The design allows for three ways to open - with a flipper, thumb hole and quick pocket edge opening function. The compact size and well-thought-out geometry make the Rogue Pikal the ideal tool for those looking for reliability and style. Each element has been designed with durability and precision in mind, which sets this model apart from other karambits available on the market.

Karambit - a type of knife that originated in Indonesia, with roots in Malaysia and the Philippines. It is characterized by a finger ring and a sickle-shaped blade that is extremely effective at cutting. The hawkbill knife mimics the tearing action of an eagle's claw or a tiger's claw, piercing and cutting at the same time. It is used as a work knife and for defense.

14C28N - martensitic stainless chromium steel is the latest development in the range of knife steels produced by the Swedish steelworks Sandvik. The optimized chemical composition with a unique combination ensures the highest quality, excellent edge performance, high hardness and corrosion resistance. By reducing the carbon content to 0.62% (C) and increasing the chromium content to 14.0% (Cr), as well as adding nitrogen to 0.11% (N), the corrosion resistance has been significantly increased. Considered an improved version of 13C26. Unbeatable in terms of price/quality!

Vacuum & Cryogenic - 14C28N steel undergoes a specialized heat treatment process involving two key stages. Vacuum Heat Treatment - the steel is hardened in a vacuum environment, which minimizes oxidation and ensures more uniform metal properties. This process increases the strength and structural integrity of the steel. Cryogenic Treatment After heating, the steel is rapidly cooled to extremely low temperatures, often below -100°C (-148°F). This transformation changes the residual austenite into martensite, significantly increasing the hardness, wear resistance and overall durability. Thanks to these advanced processes, 14C28N steel ensures exceptional performance, offering both razor-sharp edge retention and extraordinary blade durability.

Blade - aggressive, Claw type. The rounded shape of the blade is characterized by its great effectiveness and cutting speed. Plain smooth blade with an aggressive tip and a strongly curved edge for maximum cutting results. Finished with a stonewashed look to cover up minor scratches caused by use, then coated with a black coating. The thumb jimping provides better control of the knife and has a quick-opening system that allows the knife to be drawn instantly with the blade already open. In addition, the knife can be opened using the hole in the blade or the flipper. Once opened, the flipper forms a mini-guard to prevent the hand from slipping onto the blade. The smooth opening is ensured by the ball bearings used. The whole is locked with the proven liner lock.

Handle - made of G10 composite, a material with extremely high mechanical strength and virtually complete resistance to weather conditions and chemicals, textured for improved grip. Forefinger groove at the front improves grip. The solid backspacer ends in a finger ring (Back Ring). It prevents the knife from accidentally slipping out of the hand and it also makes it easier to rotate the folder around the finger, enabling traditional techniques. The pivot axis is decorated with a stylized logo. The single-position (left) clip allows the knife to be carried in a tip-up position (tip up).
