Spyderco | P'Kal Trainer - Red
Spyderco | P'Kal Trainer - Red
Meaning “to rip” in the Philippines’ Visayan dialect, “pikal” is a devastatingly effective system of Filipino martial arts tactics. It is also the inspiration for the Spyderco P’Kal folding knife, which was designed in collaboration with noted self-defense expert Craig Douglas, aka “Southnarc.”
A defensive tool is useless without the skills to use it properly and effectively. And the best way to develop those skills is with proper training equipment. The P’Kal Trainer is mechanically identical to the live-blade P’Kal—including its high-strength Ball Bearing Lock™ and removable post-style Emerson Opening feature—but has a blunted edge and rounded point to allow safe contact with a training partner. The 440C stainless steel blade has multiple holes that make its weight very comparable to the live version and, along with its bright red G-10 handles, clearly identify it a training tool. Like the live-blade P’Kal, it includes a reversible wire clip that is fully configurable for any tip-up carry position, allowing you to integrate all phases of your training—carry, deployment, and contact tactics—into a seamless flow.
Care and Maintenance
Care and Maintenance
To keep your Spyderco knife performing at its best, clean the blade with warm soapy water and a soft cloth after use. For tougher grime, gently scrub with a soft toothbrush. If debris accumulates, use compressed air to clear the pivot and hard-to-reach areas. Ensure your knife is completely dry before applying a drop of lubricant to the pivot for smooth operation. Avoid disassembling your knife unless absolutely necessary, and always follow proper reassembly practices. Store your knife in a dry place and avoid prolonged contact with moisture.
