Insane knife designs by .caswell
・・・
Amazing blade called the Morphing Karambit by .caswell Highly innovative karambit style utility pocket knife designed to overcome issues associated with traditional folding knife designs that have been adapted to Karambit form.
Benefits of this new design include: • Seamless, Intuitive Blade Deployment. No need to remove fingers from the tool to allow blade to pass.
• User Safety is Enhanced because fingers do not cross the rotational path of a blade. This means the blade cannot close across the fingers like conventional designs, even in the event of lock failure. • Convenient, Discrete "Zero-Profile" titanium pocket clip allows secure, deep-pocket carry without sacrificing accessibility. It does not create discomfort while the knife is grasped for use. It is much less likely to snag upon or damage objects encountered in close quarters compared with a conventional protruding pocket clip. • Elegant Design including just FIVE principle parts, plus fasteners (and pocket clip). It is compact, rugged and optimized for use under demanding conditions.
• 100% MANUAL. MKV2 is NOT an automatic or assisted-opening knife! As such, it is generally legal to possess and carry anywhere a 2.5-inch locking folding knife is allowed.
