Extrema Ratio N.K.3 K, Stonewashed 04.1000.0213/SW karambit knife

Tuesday 15 October 2024

This is a beautiful knife. The shapes are really nice, this design is special and extreme. It is super sharp, the edge retention is great, high quality steel. With a 6mm edge its really bulky like a small axe and for that reason, its not useful in the same way as other knifes this size. You can actually use it for heavy batoning to split wood, as a prybar and also for slicing meat and vegies. So it could be like, "the smallest as possible survival tool", that is also unbreakable! However it wont slice an apple, due to its thickness, it just kinda breaks or splits it in half like an axe. That being said, I would like it much more if the knife would be designed for more utility and versatile use cases. Perhaps a bit thinner blade, or a different grind angle would help that issue. Its nice, but it could be more useful as a tool.
