Native III & Mini Persian

#1

Post by Fred Sanford »

Here are some pictures of my newly acquired Native III and my Mini Persian. I also have a Native III SE on the way coming in the new style box (Thanks to Knifeworks.com).

The Native III is my new found love. It's now my primary EDC and I wish I would have tried it years ago.

Enjoy...

Nice pictures, good knives. Thank you for sharing.
I wish my pictures would be a half good as yours.
One day, I will get this Persian. :)

Awesome pictures again my friend !

Those neighbours will call the cops one day David. Just make sure you have some knives on you to ward them off :eek: (just kidding of course)

Keep em coming. I love my Native an my Persian too. Great blades, great ergos. The Native I find will suit more hands than the Persian being less 'sculpted'. Persian has a more 'snug' and secure feel though IMHO due to the choil and shaped handle.

Great pics!
It's better to have knife and not need it than to need a knife and not have it.

Thanks folks for the compliments on the pics. I give all my credit to the Sun and the Macro setting on my Nikon camera! :)

They are great knives. In fact they are the only two I've carried for the last week or so.

And Dan, as of yet, my neighbors haven't asked what I'm doing yet. I'm not sure they can see what I'm doing. At least the house you can see in the picture. The neighbors that live beind me know I like knives and freaked out one time when I got a BM 555 Mini-Grip out to cut a hot dog at a party. :)

As others have said, nice photos. Sun and marco settings aside, you know how to make a knife look good.

I need to stop looking at photos of the Mini-Persian. I can only begin to think what my fiancée will say if I get more knives. Particularly the Persian, I just know she wont like it, she will say the blade shape is scary. She doesn’t seem to mind my Yojimbo though :rolleyes: Thats strange

Thanks for sharing the awesome pics David!

I think the swedge grind on the Native III looks MUCH better than the Golden one, your pics make me want to get one. :D

...that mini Persian isn't looking so bad either.
