I have owned this knife for over 4 months so I can give a honest review now to help anyone thinking about buying one. This is one terrific custom Karambit knife! I bought a couple before on Amazon some for more or less money but I quickly returned them as the steel was junk, they were only cool looking, or they were dull as my grandma's butterknife others only comfortable if held in one position. This knife from its overall look to the fact it comes extremely sharp as well as comfortable either way you carry it and the quality steel holds an edge for a long time makes it outshine the others for similar price or even those a lot more expensive. I own hundreds of knives and I can honestly say this is my favorite EDC knife. The Kydex holster is made very nice and keeps the knife secure and we'll hidden and avoids printing. The seller was extremely helpful as I wanted both the Kydex and leather holster for it and they have me a terrific price to include the both holsters. If a weapon jambs or is unavailable due to location or fight for your life this knife is well made for self defense. Yes, it's a bit over the top as far as a box opener but if you want to get some attention or show off to your friends you certainly will do so with this beauty. I have spent over 10× more for a knife but this one is fantastic and though I wouldn't want it to IF it happens to get lost I wouldn't cry (much) over it kinda like when my Microtech was stolen ?. I had to wait about a month to receive mine PLUS it was $20 more so it's nice to see their stocking it for 1 day delivery for Prime members like myself. As for the price reduction I'm surprised and probably buying the Damascus one, once I'm finished writing this. I see other buyers giving fewer stars but I can truthfully say that mine has been awesome in everyway, it's built nice but as all products your sure to come across a dud here and there BUT I would have to say with the helpful staff and quick answers and nice people I can't see them not backing up their product. This is a great gift or item for knife lovers and especially law enforcement as I have been told that a Karimbit in the boot in a fight with a jambed weapon or perp who has knocked it away it can be a important last defence tool that can easily save their/your life and is hard to disarm from you with a finger in the ring! I'm happy to answer any questions from potential buyers or owners. But it's safe to say wether for yourself or gift to someone else it will most surely be appreciated!
