Karambit Review
Overall... fantastic knife. Definitely worth buying. Great weight to size ratio and built like a tank. I especially like the shape of the blade which increases versatility vs the traditional shape of a karambit. Only down side to me imho is the red inserts of the handle. It comes across ostentatious and eye catching for something that I personally do not want to draw attention to.

Overall a good knife
The overall build is done well. However, the blade could be sharper out of the box. In addition, the liner lock needs to be improved; I’d say this is the weak point on the knife.

Spartan-Ronin Karambit
Beautiful knife! Less than 3”, with “Emerson Wave” feature, great work or defense knife - very sturdy. Blade with 154 CM, my first one had CTS-XHP - too soon to compare. Excellent communication from the company, fast shipping, well packaged.

Best EDC
This is the best EDC knife I ever owned. It is what I'd call beefy. It really fills the hand well and the Emerson wave on the spine makes for the quickest deploying blade that I know of. And the karambit handle insure that your hand won't slip or be dislodged. The Shoto is worth every penny.

Best EDC Blade
This is my absolute favorite EDC blade. The karambit style ensures a quick and stable draw and you don't have to worry about it slipping out of your hand. Also the tanto blade is a stabbing machine.

Everything works great except
The clip for my pocket broke off because it got snagged on seat belt. Need to replace the clip. Only have had it for a week. Other than that the quality is excellent and the knife works fantastic.

Spartan Ronin
I've wanted this blade for awhile, it's my 2nd Spartan blade and I love it, solid blade, good quality, very comfortable in the hand. The issue I have with it, I think the blade could've been a little sharper. Besides that great Knife!!!!
