Hello bear comma the thing I like the most about these weapons that marcaida produces is the ring feature Kama now I most karambits have a ring feature but the ring feature on these specific karambits and the dart knife is amazing because of the retention Factor and the use of an impact weapon with the ring similar to brass knuckles or whatnot.. retention is huge hand with the ring feature it's not going to get hit out of your hand unless it gets hit with a baseball bat out of your hand LOLtrick knives. a straight blade that you can use for every day tasks will shank a dude every bit as well as a Karambit. and you can use them for normal jobs. which hopefully will be the main use anyway.
they have jam packed that full of tacticool haven't they.
Had the same issue with the clip on my trainer, I bought a special tool set for $10 at Walmart and I pull the clip off back-to-back reattached it and it works just fine now in fact it's almost too tight LOL
Is retention of a knife in play such a big deal that you require a ring to keep it in your hand? Using it as a brass knuckle can also change how your weapon is perceived. So your legal blade length knife now becomes a felony charge.
Good point. It's not the ring so much as the Emerson wave which I believe is the fastest deployment for a folder there is
I'll be putting up another review later I found a fatal flaw in the design when you spine whack it with very little Force lock fails bye bye fingers....
This is so alarming to me being that I paid upwards of almost $200 for the knife, and then it is used in a reverse grip so any one o'clock or 11 o'clock motion Andorra flail attack that makes contact with Buckle the line lock with virtually no Force and take your fingers off LOL. I contacted the website at the Ultimate Knife Kama I guess that's why they came out with the XT version that has the added locking mechanism, but they should definitely pull this one off the market and at this point I feel like I wasted money for sure very disappointed. Do you have any other recommendations in terms of fast deployment
Emerson wave I find too small to be reliable as an opener under stress drills. Never had to try it while actually being attacked, thankfully. Prefer the waves on Spyderco knives.
I'm left handed. For some reason, many knives with a thumb stud don't "feel" right. When I open them with my right hand, a smooth arc. Switch to my left, and the arc of the blade doesn't feel the same. No problem with spydie holes, though.
