Hey everyone, The Persian-style knife is an ancient design that’s enjoyed a recent resurgence in popularity. Though modern users are (hopefully) not using them for their original purpose of piercing chain mail, the blade profile is just as useful for modern everyday carry as it was on the battlefield. This is our first collaboration to feature the classic Persian style, but it’s our second with legendary knife maker Bob Terzuola. It was an honor and a pleasure working with Bob again, who was gracious in allowing us to interpret his gorgeous custom Persians with over 4" blades into something a bit more pocket-friendly for our EDC-oriented community. Our first collaboration, the Compact Tactical Folder (CTF), is a smaller, slimmer, and straighter blade than this big-bellied Persian. Based on community feedback from some of the 1700+ members who have picked up a CTF so far, the only consistent thing identified as needing improvement was that edges of the G-10 scales felt a bit sharp. So, for the Cyrus, we’ve worked with our partners at WE Knife to round off the corners a bit more to keep the grip comfortable. The Cyrus is also the first collaboration to feature our new custom Drop-branded pivot hardware. Based on consistent member feedback about laser markings on the blades, we knew it was time for a change. So, this new CNC-machined pivot screw has replaced the laser-marked branding on the blade surface that we’ve used on most prior Blades collabs. Even when you’re working with industry pioneers like Bob, member feedback has made some crucial improvements on the design. Thanks to the members who supported past launches and gave some great feedback to help improve this latest design. We hope you like the new look. As always, a few housekeeping notes as we get started: * Quantities for the pre-order are limited to 600 units. * The limited time pre-order price will be $160 for your early support and will only apply to this pre-order production run, ending on 5/29. * The regular price will be $200. Thanks for checking out the Cyrus, we hope you think it’s great! Carry On -- Jonas

JonasHeinemanI think some people are really going to like the lack of Massdrop/Drop branding on the blade

Thanks again Jonas for listening to customer feedback. Although I am not a fan of the blade style I am excited on future releases from DROP having the new design. The pivot is definitely way better than the markings on the blade. Feels more custom in my opinion.

BenjaboolyYeah I know - there's potential for lefty versions once they are in the store, but we couldn't do reversible clip on this. CC: @halflife78

JonasHeineman> Based on community feedback from some of the 1700+ members who have picked up a CTF so far, the only consistent thing identified as needing improvement was that edges of the G-10 scales felt a bit sharp. So you listened real hard last September, and your conclusion was that... the scales are too sharp.

JonasHeinemanHaha, literally what I came here to ask (about the blue clip that is). Well, I'm sold, all my knife preferences in one knife.

JonasHeineman I really like the new platform for rolling items out with a chance for early buyers to get a great deal at 20 percent off what will be the eventual price (and I'm sure it will still be worth every penny). I know you had promised that future collaborations would give more transparency on the pricing from the beginning and this shows you guys have followed through. Thanks for listening to our feedback after the price increases of the crux, gent and buc. I have come to agree that all three are worth the prices they have been adjusted to. But I do like how on this item I can save 20 percent for getting in early rather than feel like im paying an extra 20 percent later if I dont. Thanks Jonas

JonasHeinemanThis looks really good. Is the MCF version limited to a certain number in any way before the end of the drop period? I'm in for the pre production price but really dont want to miss out on this one bc I waited til the end of the month as I had planned to join.

JonasHeinemanCuriosity is getting the better of me again..... If lefty models are made available in the future, will they also be given a limited time run at a discounted price? Or released straight at full blown retail?
