In general, I would think the Ronin-2 is a bit on the large side for what I typically think of when I think pocket sheath fixed-blade. Thanks! Thanks. I should have been more clear in my earlier post. The P'kal was actually the first Spyderco I bought and I really did love it, but my preferences have changed a little bit over the years I suppose. Spyderco Counterfeits, Clones, Replicas, etc. MODIFIED Spyderco Yojimbo 2 Knife - ACID WASH - C85GP2 ***These knives have been modified by the KnivesPlus Team. Its blade is crafted from CPM® 20CV—a highly wear resistant, powder metallurgy stainless steel. They also encourage a thumb-forward … The clip is four-position, as opposed to the two-position clip of the original, which allows the knife to be carried right, left, tip up or tip down. The P’Kal is probably the most specialized of the knives you listed, at least when used in the manor it was designed. Das das P'Kal nun auch wieder im 2012 Programm angeboten wird, läßt darauf deuten, das es sich auch nicht um eine Eintagsfliege, sonder num ein gefragtes Modell bei Spyderco handelt. I have them both and I would tell you to go with the Yojimbo over the P'kal. This limited-edition Exclusive version of the Spyderco Yojimbo™ 2 was specially produced for JB Outman Distributing and is unique in several ways. If you arent comfortable defending yourself quickly in reverse grip then you might prefer the Yojimbo, but you'll need to train how you're gonna open it quickly. I'm looking for a dedicated self defense knife.My first choice was the Spyderco Civilian but the blade actually sticks out quite a bit as it's curved and makes carrying it in the pocket somewhat uncomfortable. Superb, It's Spyderco. I am interested in both the p’kal and Yojimbo 2 for a defensive knife when I don’t conceal carry. It almost has to be held in the icepick-blade-towards-yout grip. Designed by Michael Janich, the Spyderco Yojimbo2 is an evolved expression of the original Yojimbo knife featuring a unique Wharncliffe blade. Spyderco zavedl do seriové výroby mnoho funkcí, které jsou nyní běžné u zavíracích nožů téměř všech značek, jako je například kapesní klip, vroubky na hřbetu čepele. I enjoy these forums and wanted to get some facts on both knives. Both knives are solid, get whichever one you will have to think the least about using while under stress. The handle length is roughly the same as Spyderco’s very popular Delica model, which makes the Yojimbo 2 very compact and suitable for in-pocket carry if one chooses not to use the clip. I ultimately ended up with the Yojimbo 2, because of the wharncliffe blade for easier everyday use, size in pocket and the comp lock. I think the Yojimbo is more up my alley. Unless you plan on getting some real training with any of these knives, I would choose any knife that feels the most second nature to you to draw and open. Thanks everyone for the great advice. Crucible Steel Company’s proprietary powdered cutlery steel is one of the best knife steels on the market with its h… Not a custom but a nice knife nonetheless. P’kal vs. Yojimbo 2.

Yojimbo is a 1961 Japanese period film in which two feuding crime bosses attempt to hire a wandering samurai (ronin) who has arrived in their town. Spyderco’s current Yojimbo 2 is an improved version of the original Yojimbo, which debuted in… Thanks! It’s lightweight, opens fast and is super sharp. Thanks for taking time to reply. Gotta agree with Mr.Janich here...the Endura Emerson is a very balanced folder for all categories, from normal EDC use, to defensive scenarios. Re: P'Kal vs. Yojimbo vs. Chinook Post by jdw » Tue Nov 12, 2019 3:05 pm I love my Yojimbo as a utility knife and it has absolutely amazing ergos BUT as a completely untrained SD specialist I would want a Civilian in my hand in a real life situation that would be … Wie sagt Ihr dazu? Never dropped the pkal when I had it but I've dropped a yo2 and broke a little bit off the tip. I typically carry a folder, and I've often carried a Yojimbo 2 for this reason. I don't carry knives for self defense use, but if I did my first choice is a fixed blade, second choice is a waved folder, third choice is a regular folder. Phone: 303-279-8383 Toll-Free: 800-525-7770 Fax: 303-278-2229. Reason I say this is (and I find it odd you'd be asking MA advice on a knife forum) they're different knives. If a knife is your preference then you need to learn a martial art that focuses on blade use, and then after some more experience you will know exactly which of the two blades will work best for your defensive intentions. As several forumites have already pointed out, training is the key. As such, I'm thinking of getting another Spyderco as a dedicated self defense knife that doesn't get left behind. Explore both skill sets and put them into perspective with your needs, your physical attributes, and the legalities of self-defense. Read about how each knife was designed to be used. For that reason I'd vote Pikal out of your two choices, but I would also consider fixed versions of both models. I like the Yojimbo because it has the most utility for my EDC, so it's a dual-function kind of knife. Thought I'd put my 2 cents worth in this topic, since for the first time in my life I've been considering a knife for self defense. I appreciate your time and help. It will give you satisfaction in life. I can't argue with TP's reasoning, but I also really like the Reverse as a fixed blade option, which might not be available for long (disco'd). Re: P'Kal vs. Yojimbo vs. Chinook Post by benben » Wed Nov 13, 2019 12:54 pm I've missed out on the Ayoob several times and swore if another Sprint run were released, I wouldn't miss it. As others have mentioned, choose the knife among the three that best fits your training background & SD approach (I carry a Yojimbo 2 since it fits my SD purposes & can easily pull double-duty as a utility knife, but I can definitely see the appeal of the P'kal for clinch fighting-focused approaches to knife SD or as a "get off of me while I reach for my firearm" self-defence tool in the style of Greg Thompson's SOCP design). SHARPEN IT LIKE YOU LOVE IT, USE IT LIKE YOU HATE IT, A day without laughter is a day wasted. It offers the deployment advantages of the Wave without the commitment to reverse-edge methods. Designed by noted personal-defense trainer Michael Janich, the Yojimbo2 is an evolved expression of his original Spyderco Yojimbo design, which pioneered the application of the Wharncliffe blade in tactical folders.

Others worth mentioning as well are the Karahawk and PPT which were also designed specifically for self defense. You could also "split the difference" and go with something like the Endura with an Emerson Opener. Not the answer you're looking for...........pistol. Designed to cut with unrelenting power all the way to the point, its broad straight-edged blade is hollow-ground from corrosion-resistant CTS-BD1 stainless steel. So out of the two it would get my vote but honestly that's more of a taste preference than suggesting that it's the better of the two for self defense. Das Spyderco YoJimbo II ist die überarbeitete Version von Michael Janichs Erfolgsmodell und bietet eine optimierte Ergonomie für noch bessere Kontrolle. I've seen all the reviews, forums and other crap, still the 2 knives are just so similar I simply just can't chose. but, two things of note about the yojimbo: Don’t forget the Matriarch/ Lil Matriarch. Really like this out the box. -Kevin. Spyderco C85GP2 Yojimbo 2, Satin PlainEdge Designed by noted personal-defense trainer Michael Janich, the Yojimbo 2 is an evolved expression of his original Spyderco Yojimbo design, which pioneered the application of the Wharncliffe blade in tactical folders.

I've been trying to decide which knife to for the last 2 months, I'm leaning towards the yojimbo 2, but sill can't decide. Focus on what ergonomics feel the most natural to you. Hope you enjoy this new Blade HQ Exclusive Yojimbo 2, the Knife of the Day! But I really agree with the run first mentality. The Yojimbo 2 looks more practical for carry, but the P’kal trips my trigger as well with the Emerson Wave. It would piss me off if I were to the point to have to draw a weapon on them. Bought this partly out of curiosity to compare to Mike Janich's Yojimbo 2. The new Yojimbo 2 trainer is mechanically identical to its live-blade counterpart, but features a full-thickness CTST BD1 stainless steel blade that is carefully radiused to allow safe contact. I have been carrying the original blue model for over 10 years now and it’s one of my favorite knives. I enjoy the conversations about knives, gun, whatever. Lol just a quick vid of a new knife I got today. I love my Yojimbo as a utility knife and it has absolutely amazing ergos BUT as a completely untrained SD specialist I would want a Civilian in my hand in a real life situation that would be desperate enough to need a knife. If you like reverse grip style, this one is hard to beat for all the reasons TP noted. If you're having to ask this question then you should probably be looking for something other than a knife to defend yourself with. i probably shouldn’t answer this question as i only have experience with the yojimbo of all the knives you mentioned. For instance, I subscribe to the concept of using a Wharncliffe blade to slash and disable, I feel it is the most natural and effective motion for someone with minimal training, so something like the Yojimbo (or the Civilian you currently have) would compliment that defense style.
