Kershaw Outlier, Tactical Karambit Style Folding Pocket Knife with Assisted Opening, Reverse Grip, Blackwash Finish on Handle, Liner Lock, 2.6 inch Blade with Deep Carry Pocketclip

I absolutely love Kershaw. I have a collection of their products. This knife is one of my favorites. It opens smoothly and the locking mechanism is secure. It's perfect size for all sizes of hands, fits in my large hand and also my wife's smaller hand. It comes super sharp and just like all my other Kershaw knifes, super durable. The design is awesome and has the perfect angle on the curve. Its light weight but strong.

Awesome blade for the money. Comes out of the box extremely sharp! Plus it looks cool. Perfect size for any pocket. This has become my every day carry. 10/10.

This knife is super sharp and the quality is amazing. Definitely worth your money

Good knife build, super sharp blade. Can open blade in multiple different ways. I liked it so much I bought another one. 1 for work and 1 for EDC.

If feels like a nice quality tool, has good ergonomics, the assisted opening works great and the blade is very sharp. However, there is a design flaw that which makes this knife less than ideal in a defensive situation. It's not set up to open in the standard karambit defensive grip, with the index finger in the ring, pinky by the the blade, with the claw pointing up. Instead, it's designed to open in the pinky in the ring, thumb over the blade, with the claw pointing down configuration. If that doesn't bother you too much, this is a really nice karambit for the price. I am not too bothered by it myself and am glad to have this knife to my collection. Can't give it a perfect score though.

Quick, sharp, fast to deploy. Worthy of EDC.

I have always loved Karambits. I have a few different styles but all the fixed blades are a pain to carry comfortably. This is the first folding Karambit I really liked that wasn't cheap feeling and trashy material. I have some really expensive pocket knives, I mean like 300-400$ ones and I like this as my daily carry more than those. Primarily because for normal cutting instances, this is sufficient, and if I break, I would not be pissed like I would with one of my expensive knives. So far, I have only sharpened this once and used it as an EDC for boxes and everything else. The curve on the blade makes drawing the knife towards you with a cut slightly 'pull' the object towards you that you are cutting. It seems to help it not get away from you like a straight blade does. I have thought about buying a handful of these given the price and just have them around. It always seems when I find something like this I really like, it goes out of production. I would be very sad if that happened with this knife. I primarily buy Zero Tolerance knives (the higher quality sister company to Kershaw) but Kershaw is still a solid step up from the normal junk you find at a gas station checkout or county fair kind of knife shop. I would recommend this without hesitation. It is comfortable to use in either position of grip with the karambit, the clip and the finger ring make drawing it out of a pocket easy, and the dark color makes it discrete. The only thing I might say I don't care for is it is slightly difficult to manipulate from pocket to deployed firmly in hand with one hand, so I wouldn't count on this as a defensive weapon unless you had a second to deploy it hands-free.

Knife is worth it
