I have a confession to make.
As a gamer with a slight Ubisoft addiction, it was natural that my interest got piqued when I saw Sam Fisher's weak side knife in the new Splinter Cell game and how absolutely SICK it looks.
Also, I've been looking for a good weak-side belt knife to defend against a possible gun grab, with a sheath that I don't have to break to get off (my work disallows knives). The last entry was the Browning Black Label with a tek-lok sheath that I absolutely despised. Go ahead, start hating.
I saw the Emerson, I saw the Fox's, I saw the Spyderco hawk bills that looked terrifyingly awesome, but I settled for .... the $20 Colt Desert Karambit. Link: http://www.smkw.com/webapp/eCommerc...sert+Karambit+with+Tan+G-10+Handle/CT513.html
Index finger ring: Check. Easily removed kydex belt sheath: Check. Affordable price: Super Check.
So ... there's my confession. I bought a cheap knife and my first impression is that it's a bargain. Anybody else have Karambit stories or purchase suggestion? I may just make a whole sub-collection of these wondrous things.
