The Venom will sharpen easily and well, all while taking a beating during hard work and tasks. The paracord wrapped handle provides excellent grip in all environments and is easily replaced in the field. Not to mention, having a bit of extra paracord around makes any situation automatically more survivable! All jokes aside, when you need a little extra protection on your side, give the Serpent karambit some consideration. It works hard, works well, and when shit hits the fan, is designed to protect you from harm.
