The Indonesian Karambit by JW SteelCrafts is a handcrafted folding take on one of Southeast Asia's most distinctive blade shapes. It features the signature inward-curved blade and a finger ring for a secure, controlled hold, in a compact folding design that is easy to carry. Rooted in traditional craftsmanship, it works as a capable utility tool and a standout collector's piece.
This knife suits martial arts practitioners, collectors, and outdoor users who want something genuinely different. Because each knife is hand-forged, small differences in finish give every piece its own character.
The karambit originated in the islands of Indonesia, where it began as an agricultural tool with a curved blade inspired by the claw of a big cat. Farmers used the hooked shape for harvesting and fieldwork, while the finger ring kept the tool secure in the hand. The karambit became closely tied to the Indonesian martial art of silat, which spread its use and refined its technique across the region. Folding versions later made the design easier to carry. This handmade Indonesian karambit honors that heritage, pairing the traditional curved profile and finger ring with a practical folding build.

Lightweight and True to Size — Best for Casual Use
Size: 9.5, Color: Navy, Size: 9.5, Color: Navy
It is nice to see the Amazon Essentials brand expand from household essentials to apparel and shoes.
I ordered the Amazon Essentials Men's Lightweight Knit Running Sneakers. The product is made in Vietnam and comes in a shoe box, which is nice. I've noticed that quite often, inexpensive shoes are delivered just in a plastic bag. The sneakers are ready to use and have no odors from glue, organic solvents, etc., which is common nowadays.
I wear a size 9W or 9.5. These sneakers are 9.5 and feel like a typical 9.5 size, without surprises. The product is advertised as lightweight, and it is true. Each shoe weighs below 0.6 lb (265 grams). Inside is soft memory foam; the shoes sit on the foot well, snug enough and comfortable, and are easy to put on and take off.
They seem like a good fit for spring and summer as casual footwear or for light gym use. The sole is simple and not designed for performance or high-impact activities. Overall, a solid, reasonably priced, comfortable everyday option, though not intended for serious running or training.

Budget buy while being as comfy and stylish as an expensive brand!
Size: 9.5, Color: Navy, Size: 9.5, Color: Navy
My 14 year old had been running his own business since he was 12. He does lawn care and snow removal. His go to shoes when it's too hot for his work boots has always been off brand hey d*de style ones which are terrible for that kind of work as they just don't have the ankle support.
He's also had some Orthopedic arch supports custom made for him through the DR in the last year that he needs to use in whatever shoes he's wearing at the time. So I've been on the search for a simple pair of slip on shoes that he could wear while working long hours around our community.
He's sent me this picture tonight before heading out. He said "I didn't feel like putting my arch supports in and these are so comfy that I don't even notice I don't have them!"
They are sharp looking shoes that really stand out as of they were A high end pair! It's great that they can be an every day style or could be more of a sport shoe as they have the support and padding for both options.
In our case they likely be green with in a day or two and it'll be interesting to see how well they wipe off between his work days. I can update this review once he's worn them a bit more.
For now they have been perfect for versatility, size was true to size (I did order 1/2 size up, but only did that because he's growing so fast!) and they are definitely a great fit to a budget!!!!
