Same as the Kunai. Everybody knows them as ninja weapon but originaly it's just a simple gardening knife / seedig tool. And the answer why assassins use gardening tools is pretty straight foreward, when the police or their equivalent piked you up it was way less suspicious to have a gardening tool on you instead of a dagger.

Now, I say broken, but what I mean is, "You're gonna wrench your meaty freaking thumb out of its socket". Wait, are you reverse gripping a Karambit? Do people reverse grip karambits? That must be a CoD thing, surely. Ah, oh, eeww. I can't even visualize that without getting stabbed for my effort. What even~ that gains you no leverage or mechanical advantage and that blade is too short and tapering to hit vitals, WHAT ARE YOU STABBING?! No, no, no. This whole thing screams "Mall Ninja".

Spinning it is a part of the associated martial arts for these knives. They will actually throw it out by the ring in order to make cuts. But sometimes they miss the catch on the return. Having a scar on your wrist from where you imbedded in your arm is almost a rite of passage for such practitioners.
