Persian 75mm - Black G-10
Ed Schempp does something few custom knifemakers do; he combines ethnic and indigenous knife styles into highly functional modern folding knives.
A revival of an earlier Persian Folder collaboration, the Spyderco Schempp Persian2 combines Western with Eastern knife influences by including a classic Persian appearance with modern steels, locking mechanisms and pocket clips. Historically Persian knives were fixed blades used ceremonially and for everyday living.
The Persian Folder2 winds its way in a graceful sweeping profile from the tip of its VG-10 flat-ground blade to a curvaceous G-10 handle. Lighter and thinner than the original Spyderco Persian folder, the Persian Folder2 has skeletonized internal handle liners and a slimmer profile. The handle’s curves act as a series of leveraging hand-holds, positioning a gripped hand in comfort and in control.
Located mid-spine is a back- lock with the added safety feature of a David Boye Dent. Where blade and handle join is a finger choil that positions the index finger safely, nearer to the cutting edge for close-in and detailed cutting. Completing the handle is a black steel tip-up right-hand positioned pocket clip, embellished with a gold Spyderco logo bug.
THE SPYDERCO ETHNIC SERIES –
Spyderco developed its Ethnic Series Knives to recognize the world’s many distinctive cultural knives. In addition to paying tribute to widely recognized ethnic blade styles, our goal is to showcase lesser-known cultural knives, their qualities, and the significance they hold to the societies that created them. Although many knife companies have reproduced native knife patterns in various forms, Spyderco has chosen to honor these designs by expressing them as modern, fully-functional knives—often folders—crafted with the latest state-of-the-art materials.
This demanding format challenges their skills and manufacturing convention, in the process yielding a unique family of knives and an increased understanding and appreciation for the tools that inspired them.
