hey everybody,
finished this up for a customer. he wanted an aikuchi tanto with teardrop sheath but left the rest up to me.
it is the W2 choji blade that i had up for sale awhile ago. the knife sold for $800
this is my first tanto like this. the whole thing is held together with a bras pin and is SOLID
Blade: W2
Sheath: Gunstock tiger maple and ebony
handle: Ebony, and rayskin covered maple
hard silver soldered habaki
take-down construction
critique wanted.

), but I love the overall look. Of course I love blade steel, but one thing I really look at is the overall look of the sheathed blade. And this looks fantastic! The only thing I would possibly do different is to make the ebony accent at the mouth of the sheath a mirror image of the accents on the tanto's handle. Other than that, (and even with that....) beautiful.
