Description
ADVGBGR: Gaboon Karambit Fixed Blade, Green
Andre De Villiers Knives
The Gaboon is Andre's take on a karambit and it puts ergonomics at the forefront of its excellent design. It's modeled after the Ring Butcher but with a devastating hawkbill blade that will rip and tear through just about anything. Whether or not you decide to use the pinky ring, you'll have a superb grip thanks to the prominent finger grooves, small finger choil, and heavily contoured shape. Jimping on the thumb ramp in both the forward and reverse grips provide great traction and improve your ability to effectively wield this knife. It includes a friction fit Kydex sheath with dark brown leather accents and belt loop which we find both highly useful and quite aesthetically pleasing. If you're a fan of Andre's work and want the ultimate strength of a fixed blade in a CQC knife, you're gonna absolutely love the Gaboon.
