1084 Tanto

[Darrin Sanders]

Seeing Josh Mason's work inspired me to make this blade. It is made from Aldo's 1/4" 1084, has a slightly visible hamon and a 600 grit hand rubbed finish. The handle wrap and sheath are by Josh Mason. I have to say that Josh's work is even nicer in person. I originally planned on selling it but now I'm not so sure. Thanks Josh.

I like it. Very clean finish, nice profile. And the touch of LA in the handle sets it off.

I like! I really need to learn to wrap handles like that.

Thanks guys. William, as soon as you learn how you can teach me. HEHEHE All kidding aside, I can't say enough about Josh's work. This is one of the "grippiest" feeling knives I've ever held in my hand.

I like it, very clean. The fleur de lis is cool.

Thank you Darrin for letting me be a part of this project. It was very cool to have such a big hand rubbed blade in my presence. Very nervous...lol. It practically wrapped and sheathed itself. The big blade made for probably the easiest sheath I've done.

Thanks again Darrin, and thank you all for such nice and encouraging comments.
