I only justify that price because of the LifeSharp service and quality of reputation.

Can you demonstrate the wave feature as being removed from your pocket? Thanks! Good vid. I just ordered the Fox with Emerson wave feature not because it was cheaper, but because everyone seemed to be out of the Emerson.

[dksharp1]

intelligent design my ass.

[kiftua]

@macjmillsx : Thank you for this good answer! You got over there really good things. My father was buying Austrian knives for his work and we have also some Italian knives. But stainless steel blades in the my local stores are cheap and probably just "normal" and not exellent. Like a throwing knife FOX ROSTFREI brand for 15 EUR (420 steel).
