Custom knifemakers are more
than simply steel junkies. Ed Schempp is a wheat farmer, metallurgist and celebrated
knifemaker who’s Persian Folder introduces Classic Western with Exotic East.
Persian knives traditionally are fixed blades but Ed integrates this indigenous
shape into a folding knife.
Comprised of graceful curving
lines, the new smaller Persian Folder 75mm is eye-catching with black Micarta
handle scales capped by polished stainless bolsters. On the handle a series
of finger choils position the hand for complete control over the cutting edge.
Its Eastern inspired blade
arches into a curving belly and ends in a graceful upswept tip. The 2-15/16”
(75mm) blade is made of high-performance VG-10 steel (hollow-ground) with a
prominent hump positioned above the hole as a thumb leveraging spot. The pocket
clip positions the folder to carry right-handed tip-up.
A small portion of steel
removed from the locking lever offers additional lock safety and is called a
David Boye Dent. It permits tightly gripping the handle without grasping with
enough force to inadvertently disengaging the lock during use.
