Yes, another Pikal! Ban hit it out the park with the Ti Lagriffe Pikal. When I first saw this design, I was instantly in love, but originally held back because I already have two of his pikals. But the super light weight and zero maintenance was all I needed to snag another Pikal. ;)

This is going to be my EDC for the gym, beach, shower (haha), and anywhere else that involves water.

Very nice carbide, hamon-style edge.

Very secure thanks to the finger hole grip. Feels like an extension of my hand. If only adamantium steel existed, then Wolverine from X-men would have nothing on me. :p

Lagriffe, 2nd gen, and 1st gen.

1st gen with awesome sweeping plunge. As far as I'm aware, there's only two knives with this style grind, this one and Ban's personal pikal.

2nd gen beauty shot.

Logo shot. Not sure if everybody knows this, but the "BANTANG" logo is an ambigram, doesn't matter if you look at it right side up or upside down. :thumbup:

Thanks again, Ban! Exceptional work as usual! NOW I'm ready for a Santoku and BT4. :D

well, i'll be damned. never knew that about his logo. got two of them (with a third in the works - that clip point BT6) and never realized it.

nice pikals. cool to see the style evolution. and you must work out in a rough gym :)

I think a lot of people don't realize until it's pointed out, I don't think I would have noticed right away either if Ban didn't point it out for me.

Hahah, thanks everyone.
