I am VERY happy. It just came in the mail today! I have to say it is one of the best quality knives I've ever owned.
Here's my personal breakdown:
Pros:
-High quality N690co Cobalt steel. Hardly any need to sharpen
-Came out of the box razor sharp
-No blade play/jiggling
-Great finish
-Amazing G10 fiberglass infused grip
-Very ergonomic and comfortable to hold
-Rips through packaging & slices paper in a snap.
-You can make very very deep slashes with this
-The "wave" feature is amazing. See that hook opposite of the actual blade? As you take the karambit out of your pocket, that hook actually catches onto the outside of your pocket and the knife deploys. All by itself. No spring assist or anything. Extremely handy.
-The "ring" which you put your finger in makes the knife feel as if it's one with your body. No way of getting it knocked out of your hand. And the ring acts as a knuckle duster, heh.
Cons:
-My liner lock didn't work the first 3-4 times I deployed it. However, it just needed to be worked it -- it works flawlessly now.
-Mine came with the pocket clip on the wrong side. The screws were a pain in the ass to unscrew, hahahah. But I eventually used a pair of needlenose pliers and got 'em off. Works and looks fine.
I highly recommend purchasing one.
