persian love?

[Lord_Balkan]

Nice knives man I especially like that first one. Who makes that one?

That one is a Microtech SBK persian fixed blade.

 

[kniferbro]

I love Persian blades. They have a very 'old' vibe to them. I also cannot get enough of Persian food. LOVE it!!!

 

[ThePeacent]

love'em

 

[DeAdEyE956]

VDK makes a nice Persian as well. He calls it the Pharaoh

 

[noob93]

I have two bedlams and a small Persian fixed blade from Backwoods knives, I'll have to get pictures up of that one.

Ya man I'd love to check it out

Some look nice, but don't have any edc practicality that I can see so I don't own any.

How do they not have any "edc" practicality? An upswept point is a blade shape that has been around for centuries.

 

[AntCaps]

Does this count lol?

 

[JPD1998]

I have a few, but this one is my favorite.

 

[rschuch]

Definitely a big fan of Persian and kwaiken/aka Japanese blade styles. I have 3 Brous blades (Vendetta, Sniper and the VR-71), as well as the Benchmade 860 and Bad Blood Persian which are both basically folding scimitars. Hassaaaaaaan chop!

Exactly. In the west it is much like a trailing point which is one hell of a fantastic general use blade shape.

Yup. Schrade Sharpfinger? I believe they sold a few of those.

for my edc needs the tip of the knife often has to penetrate first before cutting and an upswept blade makes this awkward, There's a reason why box cutters don't have upswept blades.
There's nothing wrong with liking this blade shape, but you should be honest with yourself and realize that it's not well suited to the daily cutting tasks that people encounter nowadays.

You are projecting your needs on to others. What you mean is "Some look nice, but don't have any edc practicality for me that I can see so I don't own any" and "it's not well suited to the daily cutting tasks that I encounter". You must be careful passing off your opinion as fact for other people.

 

[Danke42]

Yep nothing worse than a pointy sharp knife. That's how you cut yourself!

One of my favs.

 

[Larry Turko]

Okay I confess; I love Persians too. I've got the Emerson Persian, the Benchmade Bedlam, the original Spyderco Persian, the Boker flipper Persian and the giant Cold Steel Talwar Persian. Unfortunately I've never learned how to post pictures.

Wow I don't even have the words just wow... I do fear I would have to pick either owning that one knife or having one kidney. All the same wow..

 

[stromania]

I wish I had better photos of it, my cell phone pictures don't do it justice.

Maybe not but I'm drooling none the less. That knife is everything I love about the Persian style. Was that a one off you designed?

 

[JeremiahWeaver09]
