Subitus - Utility Knife Karambit

thingiverse

First a little explanation: Subitus means impromptu in Latin. Karambits are a type of Indonesian martial arts knife. Disclaimer: Karambits are **very** dangerous and (quality) utility knife blades are **razor sharp**. Even if you are an experienced karambit flipper be very careful as this is likely to flip differently, is differently balanced, and much lighter. **This may be illegal to carry in some countries. Ask your guardian for permission before printing if under 18 years old.** This karambit is designed to be as lightweight and minimalist as possible and requires only superglue and a single utility knife blade to assemble. It features a hexagon textured handle for improved grip and aesthetic, an ergonomic unibody design, and a large ring for easier spinning and thumb use. As the cutting element it uses one standard 60mm utility knife blade available dirt cheap from any hardware store. A sheath is included as well and is specially designed to be no thicker than the knife handle it's self (a feature that I believe to be entirely unique) while still securely locking in place and being easy to remove one handed. It also has strap cutter notch and a slotted 7mm lanyard hole. update 1/15/22: Added pocketclip/belt clip that snaps onto sheath (glue on for permanent use). You can mirror the clip for left handed use or for in pocket carry (*recommended*). Update: 2/11/22. Evidently this model (and most others on the front page) are being scraped and sold on Etsy. (Not 3d print's just the models). This is liscencd as non commercial and I have not and will not give **anyone** permission to sell this 3d model. I *may* be willing to let someone sell prints of it under pre-determined terms with credit. Update 3/30/22: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1181202225/karimbit-utility-razor-knife This seller is selling prints of a remix with replaceable blade's. If you don't own a 3d printer and want one of these they may be a good option.
