He showed me his folding version of the Shabaria, and I had not heard of the knife before. after visiting several museums and seeing some collections, I learned that the Shabaria was a common design in the Jordan valley beginning in 203 AD. In fact, when we introduced the design, many of the knife "experts" had also not heard of the design and some interesting discussions followed. I have one that I brought back and right now it's "lost" in one of the boxes in my office. When Ii find it, I'd like to make a brochure showing the originals and the Spyderco version.

			''Eduard also designed the Original credit card model. He was assassinated in the west bank by Hamas before his models were released. They burned his body and his car and he was identified by the prototypes of the Shabaria and the credit card knife, which he was carrying at the time. He was survived by his wife and 2 sons. We still send royalties to the family when we make a sprint.''<ref>From the Spyderco.com discussion forum thread [https://forum.spyderco.com/viewtopic.php?p=1289994&sid=d9552b61ddabbc9f30bec8da3c40ae2e#p1289994 \| 'Ethnic series - complete listing']</ref>

			'''C59 Shabaria gray G-10 sprint:'''

			"''This limited-edition Sprint Run™ version of the Shabaria proudly resurrects one of our rarest and most exotic designs. Originally released in 1999, the Spyderco Shabaria was designed by the late Israeli knife designer, jeweler, and gunsmith Eduard Bradichansky. It was based on the traditional ethnic knife of the Bedouins, a predominantly desert-dwelling Arab group that, until recent times, lived as nomads. Also known as the Shibriya and believed to have originated in the Jordan Valley around 300 CE, it had a distinctively curved blade and hourglass-shaped handle and served as both a weapon and a symbol of social status within the Bedouin culture.''

			''Produced in limited quantities, this version of the Shabaria faithfully maintains all the remarkable qualities of Bradichansky’s original design, while expressing them in a unique, one-of-a-kind format. Its sinuous blade is saber-ground from VG-10 stainless steel and features a Trademark Round Hole for easy one-handed opening. The blade is supported by a sturdy LinerLock mechanism housed within the knife's distinctive hourglass-shaped handle, which features textured gray G-10 scales and a classic three-screw pocket clip configured for right-side, tip-down carry.''"
