I brought my Karambit here from home. However, from what I understand they are illegal and so is carrying a knife but I really do not know. Can someone shed some light on this that truly knows?
Thanks
I found 2 shops at Tuol Tompoung that have wonderfully vicious knives including karambits.
A karambit set me back $25. The vendor would not bargain penny.
He keeps them in a box, not on display.

around the corner from him another stall run by a woman has some other varieties.

Now I am the proud owner of brand new karambit made by the loving hands old-world Thai craftsmen.

Opposite Garage bar I think, worth popping in for a burger and beer afterwards

I'm all about trench knives. I've only got one like this, but i'd like to collect some more just for fun :assasin:

Its 20 mins and about $2 from Riverside, live a little and take a ride.
You have to bargain hard to get $2.
I wouldn't know sir, I use passapp and grab so don't need to bargain with tuk tuk drivers. The fee is fixed in advance and it is $2 to Russian market from riverside. Yes of course if I chose to take one of the old school drivers off 136 I'd be charged $5-$9 which is why I don't use them

They have something similar at Tuol Tompoung: brass knuckles on a switchblade.

Now, if there were an experienced military man in PP who could give lessons on the fastest, most effective use of these angelic instruments, that would be perfect.

Thanks for this info.

Can you tell me where the military shops are located?
Any near Riverside?

Tuol Tompoung , st 163, looks like a long tuk-tuk ride from riverside

In the google photo, all I see is watches in the cabinets, but there is a section of the display case on the lower right that is blocked out. mmmm

is this the fun stuff?
go towards the jade then pan left and you can see loads of knives
