Titan Japanese Blade Fixed Knife 8in TJ-020, TJK-20

Absolutely beautiful piece of craftsmanship. I had been searching for a good karambit for a while now, this one made my short list and I had been eyeing it for quite a while. There was another cheaper one that I almost went with which was not double edged, the reviews weren’t as good either. I am so happy I decided to get this one from Titan International. The sheath holds the Karambit safe and securely. It is a bit of a bigger knife and will be noticeable on your hip. The Damascus is stunningly gorgeous. It’s not quite as sharp out of the box as I thought based on other reviews but is still quite sharp vs many other new knifes.

No delamination in steel. Fairly sharp. As others have mentioned, the sheelth is separated a bit at the throat area. Nothing a bit of urethane glue cant fix. Stitching appears solid. Well oiled and wrapped upon receipt. Indexing feels good (for my hands). Some sharp areas around the finger hole. Easy fix. For the money, this is a quality blade. Note that the organic nature of the leather shealth will absorb and retain moisture, and increase rusting if knife stored inside. Keep this blade well oiled to help prevent rust. Consider keeping it separate from the shealth to help reduce that componet. Worth the money

This product far exceeded my expectations for the price! The knife was shipped with care and arrived promptly. Both edges of the blade were sharp out of the box. The knife itself is sturdy and has a good weight to it. The genuine Damascus blade was beautiful with few imperfections. The smooth grip had perfectly flush brass inlay pins and the decorative spine of the grips was a great detail. I was impressed with the leather sheath that was included. It’s good quality leather and will last a good while. Only downside is the sheath limits where yo can position the blade. Overall extremely satisfied with my purchase!

Immediately the craftsmanship that went into this knife is apparent. It is sturdy, well oiled yet clean and any “flaw” as some reviews might mention only highlights the character of this handmade knife. The blade edge has a burr to it that can easily be taken off with a steel (kitchen knife sharpener) the sheath seems in good condition to, but it always takes time to see how those hold up. I do like that it comes with snap button straps, being that the reason I purchased this knife was after losing another high quality karambit knife at the beach when it slipped out of the sheath and I didn’t realize. Anyways hope this helps. I’ll edit the review if any problems come up later but as of opening box day I am completely happy!

Beautiful knife! VERY well constructed with an eye to detail and the edges are very sharp. As a knifesmith myself, I am VERY impressed with the quality of this blade and will definitely be adding more knives from this maker to my collection in the very near future.

I have had this knife for a couple months. It is a beautiful and very sharp knife. The edge grind is a little off center, but I can live with that for the cost. It is a great deal for the price. It is such a beautiful knife i have tried to not abuse it so haven't tested exactly how strong and tough it is and probably won't. I would definitely buy another knife from this seller.

After shopping around and seeing too many karambits with unnecessary add ons to design, I finally found one that is simple yet beautiful(the Damascus is a big plus) . No plastic, rubber or serrated teeth (that aren't functional). If your looking for a well crafted, sturdy blade, buy from Titan Intl!

Bought this as a gift for my wife and she loves it. A solid, well made blade and a sturdy sheath. Very nice looking and feels great in the hand. Great value for money, it really feels like a much more expensive blade.
