A knife is only useful for defense if you know how to use it properly. To develop your skills, you need the right training equipment. The P'Kal Trainer is designed for training purposes and is identical to the live-blade P'Kal in terms of mechanics. It features a high-strength Ball Bearing Lock and a removable post-style Emerson Opening feature. However, the blade of the trainer is blunted and the point is rounded to ensure safe contact with a training partner. The blade is made of 440C stainless steel and has multiple holes to make it comparable in weight to the live version. The bright red G-10 handles clearly indicate that it is a training tool. Just like the live-blade P'Kal, the trainer includes a reversible wire clip that can be configured for any tip-up carry position. This allows you to seamlessly integrate all phases of your training, including carry, deployment, and contact tactics.
