2015 Spyderco fixed blade P'kal

[Wondering Beard]

Are we talking about this Spyderco: http://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details.php?product=914 ?

I ask because, it's set up to be edge in as well as edge out.

[Irelander]

That's the one. It does sound pretty versatile.

Should have 300 more CPs end of April.

Seems to be the magic number

From the page:

"The defining characteristic of the Reverse is its unique reversible handle that allows the orientation of the blade’s edge to be changed from Douglas’ preferred edge-in orientation to Janich’s edge-out style while maintaining the same highly evolved handle ergonomics. The handle consists of two textured G-10 scales machined to create a hollow cavity for the blade tang. Removing the three bolts in the handle with a Torx® T-8 wrench (included) allows the scales to be easily removed and mounted to the tang with the blade’s edge in either orientation."

It doesn't sound as solid as a regular fixed blade knife.

Uuuhhhh it's pretty solid man.

I'll take your word for it as you know know this design inside out.

I guess I liked the idea of a full tang fixed Pikal from Spyderco.

I think it is still full tang; just the scales can be reversed to face the other way.

Looks nice but at 7.74 in length seems like it would be hard to carry concealed comfortably.

My current fixed blade P'kal is 7" and works great in its kydex pocket sheath. Another 3/4" (+1/2" blade, +1/4" handle) shouldn't be a problem.

These guys claim they will be in stock tomorrow. Price is good too...
