Ed Schempp, a wheat farmer, metallurgist, and renowned knife maker, created the Persian Folder by blending classic Western elegance with exotic Eastern charm. Traditionally, Persian knives are fixed, but Ed reinterpreted this typical shape in a folding knife.

Characterized by curved and harmonious lines, the Persian Folder 90 mm stands out for its black Micarta scales combined with polished stainless steel guards. The handle features a series of finger choils that allow for a firm grip and total control of the blade. The blade, inspired by the East, has a pronounced belly and an elegant upward-pointing tip.

Made of high-performance VG-10 steel with a concave grind, the blade measures 89 mm and features a prominent “hump” above the opening hole, ideal as a thumb rest. The clip allows for right-side tip-up pocket carry. A milling on the locking mechanism, known as the David Boye Dent, increases safety by preventing accidental unlocking during a firm grip.

Acknowledgments

Currently I make a limited number of knives a year and participate in some exhibitions, where among other things I have won my first prizes:

in 2005 at LAME SOTTO I PORTICI in Romano di Lombardia (BG) I was awarded as "best table on display"

always in the same year at the CULTER-EXPO in Novegro (MI) as "best folding knife"

I was also ranked second in the competition organized by the magazine LAME D'AUTORE as the best fixed hunting blade

then in 2007 at "Scarperia" I won the third prize for best folding

but above all again in 2007, to my great satisfaction, I reached the degree of MASTER OF THE ITALIAN KNIVING CORPORATION, a recognition received at the first exam.

Presentation of the craftsman

Creating a knife by hand is what I consider a real art form.
The satisfaction of seeing an object that comes from one's own hands, that takes shape and reaches mechanical, artistic and aesthetic perfection is what pays me back the most for all the hours of work and effort it takes to create a knife completely. by hand.

The passion for "cutting tools" has always been in me since I was a child and grew with me until the almost sudden decision to build my first knife myself, it was a "need", almost an inner necessity that I couldn't put off, my hands and my mind had to start creating, of course, what I had always been passionate about ... the knife!

I started at 40, in 2003, practically self-taught, I had no experience of manual work, but I had been a mechanical designer for many years and this allowed me to perfectly know the technique and all the various stages of mechanical processing.

Currently I am a member, with the rank of Master, which is the highest, of the Italian Knives Guild, an association recognized all over the world for the seriousness and above all quality of execution that all its members must maintain over time.

What I do now is what I consider my art form ..., to create "handcrafted, hunting and collectible knives".

They are knives made entirely by hand, only with an infinite series of files, a small drill for the holes and a sander for the concave grinding of the blades, nothing else!
I mainly make folding knives, which satisfy my desire to build perfect mechanical objects and perfection in the smallest details, even inside where they are not seen, is what distinguishes a knife created by hand, from one made industrially .

The mechanics then must be made in the best possible way, without counting the hours of work, only in this way the final result is guaranteed.

Of course, over the years I have refined my technique and currently I have improved the mechanics even more by inserting a system of ball bearings on the blade rotation, which guarantee an absolutely perfect seal and allow the blade to close and open without the slightest friction. and with an incredible sweetness.

With regard to the blades then, I am experimenting with new types of hardening, which give hardnesses of 62-63 HRC and allow an exceptional edge hold and cutting quality for all types of use.

I make practically all the knives on an initial design of mine, they are all unique pieces made completely by hand down to the smallest details, one at a time, only in this way, in my opinion, a knife can be considered "artisanal".

Regarding the materials I use, I can say that for the blades I prefer RWL34 steel which is sintered from powders and guarantees the total absence of internal defects, sometimes I also use damascus, both stainless steel and carbon, for the uniqueness 'that give the knife, since each damask is always different from another.

For the handles, one of the most beautiful materials is the mammoth tooth, which can be found in a variety of wonderful colors, I also use fossil mammoth ivory, various briars, titanium and carbon fiber.

Most of the knives, however, are made entirely of steel, in order to then be engraved, always and strictly by hand, to transform the knife even more into a real work of art ...

COMFORTABLE TO WEAR !

The features of this knife are pure pocket . For this reason, QUIET been designed without clip and button opener blade. The rounded lines , the size and weight extremely low compate add pleasure to the port.

PLEASURE OF USE

The introduction of PBL on QUIET gave him the opportunity to balance its proportions . The handle for 3 fingers and finger grooves give the grip strength . The new type of tooth wave , the edge with the outer radius and inner bevel , however , guarantee the accuracy Stillness of Use natural . Taken together, these features give the QUIETE a high ease of use.

HIGH LIGHT

The center of gravity of the knife is amazingly located in the area of the heart , central to the usual closable on the market . The amazing fact is that the handle with the PBL system weighs as much as the thin blade from 3mm filled with grinding . The straordinara lightness and solidity of QUIETE will give you an unforgettable experience .

SCREW ANTI-SLIP

In case you have the need to support the QUIET on the lives of the fulcrum , its design is great for a comfortable grip and non-slip . The increased size also deliver impressive structural stability to the knife . The focus of the screws and the whole industry are made with high-precision lathes with specific designs , in order to avoid games in the mechanism .

THE HOLE WITH WINGS WINGS PIVOT HOLE

This hole is introduced into the fulcrum knife nilte gives big advantages to the fluidity of movement of the blade. In fact, the seats are designed to be filled with lubricant in order to reduce the friction between the blade pivot and washers for smooth running at the highest levels .

CURVE LIFESAVER !

Nilte has introduced a new way of thinking about the pocket knife . The main concept is developed from which the design was the blade. The pocket knife would be useful in any occasion, for this reason, has been designed to QUIETE a blade sheepfoot . The main characteristic of this blade is in the fact of not having a sharp tip , but a curve that reaches the wire to decrease the risk of offending persons or damage objects accidentally .

SAFETY FIRST !

The closure of the knife with one hand is not always safe . At nilte has been studied a simple but effective solution , which is not imposed on the line and the functionality of the knife. As you can see , the blade has a ledge in the area prior to the wire , called the kick . This has the function , with the help of more advanced finger on the handle , to slow its closing stroke .

THE NAME

The first project was called QUIET nilte to all the features mentioned above . A knife that does not want to be aggressive , but quiet and useful for a use not extremely heavy, always a pleasure to take in your pocket , ready to help you live your experience in the best possible way.
