Very large karambit, the sheath holds firmly, made precisely. I have reservations about the protruding bump near the finger hole—it makes it difficult to spin the karambit. The sharpness out of the box is not at the level of a combat knife, more like an axe, but after a few hours with Lansky rods, you can shave with it. Overall, after sharpening the knife, I am satisfied with it.
The N karambit was designed by Austin McGlaun, a former US soldier with experience in Iraq. Produced by CRKT as part of the "Forged By War" collection, the karambit showcases a curved, sickle-like Wharncliffe blade and a finger-blade for enhanced grip. The finger-blade also functions as an attachment point for a rope or lanyard, preventing loss during use.
A full tang design, incorporating a bolt running through the entire handle, ensures exceptional durability. Crafted from SK5 carbon steel, the blade is highly resistant to cracks and chips. A black powder coating provides effective corrosion resistance.
The handle is constructed from tough, ergonomically shaped G10 glass-epoxy composite. Included is a sheath made of glass-reinforced nylon, offering a secure hold for the knife. Multiple holes in the sheath allow versatile attachment options to belts or gear.

Very nice, large karambit—just the way I like them. A solid piece of steel and quite sharp. I recommend it.
