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. The bigger blade has 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 belt worn, right handed 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 obviously.
Persian Fighter (smaller) - Blade 10" (not counting ricasso), OA 16.5" to end of finial - $1500 (knife was $1800 and change from maker)
Persian Bowie (larger) - Blade 11.5" (not counting ricasso), OA 18"+ - $1650 (knife was $1900+ ish from maker)
Prices are TYD/CONUS, PayPal G+S.
