Ccanku C1102 Fixed Blade Knife,D2 Steel Blade Stainless Steel Handle Claw Knife with Kydex Sheath for Outdoor EDC Camping Hiking(Black)

So, no, it's not a Bastinelli. It's inferior steel and the sheath clip is cheap (but seemingly strong). Honestly, what's a karambit made to do? It's not supposed to survive prying or batoning or stabbing a car door 100 times. It's supposed to be a no-frills, quick access, last resort defense. This karambit provides all of that at about 10% of the price for a Bastinelli and I don't see that there's really all that many options between the 2 price points and, maybe, no real benefit to paying much attention to them. The Ccanku is absolutely fine for what it is. The sheath was a little too tight--I don't want to pull a sheathed knife from my boot--but repeated unsheathing/sheathing was enough to fix this issue as the sheath material is somewhat soft. The edge wasn't as sharp as would be expected at a higher price point but edges can be sharpened. I. might replace the clip but, then again, I might not. This is a throw away knife. A little hard to decide whether I prefer the ring around my index or middle but that's not a design issue, it's a hand size issue and no way around potential issues, there. Had I spent $140 there's no way I would have reviewed it 5 stars. Sub $20? Easy.

If you're looking for an excellent primary or backup knife that's easily tucked away, this is an excellent example. Since it is an inexpensive, spot on clone of the expensive Bastinelli Pika, you get all the benefits of the expensive knife, but in a more reasonably priced package. While I can't be sure what the knife is actually made of (D2 or some type of stainless steel), if it's used as it is designed to be used, it will make no difference because it will perform. The Kydex sheath had very good retention right out of the box, but I added a little bit of heat and made a slight adjustment to suit my personal preferences. The clip that comes with it is pretty much useless, so I removed it and installed an Ulticlip 3.3, as I do to nearly all my personal protection/weapon retention knives. You can not beat the quality for the price, and in my opinion and experience, this goes for all the knives I've purchased from Ccanku.

This knife is a very close replica of the well-regarded Bastinelli Pika. I certainly didn't expect Bastinelli quality from a ~$20 knife, but I was pleasantly surprised by this little karambit. The good: the finish on the steel is actually pretty solid - it's far from high-polish, but it's smooth and free from any serious blemishes. The knife was surprisingly sharp right out of the box. The bad: it was packed in a tin box, and by packed I mean rattling around loosely. The sheath isn't terrible - too loose in some respects (rattles around a little during carry), but too tight in others (it's difficult to get a smooth release). I'm inclined to think that some wear will smooth out the draw in time. The pocket clip is absolute crap - in many respects I wish they would forego the tin shipping box and put a few extra cents into the pocket clip. I think I have a spare Tek-Lok I will throw on it and at least the clip issues will be solved. I have owned an actual Bastinelli Pika on several occasions, never keeping it for very long, mostly due to the rather ridiculously high price tag on it - not saying it's not worth it, but it's not been worth it to me. I do expect that I will actually keep this little knife - under $20 for a fast, sharp little karambit almost puts it in the realm of disposable. If you have been on the fence about buying Bastinelli Pika, order one of these ASAP. Well-worth the minimal investment. EDIT: Several months in and this is my EDC in-waistband. LOVE this little knife - deployment is much easier with a little wear on the sheath (as expected), and IWB there is zero rattle. 100% worth the price.

Good machining, no rough spots or damage. Fits very well in hand reverse or regular grip. Blade itself was decently sharp but the tip was dull and rounded. Sheath is decent for what it is. Single sided blade is not ideal for cutting as it tends to go diagonal.

I really, really wanted to hate this. Feels good. Lightweight. I changed the belt attachment. Comes in a tin box, which is cool. Pros: Handles well Small Cheep! Cons: Gotta get used to weight while flipping Edge needs refinement. Nice copy of a gucci karambit for a 16th of the cost. Love it!

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.

If you wanna play with a karambit that’s oh so similar to a famous brand, but don’t wanna spend the money on the expensive one - this is it. It’s actually pretty sharp and seems durable. The sheath fitment is pretty damn good. Mine clicks in and holds the blade securely, but is easily deployed with the correct angle. The belt clip definitely leaves a bit to be desired.
