Hard to decide which thread this one could go under.  Tacticals?  Schrade?  Globals?  I'll just dump in the Box Full of knives  I recently bought a "Super knife"  assisted opening Karambit.  I think the eBay seller "ZIX" called it the Big Mo Jungle karambit w/ tiger stripes.  Itlooks very much like the S&W  CK32C Extreme ops in the "Urban Camo"

(See Below)

left: Super knife, right, S&W

As you can see the camo is almost identical.  The S&W has writing on the blade. and lack the little thumb stud to aid in opening.  Both have the same hole design for opening

Same knives with the blades out.  S&W on the bottom.  The assisted opening does not have a safety so it could in theory flip open inyour pocket.

The S&W (top) is a frame lock. The pocket clip can easily be removed but not moved to a new position.  The Super knife (below) is a liner lock and the pocket clip cannot be removed without taking the knife apart.

Both have 440 blades, Both are made in China.  Both blades can be opened using the thumb hole.  THe S&W is very stiff however and is will require effort. 

  The S&W cannot be opened with the hand in the reverse grip, a common way to hold a Karambit.  Because the Super Knife is assissted you can easily open it in the reverse grip with the flick of your pinkie or small finger.:

The Super knife cost $11,   The S&W was bought on Amazon $13.50 (SMKW sells it for $22.

Both knives were razor sharp upon arrival.  The Super knife will probably loosen over time but it has been my experience that you can tighten them easily without the use of tool simply by squeezing the handle together and tightening the screw by hand. (Something to say about cheaply made.)

I think both knives look pretty cool and both are comfortable in the hand.  The S&W  feels more solid but is harder to deploy and cost more. I bought them to see if I'd like the karambit design.  I'm not looking at getting a decent fixed blade karambit.

Very good looking knife.  Sharp with good snap is nice but what is not quite up to par with it?

Has any one ever bought a Ruko? I understand that it is a Spanish company. I found this knife at a local farm and ranch store last year for about $3.00. It is not a great built knife, but it is sharp and has good snap. It is Chinese built.

Well Pat, a knife can be either too small or too big, it's up to the user to decide if it's one way or the other. I think a good camp or trail knife should be around 15". You can have alot of smaller knives for other chores. The old timers thought that your camp knife was the most important blade an outdoorsman could have.

I like those big knives, Pat. How long are they? My large blade that I use in the woods is 15".
