Custom Tanto

[Mk-211]

Been waiting on this amazing tanto for awhile. Joe knocked it out of the park with this one!

22 layer suminagashi with a san mai core of Hitachi blue steel. Joe then went crazy polishing the blade.

The guard is made from the same steel, we talked about a pommel, Joe talked me out of it. He said a more traditional style, would look better. With those antique emerald micarta scales, I couldn't agree more!

Very nice...though to my mind "jade" is more in keeping with the region and pedigree.

Enjoy it no matter what you call it.

(I'm not too far from his location, I may have to stop by at some point in the future.)

It's a good thing, that he's 3000 miles away.

"Look brother, I like that you visit daily but, I have knives to make!!!"

Yes, made to about the same dimensions, as the original CS tanto's.
