Tac Persian

[BenR.T.]

This is another custom order I just finished up.
It is a Persian stlye blade based on my Tac bowie model.
The OAL is 10", with a 5 5/8" blade of .214" 5160. The handle is scalloped black canvas micarta with red liners. It will be getting Kydex when my Tek-loks come in.
Any comments are welcome!

The lines are of course rad, but I especially like texture and gray tones. How did you achieve the gray texture in the blade? Do you do a lot of ricasso-less blades? What would I knife like that be used for?

Nice lines and color.

Wonder how it would look with the handle slabs all the way back?

Very aggressive profile.

Phil, the gray on the blade is just mill scale left on the flats of the blade.
Up until recently, I did all ricasso-less blades.
This was custom designed per with the customers input.
It would be very usable for most tasks, and could be one heck of a fighting knife!
