During the last few months I have been working on a new design along with a few guys who call them self "shiveworks"...they approaced me with the idea of making a so called "Pikal" styled knife. This is my take on this.

While making a few protos I decided to make a persian version of the Pikal...same shape and size but with the edge on a more conventional spot :)

While I had it out I thought I wanted to show of my "background"..... WW2 US Carbine .30 cal. This rifle was dropped down with parashute over Denmark during the war to be used by freedomfighters.

Beautiful work, as usual -- how do you work those top ones? I'm a little confused. :D
 
I prefer the one with the edge in the more conventional position. That is a very functional looking little knife.
 
Beautiful carbine! Oh and I like the knives too, especially the Persian style.
 
thanks!...the intended way of using the pikal is by putting the indexfinger through the hole with the edge facing in....icepick style...
 
Nice work Jens :)..., I'd like a little less "Persian".., but that's OK...lots of folks love that much arc...

Thanks!
 
The new version (as the ones above are only protos) will be straight edged.....I do like them persian though :0D
 
Jens,

Nice work. I don't like the idea of sticking my finger into holes in a blade, but I like the design of the top blades, even if it makes them somewhat less practical. It looks like you'd be able to cause a great deal of damage by drawing your guard back into position.

The Pikals above was the first prototyperun. I just sent this two revised designs of to the Shivworksguys. They are smaller and more concealable. Made from S30V, handrubbed! What do you think?

The Pikal is a nice CQC knife and is meant for just that. It is for tearing. Stab and pull and as you pull you open and enlarge the wound.

There is a good explanation on the shiveworks site http://www.shivworks.com/ It is a ongoing project with allot of great ideas from some great people

I have a matched set with one Pikal and one ground Persian and they fit so well in the hand you will think they were made for just your hand. The whole Pikal methodology is based on a fighting style and it would best be discribed by someone more familiar with it and one of the guys responsible for getting it back into the mainstream. Check out the site.
