Spyderco P’Kal, model # C103GP. Meaning
“to rip” in the Philippines’ Visayan dialect, “pikal” is a devastatingly
effective system of Filipino martial arts tactics. It is also the inspiration
for the Spyderco P’Kal folding knife, which was designed in collaboration with
noted self-defense expert Craig Douglas, aka “Southnarc.” The P’Kal’s PlainEdge
blade is full-flat ground from CPM S30V stainless steel and features
a slightly curved edge for impressive cutting power. A removable post-style
Emerson Opening feature provides amazingly fast one-handed blade opening by
hooking on the pocket during the draw. It can also be opened manually with the
Trademark Round Hole. As a “reverse-edge” tool, the P’Kal’s handle is
ergonomically designed to be held with the sharpened edge facing inward toward
the user to facilitate powerful pulling cuts. The handle’s skeletonized full
stainless steel liners are capped by textured black G-10 laminate scales and
house Spyderco’s patented Ball Bearing Lock—an extremely strong lock mechanism
that is also completely ambidextrous. To support all appropriate carry and
deployment methods, the P’Kal also features a reversible steel wire clip that
provides tip-up, edge-forward and edge-back carry on both the left and right
sides. Blade length is 2.95”, overall length is 7.35”. This knife is brand new
and comes in the original box. It would
make a great addition to any collection, or a very capable every day user. MSRP
on the P’Kal is $370.00.
