Wow!!!

Nice!!!! If I had to guess, I would say that an ancient Persian warrior might use those for skinning Assyrians or Babylonians.

Sinuous, utilitarian, elegant, business-like, and wicked-looking. These are the kind of knife that I absolutely love. Beautiful execution! :thumbup:

Sorry for the delay, Thanks everyone for the very kind words...

John, I really appreciate you posting my chasing of the hamons is partly due to your past knives! Thank you.

I finally got the sheaths finished up and these are on their way to their owners, one final shot!
