Raptor Talon Karambit Knife, Carbon Fiber Claw, Pocket Fixed Blade, Tactical Combat Trainer Tool, No Cutting Edge, for Practice Training and Play (Carbon Fiber Marbling)

Fun fidget

Seems like an OK product haven’t used it on any one yet,to tell you if it really works like it’s design for or not, but I like the carbon fiber design seems very sturdy. Could be a little bit longer and then this thing would be awesome.

I'm so pleased with this little piece. So strong, with enough point at the end to make it very effective in self-defense. I'm a martial arts instructor, and appreciate tools like this that can easily be used in a non-lethal way. A weapon like this can be used by untrained people, just as an extension to one's fist, but in trained hands it adds significantly to any grappling, locking, or hand-striking techniques. Very low-profile, it just looks like a cool-looking fidget toy (and it's fun just to play with). Great little tool!

I like the product for what it is, an EDC that can go anywhere. The finger hole is a little small for my index finger but that is not a deal breaker. I may purchase more for family members.

It's great but it would be nice if it had a pocket clip and finger whole size options and it could be a little longer. But other than that I love it it is great.

This is a small non-metallic carbon fiber mini karambit style tool for joint manipulation and blunt striking. It features no live blade with subtle chamfers on corners to limit sharp edges.The marketing copy (at least at time of review) makes a point of emphasizing that this can be used as a training tool. But there is no live blade equivalent. From a personal standpoint I also prefer my trainers to be obviously trainers. But black blade trainers aren't without precedent.Quite noticeably there is no sheath, but the foam padding that ships with tool does have a cutout that looks suspiciously like a thin sheath. This tool could definitely be used defensively, but as someone with professional quality non-metallic blades designed by actual close protection professionals, I would feel a lot more comfortable using them then a cheap "carbon fiber" one without a sheath purchased on Amazon for about 25 bucks. The marketing also says this can be used as a fidget. As weird as it sounds I think that's actually a good suggestion. It is fun to spin around it's relatively affordable and can be used as a letter opener. Situations where the lack of a sheath wouldn't be a hindrance and steaks are non-existent.I think if you actually need a blunted non-metallic defense tool Black Triangle makes a significantly better one called the PCT. As well as a live blade equivalent, the PCT-L. Both of which feature custom fit entirely non-metallic sheaths that allow for a lot of carry options.Pictured is the product packaging, the inlet that could have finished a sheath, and size and design comparisons to whatever non-metallic blades I had in reach. Note that is not a pencil, that is a solid G-10 Spike. The live and trainer blade is from Black Triangle.
