SURVIVAL
Although these several simple tests show that the legends
associated with karambits are mostly a marketing gibberish
and doleful remains of the stories ingrained in the folklo-
re, I do not assume them as something wrong. For an en-
thusiast of the knives even a fact of having a legend can
constitute an added value and provides a uniqueness of the
concerned weapon. A fact that in the ruins of the old castle
does not appear a Lady in White, does not diminish its at-
tractiveness and do not add to it any housing qualities. Just
alike as a karambit – even when it is deprived of the magical
features it is still an interesting, exotic design, unnecessarily
intended for a tillage.

FROM lkw kNIves:
Is it a good karambit? Well, I guess so – it is neatly made,
a solid piece of the claw with a thin thrust, sharp and
even cutting edges, pleasing eyes and ensuring a big fun
when twisting spinning wheels around a finger.
Is it a good knife for an everyday usage? Not really, as
every good (and the more poor) karambit. For cutting are
better knives with a straight blade and even chipping
always indicated as an activity during which a curved
blade might work better, was not an evidence of a supe-
riority of the karambit.
Is it a good knife for a self-defence? No, it isn't. As any
other.
Is it a lethal knife? Yes, however not more than any other.
