Are all Karambits fixed blades?
A. No. In recent days as a result of American ingenuity (and based on the recommendations of Steve Tarani) many different models – both fixed and folding – are now available. Many different styles, sizes and materials are also used. If you are concerned about the practical application of the Karambit in all three forms of its available uses (utility, martial arts training, personal safety), then stick with the ones closest to the original traditional design.
