The Viper (Reverse / Pikal)


OVERVIEW
The Viper is designed for The Pikal method which is a reverse-edge knife-fighting technique rooted in Filipino Martial arts (FMA), specifically the Pekiti-Tirsia Kali system, where the blade is gripped in an icepick (reverse) orientation with the cutting edge facing the wielder to facilitate powerful pulling, ripping and thrusting motions.
ERGONOMIC DESIGN AND GRIP OPTIONS
The Viper is equipped with a double-edges blade measuring between 3.75 and 4 inches, engineered to deliver reliable cuts and thrusts for optimal performance. Its ergonomic handle is designed to facilitate a firm and comfortable grip. The handle's contours enable the user's thumb to maneuver over the "punyo," or butt of the knife, providing enhanced stability and control, thereby improving safety during operation.
SHEATH OPTIONS and CARRY METHODS
The Viper offers a variety of sheath options designed to accomodate diverse carry preferences and needs. Users can select from several attachment solutions, including a static cord for secure and adjustable positioning, an Ulti-Clip that allows for discreet and reliable fastening to clothing or gear, and a 90-degree belt clip that provides flexibility in mounting orientation for ease of access.
MEASUREMENT STANDARDS
Blade length is measured from hilt to the tip. This ensures consistency and clarity in determining legal compliance for knife owners from state to state.
