persians in the works

Ansoknives · Jun 17, 2002

while designing the bottom one for a customer I came up with the top and decided it was too good to stay on paper....both will have bolsters front and back. Bottom one is going to be all Damassteel...top one is RWL and will have 304 bolsters...scales are going to be mammoth on the bottom one and probably dessert ironwood for the top....

ready for heattreat!

specs are : 6" blade, 11" overall

Jens that is some beautiful grinding - I hate to repeat Bob but heck you earned it. The tapered tang and double bolsters are going to make these perfect. Can't wait!

How do you sheath something like this?

BEAUTIFUL!!!! Can't wait to see it in Damasteel. It is my favorite store bought damascus!
By-the-way, did Tom Mayo help you with the bottom one?

Something about the curves of those designs really grabs me. Looking forward to the finished pic's!
