It's a weaponized fisherman's knife, it was meant to let you use your hands without dropping your knife.
Most people would run the moment a Karambit was daployed and spun in front of him
It's a specialty weapon. Unless you're trained you want as basic a weapon as you can get
The difference is being trained to use the karambit specifically. It's meant to be used almost as a grappling tool where you can get in close and wrap the weapon around joints to do pull cuts as you grapple. This also means that the karambit is more restricted in its intended use, meaning that a standard knife is much more useful and easier to learn to use safely.
You're not supposed to stick it in and hold it in.That's not the way it is used so if used properly.You don't have this problem realistically the only problem using one is training.
