My first knife made of fiberglass - hot or not?

First the knife itself:
Packed the Karambit is in a cardboard box with a plastic bag zugetackerten. The workmanship is neat and it makes a solid impression. For this it is exceptionally light in weight.
Traditionally a Karambit is designed so that you can keep up with the blade up and down the knife in his hand alike. This one is but geared more towards the front by its ergonomic finger grooves. In addition, depending on the handle end of a disturbing keyring (?), Which can not be removed undamaged.

Now for suitability:
Who would have also presented other, the properties of the fiberglass blade are hardly comparable with those of a steel blade. When new, it is not very sharp. What I've done so mostly, was the opening of letters. If the paper was slightly stronger, which could be a rather clunky affair. A box I get to address it only with much effort. As sharp as the blade leaves a maximum grind, I have not tried yet. Perhaps would be even more possible, but can already be seen now unsightly fraying at the cutting edge of what I conclude on the lack of hardness. The edge-on that is certainly not a good sign.

Conclusion:
Although the Nightshade series is a nice try by Cold Steel, but she could really convince me not unfortunately. From collectables purpose apart, in addition to the weight savings and better weather resistance more than the price difference between fiberglass and steel blade would be a reason to buy (cf.. Steel Tiger), otherwise I see no further advantage in it. Certainly played in developing this Karambits also the aspect of self-defense, a role, but the disadvantages outweigh yet very strong. In my view, it is only limited fit for use.
