Blacked Out 5160 Tanto! Sold, Thanks!

[Daniel Fairly Knives]

Check out this Shobu Zukuri tanto in .36" 5160 steel!

A tanto can be one of many styles, this is a Shobu Zukuri because of the lack of ridge line and tip grind. (I think )


12.75" Total Length
4.75" of Wrapped Handle
.36" 5160 Steel
Full Flat Asymmetrical Double Plungeless Grind - Right Hand Oriented
Double Polished Secondary Bevel
Etched Finish
Stingray Leather Under Epoxy Soaked Wrap

I refined the grain of the steel through several cycles and left the RC high at around 60 for a tough and long lasting edge. This one is a cutting machine!

No sheath is included but I can make one in Kydex for $25 more. Leather is also an option.

Sold! was $275 shipped - I prefer paypal for payment, my address is danielfairlyknives@gmail.com for paypal and email. International shipping is extra. Please make sure your address is current and include a note "5160 Tanto." Thanks!

As always I back my work 100%. Just let me know if you have any questions!












pollen on the blade... I had to clean the lens twice! You can see how the rounded spine transfers to the tip...

I have to bump this one due to it's awesomeness. And I can't believe I missed this one! My absolute favorite large blade from you hands down.

And if the new owner finds a need to get a new home for it, I will gladly adopt it...just sayin'!

Pics of knife and sheath! And design from sketch to drawing to final product!

Need to see more Japanese influenced knives.. but more like this and that flat grind cleaver.. Basically a "set" of knives all similar in style that a "samurai" would have in a closet hung up ready for use... So "he'd" have THIS, a cleaver in black, a waki... koga... a few swords... perhaps a few other specific use knives and weapons with edges...

DRINK!
