+1 another one from me. I too hope this isn't the case. Part of the appeal of the Persian is the bolsters and the grind. No G10 would be best, but scales replacement is the other option. I've got a Persian coming from Brad sometime soon which will hopefully look the bomb :D and I hope that the new sprint run will be something close to that :pThe Deacon wrote:+1 Roman. G=10 scales on the regular (bolstered) Persian would be fine. G-10 isn't super expensive and I could always have it replaced. No bolsters, on the other hand, would be a definite deal breaker. They're a major part of the original's appeal.
ED Schempp Persian Sprint Run?

If this is true it will save me some money... Too many mid sized utility Spydies for it to compete with. I want a classy one, bolsters and micarta is needed on this one.Halfneck wrote:Oh yeah, forgot this one.
FFG Persian with G10 scales & no bolsters.
Ok so it's not a pretty model, but I liked it.

CF with SS Bolsters and S90V would be the BOMB!!!!!!! Close to the originals classy look just with awesome upgraded materials!MCM wrote: CF, SS Bolsters, S90v
Endless possibilities, But sKip the FFG/G-10 for me.........please.. :D
OMG I need one
lolHave to say wouldn't be too wild about a full G10 with FFG blade, Just because it isn't a Persian then
Persian must be classy :) I miss mine a lot!Vic
I vote Yes for a sprint run large persian.
I have one done at Santa-Fe with gold mop and malachite.

In other news, Oreo cookies will no longer have filling, Christmas will have no longer have Christmas trees, taxes will go up by 100%, and bikinis will be banned at beaches.
I agree, a bolsterless full G10 version with a FFG is not a Persian lol

Honestly I'd definitely be keen to pick up a FFG G10 C83. While it might not have the aesthetic appeal of the original bolstered C83, it would give some us a chance to really appreciate the Persian's potential as a utility knife. I know many of us (myself included) don't really give the C83 a true work out due to it's relative scarcity. And nor do I wish to compromise my one and only C83's original design by giving it a FFG.
The G10 scale / platform will provide ample opportunity for customization, and if that's not enough Sal did mention that he was testing another product for stabilization for use with the Persian. Now that sounds like we've got two Persian sprints on the Go. Nice work Sal & Ed ! :D

It is nice. I do this every day. :)StangBang wrote:That is very true... It would be nice to be able to REALLY use the Persian...

IMHO if somebody want C83 for use, with patience can pick-up used in good shape under $120. I see them once every couple month on BF and e-bay.

Hey Spyderfly,
That's a beautiful piece. Santa Fe certainly does have some skill.
It sure is difficult to please the many varied preferences suggested......but we try.
There are currently two Persians in-the-works. One is a sprint with bolsters and a polished G-10 scale in dark red.
On the other, Eric, who worked quite a bit with Ed on the current Persian design, felt that the true functional "spirit" of this excellent design would best be served with a G-10 version, peel ply, full flat grind and skeletonized liners. Light and thin.
