The Jank Shank Pikal blade pays homage to an iconic shape and the history behind it! Though this blade has been around for centuries, it is still produced by hundreds of makers and is utilized in martial arts and self-defense courses around the world.
The Pikal blade traces its roots back to the Philippines as an agricultural and working blade. The word Pikal can be translated to rip,'' and due to its shape, that may be obvious. As Tribal fighting arts developed, the Pikal became a very popular weapon because of its distinct reverse grip where the blade is facing the user. More recently, several weapons and close combat instructors have taught the use of reverse edged blade tactics in close quarters situations.
Our 2024 Jank Shank Pikal features the exact same handle profile and ergonomics as our current Jank Shank. The razor-sharp straight edge of the blade has been flipped upside down for a simple solution to a reverse edge. The high saber grind leaves the blade with a full-face bevel, which further lightens the weight of the overall knife. Thumb jimping is added to both the front and rear of the spine of the blade for reference points when manipulating the knife and we finished the handle with an extremely aggressive APEX texturing pattern to prevent the hand from slipping.
PLEASE USE CAUTION WHEN DRAWING FROM THE SHEATH DUE TO THE REVERSE EDGE.
