Both knives purchased from Kyle and are unused. Both are big, thick heavy bowies. The bigger blade (hereafter bowie) has his makers mark and JS, and the smaller (hereafter fighter) just his makers mark.
Both knives are forged 1075 with hamon/differential heat treat. Both have a little sheath patina right now (no rust or corrosion), but could easily be cleaned up. African blackwood handles on both. Both knives have damascus guards and finials, with file worked spacers. The damascus runs a different direction on both of them, and the fighter has a lanyard hole in the finial. Neither have been used in any way, and the larger blade is the sharper of the two.
Both come with black leather sheaths with ostrich shin overlays. The bowie has a flap and stud for securing the knife, the fighter just the stud. There is a bit at the top of the fighter sheath where the glue came up a bit. In addition, there is a small line/dent in the handle on the fighter. As stated, I have not used either, so this could have been from shipping, or I just bumped it into something storing it. Additionally, full disclosure, the fighter is not very sharp along the belly, but that can be fixed. I could even check with Kyle for the buyer.
Persian Fighter (smaller) - Blade 10" (not counting ricasso), OA 16.5" to end of finial - $1650 or best reasonable offer
Persian Bowie (larger) - Blade 11.5" (not counting ricasso), OA 18"+ - $1750 or best reasonable offer
I'll try and put some sheath pictures on tonight.
Both of those prices are lower than what I paid, and are negotiable, in part for the issue with the sheath on the smaller knife and the sheath patina. Prices are TYD/CONUS, PayPal G+S. If by some chance someone wanted both I'd come down a bit more on the pricing.
Not looking for trades unless it's a partial against one of these, and really only a CAS san mai in the right build.
More pictures of anything you want to see, just PM me and I'll email them to you. Knives are available elsewhere, and I reserve the right to sell or not sell to anyone I choose.
