Canku C1102 Fixed Blade Knife Tactical Knife D2 Blade, Stainless Steel Handle for Outdoor Hunting, Survival, Tactical and EDC, Fixed Blade Karambit Claw Knife with K Sheath

Meh.I like that’s it’s a knock off of the legit version. It lets you dip your toes into the water without too much risk.The design itself (owed to the originator) is excellent for a self defense knife. It fits nicely in the hand though if you have super big mitts, it won’t work for you. It’s light, fast and nasty.That being said...The workmanship seems cheap, almost tinny. But hey, it’s $20 and it’s still quite stabby so you can defend yourself with it.The biggest gripe is the sheath.The belt clip is super cheesy. It’s like a money clip. It won’t hold securely to your belt and has too much play. You’ll need to tie one end down with paracord, I think.Also, trying to get it into a horizontal, appendix carry is problematic. It really doesn’t want to lie along the waistline and some component of the handle sticks out.The WORST part is that the sheath has NO retention. Within maybe twenty draws it loosened up enough where some gentle shaking dropped the knife quite easily.Not good.I’ll need to find other sheath options.For the price, you might as well get it to see if you like the configuration. Then spring for the original and blunt this thing for your trainer.Ya get what you pay for.

This “might” be Chinese copy of a high-end European blade smith. If it was, the fact that it is essentially a karambit style prison shank might make you wonder if it was worth over $130. For $20ish, I decided to have a look at this one.A blade like this is defensive and not for work or for bushcrafting.1 - PRO – This one was wicked sharp and will cut your skin by the slightest touch. It comes to a delicate and razor-sharp tip. One practice draw stroke without good form left a faint blood line on my abdomen.2 – CON – My trainer has foam covered wooden “arms”. The first time it stuck in the wood, I comma cut and “slightly” bent the tip. Not a good temper, but maybe better that snapping off the tip? Look close at the photo of the tip. In its defense, many knives of this style use a slight tanto or tooth style tip for protection.3 – After that damage, I made an ALU trainer of the same size. This will take a beating and not damage the real blade or draw any blood.4 – PRO – good Kydex sheath with excellent retention.5 – CON – Average (at best) clip on the sheath. I will be replacing this clip with something more reliable.I can touch up the point of the blade and replace the sheath clip. I can smash about with the ALU trainer I made without hurting myself or the blade. It will still come in $100 south of a $140 price tag on a last-ditch defensive blade.

It's pretty much perfect. I doubt this is D2, and it's better that it's not D2, because then you would have to worry about proper tempering of the steel a lot more. This is a perfect price. From the pics you can see the quality is there. It's sharp, and fits my hand. The sheath is also good. Zero complaints. Well worth the money. The knife that's being emulated here is over priced. This is the knife to get.

Was really excited to get this....... Showed up a day early, sharp but........I recieved this knofe and it has a large noticable grind mark on the handle... Looks terrible. This one should have been pulled from production but still went to plateing and sold....It will still poke some holes and is essentially functional but not what you expect for a new purchase.Im 6.3 and have big hands it fits pretty good in my hand cutting edge alittle close but works fine.

Not bad at all.A little slim. Edge seems great fornthe intended purpose.The sheath on the other hand, i wish was tighter and had a better clip. It's more of a money clip style than a sheath style. I swapped mine out for a balostic nylon straps and it seems fine. Probably going to upgrade to a BLADE TECK when i get the chance.

Yes this is a clone of the Pika by Bastinelli knives. It is so lightweight and comfortable in the hand. I typically wear xl mechanix gloves and have no problem with its size. It is very lightweight and sharp... The blade itself is basically like a chisel grind, beveled on one side and flat on the other, but honestly, it is so sharp and slices so well... I tested it on an orange and it went in about 1/4" past the cutting edge without any force or effort. I can't see this being used as anything besides a self defense knife, which this blade would absolutely excel at.

These guys are doing a fantastic job of producing a quality product that is clearly a rip off of Bastinelli Knives. Seriously, it's not some disposable knock-off. As a tactical knife the D2 steel is awesome and comes sharp out of the box with decent sheaths but also come. While the designs are not their own, hence the title of the review, this is a fantastic knife for the money after you shelve your ethics.

If you're looking for a trainer Pika Karambit, and don't want to spend $135 on the Bastinelli Pika, this is your answer. Comes out of the box sharp. Blade is slightly longer than the Pika Karambit. The metal clip on the Kydex sheath needs to be repositioned if you plan on carrying everyday...depending on how you desire to hold the blade. Not sure how long it will hold a sharp edge due to the type of metal used. But, for the price, you can't go wrong!
