Below is a compilation of reviews made for the variations of the Spyderco Persian—a gorgeous Ed Schempp-designed plain edge blade knife offered by Spderco.
Review for 75mm variation by M. Resibo
“This is a very nice knife. I like the quality, the look and the heft. It has a classy appearance about it. The opening action is quite stiff, but I understand that this is the case with all of the Mini-Persians.”
“The only bad thing is that the knife is so nice I am reluctant to carry it often because I want to avoid scratching it up with use.”
Review for Mini Persian by Mr Blonde regarding the blade
“The generous curve is excellent for kitchen duty. It’s the classiest paring knife I own. Still, with the angled handle, you can use the tip for finer work. The blade is thin with a relatively high hollow grind; it cuts like the proverbial laser. With the curving edge I’ve noticed that the tip doesn’t get as much wear and tear like with straighter blades. Rather than starting the cut with the tip, the curving edge invites you to start cutting with the edge. I noticed this mostly with opening bags and when using my Mini Persian as a little helper in the Kitchen. When the Mini Persian had to be introduced to Mr. Sharpmaker, it struck me that the tip hardly needed work since it was still relatively sharp.”
Generic review by Tomas Gutierrez
“The hollow ground, upward curved blade holds true to it’s middle-eastern heritage and is just plain attractive. Aesthetics aside, the blade is very practical and makes for an awesome cutting tool.”
“The pocket clip is not ambidextrous to allow for left-handed carry. Thankfully I am right handed, but some of you might miss out on a killer knife because of this.”
