Hi all,
I think it's about time we had a Picture gallery dedicated to the Spyderco Persian Army !
Bring it on everyone. Large Persian, Mini Persian, custom Persians.... any Persians. Let's all shout from the rooftops about this wonderful Schempp design.
Maybe a sprint run can be on the cards if enough love is shown for it publicly :D

That is such a great blade shape. The curve on the top is not even that pronounced but looks curvier with the big, smooth belly and it's grind.

I never heard about this model, but probably Ed Schempp is already working on it. :D :D :D

Thanks for the nice photos of the Persian designs. Some of the photos of the knives laid out t an angle other than straight on highlights one of the tools I used in the design of these knives in fact most of my designs. By looking at the pieces at an angle is what I do to condense the lines of the design. If the curves of the design don't flow you can see it in an instant when looking at the piece condensing the lines of flow, by viewing at an angle. Some of these pictures reflect that view of these knives...Take Care...Ed

Thanks for the comments Ed,
Those are exactly the sentiments the Persian (and Kris...an upcoming models) fans have come to understand and love. It is those fluid lines that have lured myself to this dynamic duo of blades.... :D
Great pics Wouter :)
I urge more Persian owner to calmber on board the Persian boat. This one is setting setting sail to see if Spyderco will revive it
:D
