Farm tool bud.

@@ronaldowens5025 how the hell would you use such a small blade as a farming tool?

@@ronaldowens5025 It's the opposite. The karambit was never a farm tool. It was invented as a weapon by mimicking animals claws. It was tool for hunters and gatherers. Later when people began farming and agriculture, they began making farming tools that mimicked the karambit.

Im not sure about the canku brand of karambits but the masalong karambits on amazon are indeed d2 steel and not just the blade it d2 full tang. My buddy is a Metallurgist and he was able to confirm that one for me with scartch tests and a few other things i know nothing about lol. You are right in the respect that most of the cheaper blades i have are not what they say but i did have one china blade that said 440 but it actually ended up being more along the lines of s30v from what i was told, the rest of the china blades pretty crap but not bad for the price.

The Canku "D2" has a validated HRC of 59-60 so it is likely properly heat treated D2 or at the least a steel with much better edge retention than the normal soft stainless we see.

Also, a “fighting karambit” is going to be double edged, and should have a sharp point on the ring.

The handle should fit you fine. It is a bit small but the curve helps keep it from spinning in your hand.

Wait, did KZfaq edit my fkng comment without saying anything to me???? That's wack-- literally chill out I'm tryna help keep people safe n you assuming I'm doing the opposite, how annoying- but whatever I guess??

I'm not sure how many self-defense situations you have been in when your life was in danger, or how many times you have had to deploy a weapon capable of inflicting lethal wounds, but you really should think about what you said. Saying you cut him with a small knife so as not to kill him just cut him up is like saying I pulled out my gun & shot him in the leg. If you are in that much control you are likely not threatened to the point of being in fear for your life, and an attorney will have so much fun with that. If you draw a weapon whether a firearm, big knife, or little knife you better be feel you are in grave danger & ready to use violence of action to stop the attacker(s) as quickly as possible. Also Bastinelli the designer of several of these knives, & Doug Marcaida who collabed on a few of them have videos up especially showing cut tests on denim sleeves filled with a pork roast. Even the diminutive Pika can easily cut deep enough to sever muscle, tendons, nerves as well as arteries & veins in the neck, arm, & leg. Also if you were to forcefully stab into the torso you could compress the rib cage enough to pierce the heart or lungs, & definitely could puncture the liver or kidneys with a powerful stab to the abdomen. To reach an artery would be even easier. The moral of the story is if you draw a knife against an attacker with your intent to scare them you will likely die, If you are being attacked & are only trying to land superficial cuts you will likely die. You need to meet their aggression with surprise & more aggression if you draw a weapon you need to be ready that they may not stop until dead or incapacitated from blood loss in other words about to die. You can't half-ass this otherwise you & your weapon are more of a danger to yourself. Also legally in your defense you simply were in fear of your life & you took action to make them stop, & once they stopped you stopped. That right there is the basis of legal defense for using a firearm or weapon against an attacker. I am open to discussion if you or someone else things I am wrong in general or on certain points afterall that is what this comment section is for not just trolling.

@@harvestblades I agree 100% and was going to say the same. I am cutting to keel if it's true self defense. I'm not in a fight club with rules. A little pika will eviscerate someone with one swipe like a zipper. I swear, video games, movies, and Martial art training has made everyone delusional

YES,YES,YES!!TECHNIQUE,THATS ALL This guy,dont have a clue about Karambit

For fighting they're utter garbage in general karambits don't make good fighting blades, and if you land a cut the bigger blade will do more damage. For an oh shit wtf situation where someone's on top of you you wouldn't need a big. In knife duels you want a big straight blade to fence with

You said it 👍🏾👌🏾

I love my Canku Pika clone! It is a hell of a little backup knife. My purpose for it is to create space when grappling to safely deploy a firearm.

@@magicbeetle2292 who TF goes around getting in knife duals??? I want a small concealed blade for last ditch self defense against an attacker that backs up my pistol. Pika is the perfect tool. It doesn't get used for anything else so is always ready sharp. My pocket knife is what I use for everyday tasks

My Cheap 17$ edc knife does exact same thing as my $180 Benchmade that got lost. The benchmade It still gets dull and needs sharpened, and they also break. My $40 hunting knife retains an edge just as well as $300 and up custom made knives.
