Karambits

I’ll be honest, I love Karambits. I find their design, history, use and evolution fascinating.

Whilst lots of karambits of varying designs can be bought online at reasonable cost, this particular example would stand out. This #Pika #Karambit was bought direct from Doug Marcaida of Forged In Fire fame, and was designed in collaboration with FOX/ #bastinelli

It is part of a specialty collection called the Ace Cards Project and is 1 of 4 blades in the series – the others being the Spade (also in my personal collection, see below), The Anomaly and the Le Picoeur. These are viewed as collectors pieces that were never widely available in the UK.

In Northern Ireland, where there is no obvious collector network, it is reasonable to say that these blades are exceptionally rare and most people are will never likely see one in real life.
