[Woody]

Here it is Chad as requested......... :p

WOW, there is a big difference! I did not think it would be that much. Could you maybe get a picture of the other side of each of them?

Thanks for the picture Woody.

Once again...... As requested........ :cool:

Man, what a nice pair

Nice pics, Woody


How about a pic of the 75mm in hand? I know, I'm a pain ;)

[Woody]

All right then..... Hope these will work...... LOL...... :p

Great job!! Thanks Woody.

Very nice Woody, think one may be on the way to me, along with something else. (Mary Beth loves to keep me in suspense by only telling me how hard my bank account got hit, but not what's in the package. And, in case anyone missed the other thread, the latest production of the C83 is marked just like the C105 - gold bug on the left side of the blade, Ed Schempp logo on the right side.

Can I get a pic of the 75mm on the beach with a cold drink? J/K

Nice pics... This one is on the top of my wish list.

[ront]

:D :D :D :D

[Axlis]

Thanks for the pics Woody! I believe this one has now jumped to the top of my list, right up there with the Tasman :D.

[VultureParade]

haha, thanks, Woody

You're a sweetheart ;)


The choil looks pretty solid on this one. I'm going to have to hold it myself and see, but I'm intrigued.

[greencobra]

Paul, any plans for this one? You gonna upgrade the handle material maybe to match it's big brother?

Nice pics Woody, thanks.

I've been thinking of getting the Persian....but I'm confused as to what I am seeing. This thread is obviously in response to some other thread somewhere. Are the knives pictured both Persians? If not which is which?

Thanks from a 58 year old Spyderco Novice (a late in life conversion).

Tim..... For orignal thread click here.... > http://spyderco.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18611 Large Persian is the orignal C83.... Small one is the C105 just released..... Hope it helps..... :cool:

Nice Pics,it sure helps.
We have no Spyderco dealers in Nfld. to see the differences. :eek:
Thanks,regards,Rick. :spyder:

My C105 75mm Persian just arrived from NGK, and, as luck would have it, another new C83 Persian from another source was in the mailbox with it.

This C83, like the one I got the other day, has the "new style" markings...

[Woody]

Nice Deacon.... I like the new marking on the C83..... That makes one more to the list....... :rolleyes:

Once again.... A big high five to Mr. Schempp for his design, and Spyderco for making it all happen.........

:spyder: Ok I'm a dork and am not ashamed but I love the new gold bug. :o :spyder:

[Michael Cook]

:spyder: So I take it the c85 is not being disco'd? :) :spyder:

Thanks Woody. I just ordered the C83 from New Graham. Hopefully I can catch the UPS man before the wife does.

[Woody]

Good deal Tim...... You will love it....... ;)

Better late than never to discover that best production knives around!

I'm going to try very hard to pretend like I never saw that C83 with a gold bug.


Guys, they only make the 75mm Persian with a gold bug.

The full sized Persian doesn't have one... doesn't.. gold... ..

.... ... .


Where's my credit card?

[VultureParade]

Haha, I have an original sitting next to me right now.

Ah... Spyderco :)

[jaislandboy]

thanks Woody / Paul for posting comparison pics ... hmmm I wonder if there'll be an 80-85mm Persian down the road? :rolleyes:

[spydutch]

Thanks for the pics Woody and Deacon :cool: :cool:

The little Persian will look even nicer with serrations (sorry Deacon)

IMHO, nothing looks better with serrations....except a saw!

Well, Mr. Obsessive Compulsive (that would be me) just purchased 2 Large Persians from NGK. They are beautiful BUT just a little to big and heavy for me to use as EDC's. I think that I'll keep one and donate the other to CSM Carlson who awards them to valiant troops under his command in Iraq.

Where are you finding the new Smaller Persian? I don't see it on NGK's website.
