W kabar, daggers, training with the polypropylene version of all of them as to not get cut a couple of metal practice nice as well I do have the metal training Karambit 599 model that just cost me a hundred fifty bucks LOL but I've been training with that model for a couple years focused on the clock system mainlyKarambit flailing is only as effective as the skill of the opponent you're facing. Against an unarmed, inexperienced guy on the street it is an excellent tactic. This is because they will be overwhelmed with the movement and unable to keep up with their bare hands. Against an armed, experienced guy on the street it is a terrible tactic. This is because they will be able to follow your movement, find openings, and strike with tier weapon. Somewhere in the middle of that spectrum is where the tactic becomes less effective. Karambit flailing is a quick way to become dangerous but not efficient. Do you train straight knives as well?
I have fallen in love with the Karambit and the dart knife but I marcaida due to the ring feature, and the Emerson wave for deployment, I can't imagine there being a better tactical everyday carry knife around. Just thought I'd change the subject LOLKarambit flailing is only as effective as the skill of the opponent you're facing.

I found out the hard way that the flail with this blade breaks the liner lock on the knife comes in towards your fingers have spoken to the makers they also acknowledge this problem so in essence the knife is trashNo matter how badly you throw a flail with a karambit, you are still hurl-whipping a sharp metal object.
Flail it while still folded. Probably just as skull-crackingly effective.I found out the hard way that the flail with this blade breaks the liner lock on the knife comes in towards your fingers have spoken to the makers they also acknowledge this problem so in essence the knife is trash

This is pretty much my view. Flailing is a less efficient movement imo. It looks cool and I think it can be useful in training for improving finger dexterity however as others said it is only useful against unskilled/unarmed opponents so I wouldn't use it in actual combat.Just don't flail. If a knife has to come out you are in a lethal encounter. If that is the case why would you do a maneuver with a knife that puts you at a momentary disadvantage? (ie. it is not in position to do what it is intended to do - cut) Not everything that looks cool is useful!
