Proper knife for Kali

[jysEXP]

I'm intrested in Pekiti Tirsia Kali,but am not sure on the signature knife. I'm looking at Spiderco's are those a wise choice?

I don't think there is a "signature" knife, the ginunting can probably be considered a "signature" sword, but I can't think of anything for a knife.

Yes, they do have a signature sword, but if they have a distinctive knife it's news to me.

There's a specific knife design the philipine Force Recon marines use, but that's all i can think of.

While I do think that PTK was (and is) a big inflluence on making such a design popular (reverse grip edge in) I can't really say that is a "pekiti knife." Every time I have seen Tuhon Gaje, he has been playing with something different, as an example I've seen him have: an Emerson karambit, cold steel voyager, some bear claw type, and a balisong, and this is out of meeting him 3 times. He seems to like variety in his carry items....

Please tell me your not going to train with a live blade!
Thats for the movies dude, train safe, use a training blade.

I do not believe that PTK has a signature knife.

It doesn't, to my knowledge.

But, to echo Silatman's comments, you don't train with a knife, you train with a training blade.
