Scored a NIB Warren Thomas Karambit

[American1776]

Always admired the Warren Thomas Karambit, and finally found one NIB.

This is a beautiful little piece of fine craftsmanship.

It’s also a BEAST. The tip is super sharp and the frame lock is perfectly executed. I would estimate that the cost to produce this was much more than its price tag could justify.

A beautiful little gem.

What is the purpose of that knife? Self defense?

I have never seen one and I have only seen a few pictures of them. Nice find.

That's a beautiful knife. Though I'm pretty sure you could just punch for self defense.

Speaking of Talons & Claws, man that’s a nasty little fella!

Dear American1776:

Congratulations on your score! I've got one of those in my collection from the old days. Definitely a unique piece.

Stay safe,

Mike

Cool little blade

... and the size of your upper arm certainly warrants wearing a Superman-shirt!

I was totally gonna comment a similar thing. Or the fact that my full body mass is contained in one of American1776's arm !

Thanks for all the replies.

It’s a nice little blade that really has a nasty bite (the tip got my finger in a moment of distraction).

(And thanks for the compliments on my fitness: I’ve been a powerlifter for 25 years and will be lifting until the day I die).

[benja-man]

How do you deeply deploy the blade? Pinky finger?

Cool.

Always appreciate when people are enthusiastic for whatever physical activity these days where so many seem to have forgotten that they actually have a body, muscles, bones.. that are meant to be used.

And everyone who (still) CAN should be grateful for that.

Dude, that is one wicked looking knife and congratulations on the find but I honestly don’t think you’re gonna need to use it after that first punch cause they ain’t gettin’ up

[Naperville]

It looks good. I like them, but I have never trained in using one. The best guy I've seen using one is Ray Dionaldo of FCS. He has training videos that you can buy on his website.
