General Spyderco | Persian Folder™ Black Micarta

Custom Knifemakers Are Way More Than Just Steel Junkies. Many Are Great Artists And Deep Thinking Intellectuals With Their Own Specialties And Talents. They Continue To Bring Spice, Variety And New Ideas To The Knife World. Custom Maker Ed Schempp Is A Wheat Farmer Who While Driving His Tractor Through His Fields Has Time To Think. He Thinks About Knives And Everything Surrounding Them: Steel, Designs, Heat Treat, Metallurgy Properties, And He Also Thinks Wheat, But Only Because He Has To. His Signature Symbol, Wheat Sheaves Are Found On All His Knives. He Recently Collaborated With Spyderco In A Design Called The Persian Folder — A Well Thought Out Mixture Of Classic Western Meets The Exotic East.

The Shapely Persian Blade Is Traditionally Found In Fixed Blade Form But Ed Incorporates This Eastern Influence Into A Folding Knife. Made Of Vg-10, The Hollow-Ground Blade Is Deep-Bellied, Ending In An Upswept Tip With A Curvy Spot On The Spine Where Your Thumb Rests. The Blade’S Curves Flow Through Into The Handle, Which Is Black Micarta Topped With Polished Steel Bolsters. Not Only Do The Curves Add Visual Appeal, They Create A Finger Choil And A Crook In Front Of The Index Finger Then End In A Tail, For A Myriad Of Grip Positions. A Custom Designed Steel Pocket Clip Positions The Knife So It Carries Right-Handed, Tip-Up. Balance Combined With Top-Notch Fit And Finish Mark This Model An Ed Schempp Design And A True Spyderco.
