Indeed. Got great balance and with the full-tang, feels very solid.
I asked Mushtaq to make mine a hair shorter than the first one he did -- blade is 3.5 inches instead of 4 inches. It has advantages over a ringed kerambit, in that it can be a stabber and not just a slasher, and it is also better suited for around-the-house tasks. Not quite as secure in-hand as a kerambit with a forefinger through the ring, and no striking like you can do with the butt, but I like it.
Fun little knife, ain't it?
