Hi DD, Is that a Shivworks Clinch-pick? What blade size are you thinking? I'm assuming you mean a folder? Have you seen or used our P'Kal? sal Yes a shivworks clinch pick I was thinking 2.25-2.5” blade with approximately a three inch handle . In a folder design...I have used the p'kal but it can be...

After some shivworks training with a clinch pick I really see the benefit of a very small knife in the grappling situations we were put into. Is there any possibility of a smaller version of the spyderco shivworks p'kal to be created so it is easier to deploy in these grappling situations. I alread...

Nothing will deploy faster. ;) https://i.ibb.co/J5Fdmrq/20210408-091754.jpg Agreed but carrying a folder in your pocket is exponentially more comfortable then a fixed blade, can be worn in certain environments without being looked down upon such as the office, and is legal in more places then a fix...

A Emerson waved catcherman Would be great, to minimize the thumb hole and deploy to action quicker

Edge retention on my PE salt is not that great

But it’s still the knife I carry almost everyday for the past 5 years because of everything that Evil mentioned above

I’m always extremely impressed with the slicing capabilities and ease of penetration of a filet knife

So I prefer knives thin and narrow. Unfortunately there are not a lot of spyderco's like that

Forgive me for being naive, but what position exactly is reverse grip edge in? Pointy side towards your pinky sharp edge side facing your body. OP if I can add my 2 cents, although I do not know your exact circumstances nor should I assume them, in general I'd say if you are really concerned about ...

Thanks for the input guys. The more I practice it seems fixed blade is the way to go. But I wear a suit every day and sometimes workout shorts during weekend activities. Both are not really conducive to fixed blades. The waved knife seems the best solution for a folder. But sometimes in fast deploym...

A Spyderco? I dont think there are many Spydercos that open with inertia. I suppose the Autonomy 2 could be the closest thing, and that the reverse grip both edge in and edge out seem usable. I also have the Lil Temperance, I can agree that it is one of the better ones to use edge in. The thing is ...

Thanks for the input on wave add on accessories, but like I said. I’m currently using a delica wave

But what I was really looking for was a knife that would easily open by inertia in reverse grip

over Twenty years ago I had a very hard time buying a non USA made knife. But I saw a knife that fit so well in my hand, loved the ease of opening,small size but big blade, light, quality materials, aesthetically pleasing, etc. etc. etc. That knife was a Spyderco Dragonfly. I learned an important le...

Currently using a spyderco delica emerson opener with the clip reversed so I can deploy the blade reverse grip edge in, similar in fashion how Craig Douglas deploys the Spyderco P'kal. The Emerson opener works well However, are there any other deployment methods that would work well with RGEI on fol...

I always wanted to see a full edge delica as well. Eliminate the Ricasso like what is done in the centofante 3

I think adding a finger choil is a mistake in the delica lineup..it’s one of the few spyderco knives that doesn’t have a choil. I prefer all my fingers on the handle but close to the blade

Maybe Janich and Douglas can create a new grappling program involving MBC.

Using a smaller more edc friendly version of the reverse

Shivworks developed one, the CLINCH PITCH

Yeah, but it’s not reversible or a spyderco

VG 10 knives are being made in PRC now. It's advertised as Vg 10 anyways. Joe Also: What is to stop non-Japanese companies from reverse engineering VG10 and H1 steel's basic formula and either changing it a bit or making their own batches of it? Absolutely nothing, but many consumers prefer to have...

It’s called property rights. The manufacturer can utilize its products in any way they desire

If they choose poorly the market will correct them. But honestly it might not be a bad marketing decision since knives and steels are mostly a commodity item

Small blades are accessed under extreme duress, in disadvantaged positions -- like grounded grapple. Confined spaces like cars and cluttered rooms that limit mobility and escape options. Targeting specific body areas while in a grounded grapple is not easy. Thus, point driven in and ripping out wit...

Thanx Mike. Some more history: When I began working with Craig on the P'Kal, his description of the situation was graphic; "I'm working undercover narcotics. This 350 guy is 3 feet away, all coked up, and coming in for the attack. I can't get to a firearm. I have my Disciple fixed blade on my ...
