@Solareffects it comes un sharpened

the clip is meant to be unscrewed and turned upside down. it has the picture of it like that on the original box. they turned it like that for shipping and packaging purposes

@Solareffects Thanks for watching!

@MrsTruthSeeker 1 year later and I still carry this knife, even though I haven't gotten around to sharpening it. Seems like you're correct about the rust resistance, it's held up really well in that department. I would need a coarser stone to sharpen it, might pick one up. However, the tip is very sharp and that's why I've carried it for the past year or so.

@DemonHide Its 420JS almost NOT POSSIBLE to get it rusty! 420SJ Rather soft Stainless Steel but u can sharpen it EASY and RAZOR sharp, no rost at ALL, dont keep sharpness that long like higher carbon metall blades but u wont cut wood with it anyway but clothes and meat ;) example: people use plastic karambits for selfdefense!
Peace

@Vladear u can sharpen it to RAZOR sharpness! I guarantee you that! Can shave my arm hair with it!
Peace

Excuse me, I meant to say 420J2 steel.
Same reason I came across this knife! Was interested in a karambit, looked good even though it was cheap. Seems like it would be decently practical (with a slightly longer blade length than some). I thought it was a sharp outside edge, too. Thanks for letting us know it's not, but that's something that can be corrected.
As for the steel, there's only speculation that it's 420J. You decide how rust-proof that is (probably sucky).
Also, shout-out to Kevinarmstrong1! Good to see him here.

The grip serrations are to stop the blade rotating when you're doing an extension (a knife fighting technique specific to the karambit). I like the cold steel nightshade karambit for training they are quite cheap too. Good review :)

is the knife any good? as far as blade sharpness and whatnot

Not exactly razor sharp, but about as sharp as a Hibben throwing knife.
