my pocket and told my classmates about it, I remember how they clapped and wanted to see. The teacher told me she was going to hold on to it. Not because she thought there would be playground violence, rather, she was concerned someone would like it more than me and it would disappear. I’ve always had some type of knife in my pocket, and
M
during my school days the teachers would often ask to borrow it for some cutting task the classroom scissors couldn’t handle. In today’s world I would have been ex- pelled. But fast-forward almost 40 years and I still have a knife or two on me at all times. Guns are my thing, but guns and knives go together
like peas and carrots. I also carry a gun everyday, but I use a knife almost daily. When I hunt, I use different knives for dressing game and camp chores. In my day-by- day life, I use some knives for chores, like opening pack- ages or removing an Irish pennant from a shirtsleeve. I
y relationship with knives started sometime around kindergarten. I remember bringing in the tiny pocket folder my grandfather had given me to my kindergarten class for show and tell. When I took the knife out of
also have at least one folder on me at all times as a backup to my backup. My fascination with steel brought me to the
Karambit. I know it’s been labeled a “nitch” or cult following type knife, but the all business look of them has always caught my eye and I decided to learn more about it. While surfi ng YouTube, I stum- bled on a video by ReNu Tech Solutions. RTS is the sole distributor of FOX Karambit knives. FOX is known worldwide for making awesome knives, and I found the Karambit and trainer as both very high-quality products.
Why A Trainer? The live Fox Karambit is scary sharp and most un-
forgiving if you don’t respect its cutting ability. Having an identical knife in size and weight with a dull, training blade makes practicing drawstrokes and manipulations a safe experience. If you feel blade contact on you at any- time, you aren’t ready for the live blade. The folks at FOX know a good thing when they see it.
Built into every Karambit is the patented Emerson Wave Opening Feature. This feature makes for lightning fast draw/opening. It only requires a few practice draws to see how fast this knife comes out of the pocket, open and ready to work. I’m a few months into my FOX
Karambit education, and I’m still enjoying the journey. I’m confi dent in my ability to deploy the live blade and I still practice with the trainer every chance I get. Feed your need for the riddle of steel and check out one of the fi nest personal-defense weapons ever developed. The Trainer and G10 Fox Karambit combo is available for $194.95.
