Can I legally carry this knife in New York/ Rhode Island?
Speed of deployment from the "Emerson wave" and resulting surprise should not be underestimated. It's going from unarmed to attack with almost no time lost for transition. The next consideration is whether a deep stab with a small twist on removal is going to be more decisive than a slash. Bad guys are huge fans of the "sewing machine" ovular repeating attack and there's a good reason. Unless the slash hits a vital, the opponent is going to still be able to fight. Also, if the slash hits bone, then damage will be reduced. A pierce is less likely to be stopped by bone. Finally, situational awareness and the contrasting levels of training and practice of those involved are decisive.
Is your brother the hitssatssuu guy? I like his reviews,
Original Karambits are double-edged blades. Slicing like a clock face is something that I would like to see. Slice (north to south) 12 to 6. Slice up (south to north) 6 to 12. Slice (west to east) 9 to 3. Slice (east to west) 3 to 9. You can slice the face or the body. I'm a novice karambit, but a double-edged karambit is deadly in seconds.
I think the tri ad lock on cold steel are way more safer for doing some reverse strike and non lethal maneuvers.
Definitely a good knife
cold steel Earlier versions of the steel also played an important role in cutting performance. ctc@xhp。
Emerson karambit's double tail loops in the grip structure design are stronger, making it faster, more stable and safer to find in the hand.
In my testing of my original CSBT, I did this to a couch cushion, an 8 inch block of foam rubber covered by heavy fabric. Very little pressure, looked like you shaved it open with a razor utility, no rough jagged edges….ZIP! Cut was entire length of blade deep
