Because of its specialized format, training in Pikal is essential.  this non-sharpened blade lets you practice drills, motions and sparing.  the Red G-10 handle denotes it’s a trainer that mirrors the live knife in size, balance and proportion. In the Philippine Visayan dialect, the literal translation of the word Pikal means to rip. In the U.S. The term Pikal remains relatively new but a company called Shivworks is making headway in its introduction to the American market. Its English definition is twofold: it is a rising martial arts genre and the name of a Spyderco knife designed to accompany this art form. As a self-defense platform, Pikal is carried out holding a knife in reverse grip with the sharpened edge facing inward toward the user. Pikal’s objective is not flowing drills with your opponent but rapidly and effectively striking and surprising. The Spyderco C103 P’Kal, offers features specific to this activity but these same features also translate well for everyday carry. T
