What is harder to pull out the fox or the socp? I have the socp hook good tool but it's to easy tu pull out its really easy to lost it
I'm carry the all knife
feel like you could go with either just depends on your carry preferences. SOCP seems good if you want to carry a lower profile tool with more options for where you can easily carry it. it strikes me as more of a backup knife and doesn't seem very practical for daily knife tasks.
the karambit on the other hand has less options for where you can carry it but seems like a more substantial knife that would also have some daily knife use applications. and even with a single edge it is definitely still a formidable weapon. I don't really get why it has the EW catch on it still but it doesn't seem like a huge deal.
I actually just ordered a black bird folding karambit from fox knives. folds to a smaller profile and opens almost instantly with Bram Frank action (similar to Emerson Wave). but I get it some people feel more confident with a fixed blade in emergency scenarios. personally I like the idea of the folder over both of the fixed blades but folders are just my cup of tea for daily carry.
Why would the fox fixed blade have the wave opener on it? Unless it's also being used as a thumb ramp??
Why in tf did they leave the pocket catch on the folder on this fixed blade?? Makes no sense
im trying to decide between the 598 and the 599 thanks for the review i think im going with the 598, im getting it for defense purposes and we all know a fixed blade is best for that..
the socp not having sharp edges is a huge bummer, I sharpen mine. Is it still a dagger with dull edges?
Theres a screw on the sheath you can use to tighten the retention on it if it very start to loose its retention

I love the fix blade karambiy couz im a big fan of karambut blade and i wish someone give me the fox 599
Is the size of the 598 fox the same as the 599 or is it the same size as the 478?
Socp is more like a kunai…
I have to agree that the sheath on that karambit is outstanding. I'd go with the karambit for improved grip with both handle shape and thick G-10 scales.
Thanks! It really worked well against a watermelon!
If I lived in a freedom loving state I would carry the SOCP. You can hide that thing anywhere. In your boot, in your pocket, in your chest rig, as a neck carrier I mean anywhere!
Socp can go in a pocket vs this karambit being belt carry. I’d change out the sheath on the karambit. The one bad thing about the old socp was the clip. Karambit would be probably be more effective in a fight
I scout carry a socp on my motorcycle. If I crash I don't have to worry about the curved handle going into my body.
