Where Scorpions came from

[J W Bensinger]

In case anybody wondered where the scorpion came from.
Anybody (Kronk????) know what the Filipino name for it is???

Interesting. I always kind of figured based on your fighting skills that the knife was a version of a Pakal Knife, a variation of which is used for Escrima and is designed to be held backhanded, which is known as Pakal style to them. I have seen some of those knives that are slightly similar, so now that I see the original inspiration I see how much different it is from the pakals I thought were similar.

Looks like the complementary piece of steel they had left over when they cut out a Khukri. Hey what the heck lets use this piece too! Put a handle on it bro and see what we can do with it

A bit of a resemblance to the Spyderco Civilian as well, but without the serrations that turn me off of it.
