That's what I figured you were measuring however law enforcement considers the straight line measurement. The site does state 7.5 inches in the description and 8.5 in the summary specs. Either way you look at it, the 479 fits my hand perfectly.

i love my 479, but the 598 is legit the best fighting knife i own other than my cold steel push dagger, its basically the 599 in fixed blade version with a kick ass sheath. as a defense weapon id prefer the 598 b/c obviously you can do things with it you cant do with a folder like flail and impact with the top of the blade with no moving parts to fail..

Fox Knives does have a trainer karambit for the smaller knife. Just look on their site at all they have. As for pricing knives just look on sites like BladeHQ, GP Knives and Knifeworks and see what they have. Prices are fairly reasonable on their websites.

for 200 bucks, I would think it would be an automatic deploying knife straight from the pocket with a spring open. The claw supposedly draws the knife out when you pull it out of your pocket but theres a chance that it would tear into your pocket and get caught. Thats pretty much the only thing I dont like about the knife, but its still a great knife.

I'm way to impulsive. I did click on the link and is it safe to say that it's abt 50 bucks more. maybe the drop won't go through. I'll do some research and see what I can find for a price range. regardless great review and they should pay you. hell I'd throw you something. I've just been looking for that perfect tactical knife that's not going to absolutely kill my wallet. Regardless you're one hell off a salesman even when not trying. haha. you would be incredible and could make a significant amount of residual income for a referral. I'm not trying to sell you on anything at all, so that's all I'll say. thanks again and feel free to email me. I'd be happy to help you with anything at all. Take it easy. JR.

+Rick Andersohn My specs come directly from the manufacturer's website: www.theultimateknife.com/479-FOX-Karambit-G10-Folder-Fighting-Knife-Emerson-Wave-Size-XXL_p_17.html If you're measuring straight across from the tip to the ring you'll get roughly 7.5" HORIZONTAL however, as a karambit is curved, the length you're looking for goes along the whole knife in an arc. This length is 8.5" and is more relevant to the end user as the curved length is what your hand has to actually hold, not just the horizontal length.

I purchased a Fox Karambit knife (tanto blade) several months ago. My experience with the knife has been a disappointment and The Ultimate Knife online store, Fox's premiere sales organization in the US, was an even greater disappointment. Practically speaking, there is no warranty on the knife even though you are going to pay $130-150 for it. TUK's policy is that any damage to the knife of any kind voids the warranty. One millimeter of the tip of my knife flaked off while opening the internal cellophane wrapper on a loaf of bread. Yeah.. Cellophane broke the blade. TUK told me to have the blade reground, at my own expense of course, and I received a call from the owner. He made the mistake of telling me that I should not expect the quality of a $500-600 knife when I paid $140. Let's me honest. The fit and finish of the Fox knives are what you should expect from a $40-50 knife. Like many of you, I own a Gerber 06 automatic knife. I have put it through hell. The knife is designed to let you cut your way through the aluminum skin of a downed helo; so I tested the knife on the skin of a derelict Blackhawk. The Gerber worked as advertised. Nothing broke off. The knife is sharper today than it has ever been before even though it looks like it has been through a world war. If you must have a karambit, buy something other than a Fox knife. I like Doug Marcaido. He seems like a really sincere guy, but why in God's name would anyone have a knife made in Italy or anywhere in the European Union. That decision tripled the cost of the knife from the jump. Pick another knife is my recommendation.
