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. 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, but is fixable. As stated, I have not used either, so this could have been from shipping, or I just bumped it into something storing it.
Persian Fighter (smaller) - Blade 10" (not counting ricasso), OA 16.5" to end of finial - $1600 or best reasonable offer
Persian Bowie (larger) - Blade 11.5" (not counting ricasso), OA 18"+ - $1700 or best reasonable offer
Both of those prices are lower than what I paid, in part for the issue with the sheath on the smaller knife and the sheath patina. Prices are TYD/CONUS, PayPal G+S.
Not looking for trades unless it's a partial against one of these, and really only a CAS in the right build. Great knives, I have just spent more on my hobbies than I can justify lately, so I have to pare down a bit.
More pictures of anything you want to see, just PM me and I'll email them to you.
Selling in another venue as well, so time stamp applies.
