here's a little thread to show what i mean

The Tuff for sure. It is super strong for a folder and would be like having a razor-sharp crow bar in a fight. Excellent egros too.

Navaja, love it.

My favorite is the Kris. Mr. Schempp is my favorite knifemaker, I just like his interpretation and design in the Ethnic series. The original Persian, Barong and Navaja are right up there too.

For me it's the tuff! Info not own one but have held and tooled around a little with a lot of his designs. I held a tuff the other day and it was just down right impressive from the ergos to the thick blade from top to bottom. Beautiful piece!

Barong because of its simplicity and killer looks... I just wish it had half an inch more edge.

Here's one of my favorite pics of a few Schempp blades...

This one is also my favorite.......
Mostly i like all kind of knifes but this one is just awesome. These are looking like an decoration piece if we put these in out rooms.

That's a Tuff question, or maybe a Tuff answer.

Hello folks, been awhile. I think any Schempp design needs to be held and used, first. I lean more toward the S.D./tool side. I have the Kris folder. The more I hold work with it, the more I appreciate it. It is/was a hidden gem. It has this type of feeling of falling into your hand. It appears from pics only that the tuff has that same type of look. So much that I can say about the Kris, but fellow knifebro, Kaligman sums it up quite well, look up his vids about the Kris. Take care all and God Bless.

I've held a few Ed Schempp designs, most do not feel right to me.

The small Persian is the only one that really feels comfortable to me. I love that knife.

Rock/Rock salt and a new version of a reground Barong with more edge .

[AKWolf]

I wonder what KaliG will think about the new Kerahawk.

My favorite would be the CF Balance
If I had one

I don't own one yet, but the bolstered / red micarta Persian. I have held it and as bh49 has said many times, the ergos are fantastic.

I'm with you on this one, X. The red micarta makes a really gorgeous knife even more sexy.

Did you try C83 Full size Persian. For my hand it is just perfect, small Persian is not filling hand that well.

I feel just opposite. The black has class.

I did. It feels good when I'm not using the choil, but the edge is very far away from my hand. The choil, which is almost a 2 finger choil doesn't feel right when I'm using choil grip.

After handling the small persian, I thought "the small persian must have been made first and the large persian is just a larger version." I found out that is not true.

[EarthDog]

Original Persian! And then the Red Persian.

[RobC2]

Just closed the deal on an original black micarta full size Persian after owning an original small Persian. To me, these are at the top of the list!

I've been thinking about this for days. I think I would have to go with the Kreined Barong that Ed was kind enough to pass on to me. A close second is the original big Persian, a prize donated by Ed which I won in a Spyderco contest. Here's the only picture I have of the Barong:
