Until further notice, all Emerson knives will be sold directly through Emerson. We apologize for any inconvenience. The stonewashed Combat Karambit from Emerson Knives, brings you the first in the next generation of folding knives. With the advantage of the Emerson "wave shaped feature", this is one of the finest personal defense weapons ever developed. Others will follow, but you will own the first and the best from the worlds leader in "Real Deal" Hard Use Knives. The Combat Karambit features an ergonomic handle design that fits Forward and Reverse Grip perfectly. The Bullnose Karambit features Emerson's patented "wave shaped opener" or Remote Pocket Opener. In an emergency or injury situation the knife can be opened with one hand as it is drawn from the pocket.
