Not really a drop, this is the standard price at various websites, some with free shipping.

MadDog443The tang is the metal part where the blade extends into the handle. A full tang knife has one solid piece of metal running from one end of the handle out the other which becomes the blade. A knife that isn't full tang has a metal nub that comes out of the blade and is then friction fit or screwed into the handle.
On a karambit, you frequently put a lot of force on the ring at the end of the handle. So if that ring is not connected to the blade by the tang, then something is likely to come flying off when the knife makes contact with something.

Boycott -- over priced and a rip off -- you can buy it cheaper on e-bay and they will send it to you direct anywhere in the world

Just received mine yesterday. Now I'm a real life counter strike player with a factory new karambit. Living the dream boys.

I hope nobody is actually getting one of these for the express purpose of self-defense. It's more likely to get you in trouble with law enforcement than out of trouble with attackers.
I learned a long time ago that if you're holding a knife in a fight and you aren't skilled in knife fighting, then that knife belongs to your opponent (NB 'skilled in knife fighting' does not mean having watched a lot of videos on YouTube ).
The best self-defense skill for most people is running really fast while screaming your lungs out. If you really must prepare for a knife fight though, I recommend attending classes on how to deal with knife attacks bare-handed, and practicing the shit out of those moves until they're muscle memory.
As a bonus, set up a shortcut on your phone to play "Beat It" at full volume, and hit it when the knives come out. There's a small chance it'll defuse the tension and cause everyone to break into dance, but if not, well then at least you died to an epic soundtrack.

WylliHm I think you have a choice as to how you train for such scenarios, and what you choose to carry about with you.
If you take self-defense classes and carry around a more low-profile self-defense tool like mustard spray, a rape siren or maybe even a robust umbrella or walking stick, I think that's more likely to have a better outcome than if you choose to carry around a karambit (especially if you don't know how to use it).
If you get into a knife fight armed with this thing, then you will find yourself fighting knife-to-knife, and as wonbul pointed out, even if you win, you're going to be cut up. On top of that, it's also likely that the other guy will be cut up worse. If you have caused serious injury or even death in the process, you might find yourself facing serious criminal charges.
In that case, this thing would seriously complicate your legal defense. You might find it difficult to convince a judge or jury that you were an innocent victim and not the aggressor when you were walking around armed like a goddamn velociraptor.
