Got a couple more not pictured and one got cut off on the last image. Oh, I also don’t discriminate between cheap, affordable and expensive or new vs old. I get what I like and could suit me.

Oh and that katana on the bottom is hand forged carbon steel that’s been sharpened like a razor. It will probably cut you in half.
If anyone wants to see one up close let me know.

Had to fix a couple of the images removing the engraved family name off my katana.
Made my day when I opened it up. Feels really good too, though I have no idea what the steel actually is yet. I sent them an email asking if the could supply that info, or if they could provide me the manufacturer so I could ask them that question myself.
Could be Robert. I know it came from Florida and the previous owner thought it was old, claiming Spanish Colonial but with no provenance I got it for a steal. The faint file marks on the blade give a clue to its age. The file cuts are not equidistant, so that suggests a handmade file. I figured I would bounce it off you guys here. There’s always someone out there that knows more than me!
SAK67, the blade is 15 1/2”, OAL is 21”. Very small handle. At least for my hands anyway. I got it bundled with a desk and other stuff. Couldn’t pass it up even if it’s not an honest piece because of everything else that came with it.
Depends on whether it’s folding or fixed, single or double edged, for a chest rig or daily carry, budget or price no object, etc. The FOX brand of karambits are very popular. You might like:
