Review: -Mommy, can I have an Exo-K? --But we have an Exo-K at home! - Seriously, this thing came up when I searched for the Reate Exo-K on desertcart. I’ve always found it interesting how desertcart allows a bunch of cheap clones of knives that “might not be legal” in all states but not the pricey originals. Well, this knife is definitely not an Exo-K clone but is very similar “in spirit”. I’m guessing that it must be a clone of an older model expensive folding karambit. I can see this version sold by at least one other “cheap knife” brand on desertcart. How is it? Well, the build quality is solid. Everything is machined and milled rather well. The scales are held in place by T6 screws, while the pivots and some other moving part junctions are T8. The pocket clip is reversible for left side or reverse grip ready carry. Overall, the fit and finish are solid, and everything is put together well. Can’t really pick on anything specific, especially considering the price. The hawksbill blade is made from Chinese 7Cr17MoV stainless steel. It is definitely a budget steel but is perfectly fine for a knife like this. Honestly, people get too hung up on fancy knife steels. I have a “gas station” karambit that I’ve been using to cut up cardboard for half a year straight and it’s still sharp. That one only has the supposedly lowly 3Cr17MoV! Unfortunately, this NedFoss knife came as the dullest karambit I’ve ever bought, which is disappointing. It definitely doesn’t slice paper like the one in the product listing video! I mean, it will still do “the job” but I like my karambits to also be able to do the regular everyday cutting stuff well. I think that I will keep this blade dull while I get used to handling and deployment and then will try to sharpen it using a ceramic rod. Speaking of deployment, the best feature of this knife is obviously it’s unique action which provides for rapid deployment, as well as some fun fidgeting. It is undeniably fun and “cool” and works rather well. The pinky in the ring, blade edge down deployment is pretty much seamless – press the button, do a little wrist flick, close remaining fingers around the handle and you’re ready to go. On the other hand, the “reverse grip” (index finger in the ring, edge up) deployment, which is how you’re supposed to use a karambit for defensive purposes, took some tweaking and practice to get right for me. When I first started, I tended to leave the button pressed when flicking my wrist, which caused the locking lug to bounce back. I had to train myself to let go of the button and then flick. It became easier after I smoothed things out via oiling and break in, as well as adjusted both pivots to have an equal amount of tension. At this point, I can quick deploy and lock in reverse grip nearly every time and even when it fails, a second wrist flick always completes it. So, if you’re not having too much luck quick deploying this blade smoothly at first, don’t get discouraged. Also, the plunger lock button is positioned and designed well. I never had it pushe and release the lug without intent. I do wish that there was a way to lock the blade folded one-handed, but you always need the other hand to rotate the spring-tensioned locking lug towards the plunge lock. That’s the only disappointing thing about the action on this knife. I do wonder about how this knife will hold up over time with so many moving parts. The product listing doesn’t mention anything about the good ole Ned providing any warranty. 😊 Other than the distinct hawksbill blade, the main attribute of any karambit knife is the finger ring. It is crucial that it’s implemented correctly and many cheap karambits get it wrong. Unfortunately, this brings me to my biggest issues with this knife. First, the ring diameter is narrower than it needs to be. It fits my fingers but not in the most comfortable way. Plus, I have well-proportioned fingers. If you suffer from “fat fingers”, this karambit is probably not for you. Also, while the inside edges of the ring are not “sharp” per se, they are sharp enough to bite into your finger when doing quick-deployment drills and karambit tricks. It’s not slicing through my skin or anything like that but is causing noticeable discomfort. It definitely needs to come more knocked down/rounded. Luckily, it’s not anything that a dremel with a metal polish bit won’t fix but this should’ve been done at the factory! Overall, despite some rough edges with the design and implementation, this is a heck of a fun knife for the money! In fact, the price is so good that I’m not even going to take a star off for the flaws.
Review: Amazing little blade - I have repurchased this style of knife several times over the years. While this seller is new to me, it’s excellent quality for the price and I use it just about it everyday at work to cut open boxes. It’s just the right size and it’s fun to use as well. I hope they never stop making it because I love this knife!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can it be opened left handed with one hand?**
A: Yes, but you must know a little skill.

**Q: Has anyone used this knife to cut hay strings/netting on large hay bales for livestock?**
A: It would probably work for that. It's kind of a novelty knife. Half karambit half butterfly knife. It has decent construction. Is a fairly solid piece. If you're looking for one handed, a regular butterfly knife or an automatic would probably work better. But it is fun to flip around once you get the hang of it.

**Q: Where is it made**
A: Unknown, not stamped on knife. Threw box away. My guess would be China.

**Q: Is it easy to deploy this knif from your pocket to the ready position using one hand? And is the clip reversable**
A: Yes it has a reversible clip but it reverses sides not top/bottom but I don't think "tip up" vs "tip down" really matters with this design... It is possible to deploy one handed but it takes finesse and a little practice. I'll try my best to explain how I do it haha. From my back pocket I have the clip oriented so the unlock button is facing away from the body and on the side of the knife that matches your strong hand (Im right handed so button is on right side). To draw/open the knife hook your pinky finger through the ring and pinch only the button half on the knife between your thumb and your remaining fingers (pinky still hooked through ring for stability) Depress the button (i do it with my middle finger) and gently flick the other handle open while simultaneously releasing the button. Once the other half is mostly in the open position, release your grip and re-grip the knife squeezing it so it locks. Dont try to this fast or forcibly because the locking luck will probably flip around and smack into your finger pretty hard. Still havent figured out how to safely close it one handed lol.

If you use left handed clip will not reverse, great knife but made to carry it on your right side.
