I love me some different looking knives, and the REVO Knives K9 Karambit fits the different looking bill.
I found this company and knife by accident, and I have to say it’s an interesting design to say the least. Far from a run of the mill hawkbill Karambit, The REVO Knives uses a Recurved Tanto, being a fan of Recurved Tanto styled blades, I’m loving what I am seeing so far.
The price point isn’t bad either, at around $77 retail, I think I will try one out.
Check out what the company has to say:
Ready for deployment in any situation, the K-9 Karambit combines reliable performance with value. Made to perform: This knife was reviewed by retired Recon Marine Jeff Brown during the development phase to ensure its functionality and quality. The unique parang influenced, hybrid style blade ensures the K9 also serves as a highly functional EDC knife.
This K9 is extremely multi-functional and offers precision and efficiency. The pivot is bearing driven, allowing the knife to open smoothly. The pocket clip allows for multiple carry options. For those seeking a dynamic utility knife, the K-9 Karambit is the perfect fit, your everyday companion.
