I made this Persian  Kard for a close friend. This knife represents several firsts. It's my first integral bolster and the first wood turning I've ever done on a lathe (thanks to Scott Hogsten for the lessons.) The blade is forged from 5160 round stock and has an apple seed grind. The handle is ebony, fossil ivory, fiber spacer material and sterling silver.
The knife has an overall length of 13-1/2" with a blade length is 7-1/4".
