Well, it's been a month/ weeks since the last post. I've been working remote (Kauai). thanx to Peter and Roque, I've got a P'Kal with a 2.25" blade. I know it's a "nasty" piece, but I think it looks "cute". I'll bring it to the Blade show.

Hi Blue,
Haven't spoken to Craig about it. He may have see the thread, but didn't comment tome. I'm pretty sure Mike saw the proto at the Blade Show. He doesn't miss much.We should probably reach out to Craig and get his thoughts?
Hi Twinboys...
P'Kal's are not big sellers. We keep them in the line because of their function for our undercover guys. We do that with a few models.

I'm a big fan of the P'kal, but that thread from the Spyderco forum made me start to think wild thoughts about the waved dragonfly. Could such a puny little knife actually have some potential as a tactical tool?
Sometimes it's the cute little dog that bites
A smaller p'kai sounds interesting, enough that I accidentally played with some leftover Spyderco parts.
I bought one recently as I had been carrying a Dragonfly Salt as a money clip/ general utility folder, carried loose in the pocket. I thought that the wave would make it better. I abandoned the experiment after a week. In the future if I need a sub 3" folder I'll just use one of my Delicas that have been cut down. The handle length makes all the difference in the world and for my hand size/lifestyle/location anything smaller than a Delica is just too much of a compromise.
Related note: There is also a Subway Bowie (smaller than street Bowie and based on Fred Perrin design) allegedly in the works.
This is the original. Made for me by Fred Perrin while I was visiting with him in Paris. I didn't know he was making it, and he surprised me with it one day when we were out and about. I named it "Le Metro" at the time in honor of the Parisian subway system.
