The Apadana (Persian Style Knife Designs)

[sgt1372]

And here a a few more knives that are relevant to the discussion:

First, the Spyderco Pygmy Warrior & Warrior (which I'd consider more Persian -- especially the Warrior -- than Trailing Point):

And next, a combo photo of these variations of the Spyderco Blackhawk & Renegade lines (which are definitely Trailing Point, not Persian, IMO):

Would that technically make the knife a Canersian? Just wondering ...

As luck would have it, I very recently snagged this sweet Persian from the man himself! David Mary

Cool thread. Question: Is there a difference between the Persian blade shape & a trailing point?

The spelling.................

Persian you say:

Where ya been hiding that beauty?????

 

[navman]

That was a custom order almost a year ago.

I want to establish a spot for Persian designs and adjacent designs. Any maker or brand is welcome! I'll start.

The real question is how many burners does your stove have?? So many knobs....

The real question is how many burners does your stove have?? So many knobs....

For me ... its the buttery smooth skin on the hand holding the knife thats most distracting ...

Can you elaborate on this? Or point to where you found the information? Thank you.

If you google it it’s the first thing that comes up on AI.

Sorry, I thought knife people on a knife forum might enjoy talking about knife design and definition.

The whole "Google it with AI" response is wearing pretty thin with me already.

The poster I asked already had made some statements and I asked him for elaboration on that information. Thought it might add to the discussion.

My mistake.
