Hi all!
I'm gearing up to start my next project, and have planned to try a karambit-style handle, with a more conventional style of blade (either a drop point or modified wharncliffe). May also make it reverse-edged. For a long time I've itched to have a reverse-edged knife with a karambit style hole!
I've noticed that some makers here have experience grinding karambits of various designs. How did you go about designing the handle to fit your hand? CAD? Or from a basic template, followed by a grind-as-you-go approach?
Any inspiration is much appreciated!
Dave
