P'Kal availability

Maybe you'll have better luck. I hope you do, hard to find these.

Just got it. Fast shipping. The box wasn't 100% mint condition, but the knife sure was. Blade is centered and looks good. Looks super clean and untouched.

Definitely will make the new owner happy.

Glad to hear it. Did it open and close smoothly? Mine wouldn't close one handed, and opening was ridiculously stiff.

The bad customer service is enough to keep me from buying from them, but it least it sounds like you got a good knife.

It opens fairly good. It opens without any stiffness or tension, so I think the mechanism works correctly, but I know that was a complaint about this knife, was not having the insanely smooth opening of something like a Yojimbo.

Granted, the person who is getting this as a gift will be using it as an EDC Defensive knife, so pretty sure 99% of the time will be using the wave feature to open it.

I have 2 P'kals and a trainer. 2 out of three are butter smooth. The other one could be a little smoother.

I haven't looked yet, but any guides on smoothing it up some?

I'd rather have the recipient not have to do a single thing to it.

Hi C0de,

Bumping an old thread but I just noticed that several reputable online sites have it listed as a preorder. Does that mean that I can expect it actually return? I thought the P'Kal was long discontinued

Batches are made every so often, so you should be able to get one eventually. I've seen Sal post on here before when they're in stock on sypderco.com. I have no idea how often they're made and how large the batches are, I'm sure someone will chime in though.
