Are karambits actually useful or just a meme?

100% meme

useful if you know what you're doing
therefore useless for 99% of people

They are useful for when you want to pretend you're a raptor as you open up boxes of shit

or if you're some type of highly trained flip kali master I suppose it has its uses

>inb4 pretending to be a raptor is useless

ugly as sin

What the fuck are they even used for?

>>31919319
How are they actually designed to be used? They always screamed mall ninja to me, but they must have been particularly useful for something

Filipino martial arts. A couple other SE Asia martial arts also.

It's useful as a utility knife since it was originally a harvesting tool.

As a weapon it's best used by a boxer.

doubtful
honestly the karambit's a niche weapon that requires too much specialized training. You give a boxer a punch knife or similar design and they will take people apart.

>>31919814
I feel a boxer would be served better by spiked/bladed knuckles because he wouldn't particularly get anything out of having a karambit (yeah, it has a blade, but he isn't punching with the idea that "I have a blade protruding from the bottom of my hand now").

>harvesting tool
no wonder why the "finger ring" thing is here then, i keep doing gardening stuff with a normal knife and i just handle it in reverse when i do other shit with both hands like knotting a bundle of wood or something,
i could just put it down but by habit i just keep my knife upside down in my hand while doing other manual shit
