I am considering purchasing an Elishewitz small persian. What are your impressions of this knife? Thanks!
 
Welcome aboard, newknifeguy.

I purchased a beautiful Elishewitz Persian (smaller size) from the late, great James Mattis at Blade West last year. I really liked the design and Allen's fit and finish on this one was superb. Ergonomically speaking the smaller size ended up being just a bit too small for my above average sized hands. I eventually traded up for an identical folder in the larger size and it's perfect for me.

Having handled a Persian at the vegas Knife show off of Allen's table, it seemed to be a nice knife. Have not owned one myself though, but I do like most of Allen's work. Hope this helps.

His Persian is one of my favorites.

Get one....Great design..... One of his prettier ones....quality materials all the way through.....I bought both my son's one last year.....LarryD
 
Allen does some great work. I would check the liner lock and make sure it doesn't slip. I have handled a few that did and I sent one back to Allen for him to fix with the same problem.

Argggghh... did you have to do that? I swore not to go round to Larry's site to avoid being tempted again

A very nice piece of work - the design and materials just go together like a Zen poem.

BTW I have a Cortex (very pleased with it) and am thinking of adding a Djinn and Persian to the collection. Allen usually has a couple of knives available at his site:

I have about 25 of Allen's knives, folders and fixed blades, a few going back to his very early days. I'm pleased with all of them, my most recent one being a large Neo with Pearl handles. I don't think you could go wrong with any of his knives.

It's called TransMetal and it has an almost 4" blade with a very ergonomic handle perfect for saber grip and reverse/icepick grip...

The top edge is not sharpened....
