Never heard of 'em.
Honestly I don't see anything even remotely appealing to me. However, that's my taste. NOT yours.
So you keep on liking what you like.

I like those kbits...
Uh, the blade looks like it is the wrong way around in those first two pics (I like it too minus the cross) - wtf? I guess you are supposed to use it like a karambit blade? Seems kinda dumb but I'm no knife "fighter". Lazy chainring nut on the pivot.
Looks like they make nice blades for the money if you like their style, the fixed blades I looked at were interesting - although the choil area confuses me on this knife:

Yea that's what a Pikal / P'Kal is. Defensive blade designed specifically for reverse grip edge out.

I don't actually see any "in stock" sales for these and zero reviews . Lots of scams from Thailand , so proceed with caution . Their website is almost too well done but lists zero in stock . Knives look nice but derivative , not that I care about that .
Ok, figured it was something like that Cereal - still looks weird as F to me 
Their web guy needs to do a little more work there... because this gem of advertising from their web site template service is right there on the front page (along with a ton of other webpage template garbage):
"A powerful, content switchblade extension with multiple default layout modes and various theme variants, alongside its custom administrative interface. RokSprocket therefore, provides a quick and easy solution in delivering sophisticated content structures, with efficiency and style."
Hell yeah, switchblade baby. Err, what?

That's their special Templar Crusader Pikal !I recently came across these knives from a company I never heard of, Tora Tactical, anyone have any experience with them? They are quite beautiful. (Not loving the cross on the thumb "stud") They seem to be out of Thailand.
(Love this Pikal folder)

From what I see they are like many other custom makers in that they have nothing in stock on their website. The knives seem to go straight to auction sites.

I stumbled across this on instagram some a week ago. The cross turned me off to the point that I didn't follow up. Looks like you might be able to wave it off the thumb disc though..

Maybe if they are custom knives he can do a Jewish star for me instead of a cross for me?

I know right? I always wondered why we don't see more ringed knives.

if you like the aesthetic of the Tora pikal, check this out:https://www.knifecenter.com/item/VP...tin-n690co-recurved-blade-carbon-fiber-handle
It's a linerlock (but thick enough), and the inward edge isn't factory sharpened. But the fit and finish is top notch. Bearing flipper (if you're into that) and very waveable.
