Recently picked up a Compact. Took it to work today. I gotta say, in spite of the pocket real estate it eats up, & the ergonomic issue of the locking lever, there's a fun factor here that will probably see this thing get some rotation.
Ive been using a regular kaeambit as an EDC knife for a while now the single edge curved blade is handy more often then not so a foldable solution is perfect for me
Nice knife; I might have to get one. For me, the compact would probably be the way to go, as it gives up nothing to the full size, IMO. I often carry two knives, one of which is an EDC for regular tasks such as cutting tape, cardboard, or whatever else it may be needed for. The other knife is a defensive knife which is razor sharp and ready to perform one single task. Where I live, a fixed blade knife is illegal to carry unless it is clearly visible (meaning it can't even be hidden under a jacket on your belt), which defeats the purpose for me. I prefer a folder with an Emerson deployment system for rapid deployment, but this may be the next best thing.
I have an spiderco emerson folder before I retired it for the provoke zap I found out that with with thumb opener on the provoke it could be used as an emerson wave they say it's not recommended and I noticed when I do it my phone case gets a little scratched but if you need the knife fast you can pull it out your pocket with you index finger already in the hole pull it out and put in work
I just got mine in the mail, hate it, the arms rub against the body making it only open half way with a quick thumb push like the way the guy did in the video
I bought one of these from Blade HQ and I was very disappointed. The knife was well built the problem was closing it. The button was nearly impossible to push in without breaking your thumbs. I returned it they gave me my money back but not the shipping cost I will never do business with them again. I went on Amazon and bought the full-size one and it works perfect.
@@tom3699 perfect, i just ordered one last night and its coming tuesday. really excited as i wanted a karambit that was legal carry in my state and i love the karambit style in general. my first knife that is worth quite a bit too! cant wait to get it.
There are dozens of cheap utility knives at ur local hardware store. Why would you use a $100 to $200 fighting knife for boxes?? Some ppl dont live in the safest cities or states. Self defense is necessary in the U.S/ the World.
