Persian Kard...

[J. Doyle]

I've never seen one of these before but there is something about it that gets me. It's very stabby, I assume it's a fighting knife, yes? Execution is great, lines are smooth. Makes me want to hold it.

Thank you Mark. I'm very pleased with the lines and flow of this knife and personally, I think it feels great in hand. Balance feels spot on to me. It's not too light but it's slim and lively.

You are correct about it being a weapon. The books I have that show kards say their main purpose was to pierce chain mail and heavy leather armor. So that makes this not very practical today. But it could slice up a turkey and disembowel a watermelon pretty well.

Yep, I love it.
