9-1/2" tanto with hamon and wenge

Super nice. I love the various colors and textures.

Dammit I was about to say that exact same thing but Doyle beat me to it and then Erin beat me to the seconds

Interesting very well done piece

Sheath ?

Leather with wenge inlay and matching menuki. Working on it.


Thanks for the kind words, gang!

Matt, that is INSANE!!!

You are right about the wrought texture and clean blade together- a wonderful juxtaposition. The warmth of the gold tsuka-ito is perfect here, too. It is an inviting piece!

Outstanding. I'm on the "really like the various textures and colors" band wagon. Dozier

Matt you are really stepping up your game - love this one to pieces.

Wow ... Fantastic! I like everything about this knife!

 

[Matthew Gregory]

Thanks, gang.

FINALLY, I have the sheath done - it features a small inlay of oil finished wenge to match the handle, and the complementary crane menuki, as well. The menuki is adhered with an aerospace adhesive, as well as being drilled and tapped to anchor it in place.

Thanks again for looking!
