Where to find P'kal type fixed blades?

Spyderco Reverse is a fixed blade version. Less than C note, comes with a sheath.
 
Buy a Schrade Sharpfinger and have the spine reground to a sharp edge. You'll still need to buy a sheath, but ergonomically it's bang-on for Pikal. Double edges usually aren't, though.
 
Ban Tang and Tom Halloran, and Joe Watson all make some nice ones. I am not sure if they are double edged or not, but they probably could make you one that way.
 
I make custom Pikal. Double edge is doable.

Ban has a forum here, but hasn't been super active here lately. Really great dude and does one of the sharpest edges I've ever had the pleasure of using. I know his books are open right now too...
 
I do them now and again too.

Although a standard shortblade with the right grip style will do pakal, reverse grip and forward grip and not call so much attention to itself.

the spyderco reverse really looks like a great deal for the price.

i also have the spyderco pkal folder and i think its one of the most underrated spydercos.
 
I forgot that Goldsworthy Knives also does Pikal knives (misspelled as Pakal), but I don't know if he does them double-edged. There are no pics on his site, but here's the one he did for me (they wouldn't post as images):

I also forgot that Charlie Mike did my Sharpfinger Pikal mods, and very well, too!

Spyderco's Pikal folder and the Reverse are likely a best bet. Goldsworthy is a great to talk to man.

Dirk Pinkerton makes some great stuff, pinkertonknives.com
 
I have the Spyderco p'kal folder and it's da bomb! It is extremely sharp, easy to learn how to open and has no disadvantage when compared to a fixed blade. Price has dropped to $150 as well!
