Great little Karambit
Feels very sturdy, great EDC knife, only could have been a little sharper out the box but that can be fixed, still a 5/5 for me.

Mega Ultra Nice!
I ordered this knife as a gift for a friend. It arrived quickly and it was nicer than I expected. The handle is thick and sturdy. I like the large and wide ring. The blade is nicely finished and robust. I ordered another one for myself after playing with it for a couple of minutes.

Imitation
I see that Emerson just came out with a CQB-7 (I believe that's correct)Tanto/karambit design. While I'm sure it's a very fine blade, Tu Lam and Spartan thought it up first. Imitation IS the sincerest form of flattery.

Another ps.
I liked this blade so much I bought another one a week later. It is one of the most well thought out knives I have ever owned. I don't use any other blades but Spartan and have been a loyal Spartan customer for 10 years. I know I said this before, but anything cheaper than a Spartan blade is inferior and anything more expensive is unnecessary. If you stay with the Spartan line of knives, you will never go wrong.

Lethal Beauty
First, this is the most substantial folder I think I've ever held. Beefy is a good way to describe it. The knife itself is all business and for the untutored like me there will be a learning curve in mastering the draw technique. I would suggest an online training segment but with practice it will eventually be fine. If you're looking for concealment in a defensive blade then this one is a very strong choice. It is a very high quality blade from form to function. And you can't beat the. Price.
