Coffee Tanto with a bit of cream

[AVigil]

Here is an S35VN 8" blade 13" OAL Tanto I am working on. The handle has some black stingray and a dragon menuki, coffee ito cord with a Turkshead knot to top it off (the cream ).

The guard is 416 Stainless with a hammered face and back. The blade has a satin machine finish with a nice swedge.

I am in the process of coming up with an idea of the saya.

Thanks for looking guys forgive the photography but I did try to get it from all side to get a good view of it.
