Both knives were purchased direct from Kyle and are unused. Both are big and heavy forged Bowies.
Both are 1075 with Hamon/differential heat treat, Damascus guards and finials, and file worked spacers. African Blackwood handles. The Damascus runs a different direction on each knife (one horizontal and one vertical). The smaller Persian Fighter has a lanyard hole in the finial.
Full Disclosure Stuff:
Neither has been used in any way but the larger Persian Bowie is sharper and the Fighter is honestly not sharp enough. Could obviously be fixed by a pro or a good home sharpening type.
The Persian Bowie has some sheath patina, but no rust/corrosion so nothing that can’t be cleaned up. The Fighter I cleaned up but it has some “whirl” marks so could use a scotch bright rub down. And there is a slight snail trail in the handle of the Fighter. Not sure how it got there.
Both have sheaths with ostrich shin overlays, but the Fighter sheath has a bit of the overlay coming up so needs a dab of glue.
Persian Fighter: Blade 10”, OA 16.5” to end of finial - $1300 (was $1900 from maker) - deeply discounted for imperfections
Persian Bowie: Blade 11.5”, OA 18+ to end of finial - $1500 (was also $1900+ from maker)
Prices are your total cost, CONUS. I would do $2600 for the pair.
PM with any additional photo requests or questions.
