There are a lot of reasons to carry a knife every day. From regular daily cutting tasks to pocket jewelry, to self-defense, and more. What an individual decides to carry is a deeply personal choice with many factors to consider–like local laws, permissiveness of the area, what clothing is going to be worn, etc.
The Papa Delta was designed by Leo Espinoza with input from a retired undercover police/intelligence officer. So the thought process is specifically for people who need to be able to wear the knife completely undetected. That is why it’s thin, skeletonized, and low profile in every aspect. The “incomplete” finger hole is purposely not closed off. The reason is so that the knife can be let go of more easily than a normal karambit where the ring is specifically there to retain the knife. It’s also double-edged with a fuller to make it as useful as possible for defensive purposes. The Midnight Bronze Cerakote looks great on the 1095 blade and the included Kydex sheath makes it a great neck carry. This knife will disappear under clothing, on a belt or in a pocket, but be there and ready when needed.
DISCLAIMER: It is incumbent upon the purchaser to be over 18 years of age and to check with local law enforcement personnel regarding legalities of double-edged weapons in his/her area. THIS IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.
