Many of these are beautiful knives, with designs that are unique here in the U.S. Others have a very classic look, with swedges and long pulls on the blades.
Are all of these new, or are some older knives in pristine condition?
If these are current models, and the steel as high a quality as the designs, then I would think that there could be a large market for these in many countries.
Thank you for sharing these!

You're welcome Reverand, as you said some of them are new and some are older. Those with "Nazm Parvar" tang stamp were made by "Abolfazl Nazm Parvar" who was the most famous Iranian knife maker in recent years (passed away 9 years ago). Of coarse the quality of the blades is high, they usually use high strength steel (from Germany,...) because the purpose of these knives is cutting Bamboos,...

Just stunning knives Ali. Those bird or dolphin bolsters are so unique, nothing like it here in the US. The shields on those are unique and nice as well.
These craftsmen are at the top of their game.

I would love to know how they get those hooks on those tangs? Does he start w/ a blade that wide and work it down or is there some other way to get that? Iām just amazed at the craftsmanship of these.
