SWZ18: ST Vandal Karambit
Schwartz Tactical Knives

The ST Vandal Karambit marries ultra light Schwartz Tactical manufacturing methods with the popular karambit blade style. The Schwartz Tactical Carbon Fiber Titanium Karambit features a Carbon Fiber laminate with a full titanium core. Since titanium is softer than steel, the Carbon Fiber Titanium Vengeance Karambit's 2.75 inch cutting edge features a thin layer of tungsten carbide to reinforce the titanium cutting edge for better edge retention. It is a perfect fit for a lighweight tactical and non-detectable self-defense fighting knife. The Carbon fiber and titanium construction measures 6.0 inches from blade tip to the center of the 1.0 inch diameter finger ring and 6.5 inches overall. The handle is wrapped in 550 paracord and the Holstex sheath is molded specifically to the blade for an excellent fit. This lightweight karambit weighs in at a mere 1.8 ounces and 2.6 oz. including the sheath.

The ST Vandal brings aggressive styling to the Schwartz Tactical line of karambits. The double edged carbon fiber and titanium blade features serrations on one edge. It measures 6 inches from blade tip to the center of the 1 inch diameter finger ring. The handle is wrapped in 550 paracord and the Holstex material sheath is molded specifically to the blade for a secure fit. The blade is sharpened on both sides and a layer of tungsten carbide is applied to the 2.75 inch blade to reinforce the titanium cutting edge.

The knife is beautifully designed, strong, and light. It fits well in my hand, and is comfortable; the knife also fits very well into the kydex sheath, I've even practiced flipping with the sheath on (although that may not be recommended). As the previous review states, there are some grip serrations on the ring which may scratch your middle finger when flipping to an extended grip, but that's no biggy. I'm just slightly confused as to why it is advertised as "non-detectable" when it is a full titanium blade, which I believe may be detectable by metal detectors. Other than that, the blade is just about perfect, and mailing time was very quick.

I use it as a EDC knife, it has superb cutting potential. Awesome weapon for self-defense.
It's very light,sharp and fits well in my big hand. Only con I've noticed is the ring serration which can scratch your fingers while spinning the knife. But that's nothing serious.
