Looks great, Mark. I admit I don't know much about pikals. Are they fighting knives, or a specialized utility knife?

Phillip,

Pikal knives are specialized tools meant for use in extreme close quarters type self defense situations. They are designed to be held blade down and edge in for maximizing damage by stabbing then ripping.

So the edge is on the opposite side of the index groove?

First time I see this.

Yep...except the groove is for your pinky instead of your index finger.
