This was made from the other half of the tanto kiridashi. Chisel/convex ground on the right hand side, opposite of Emersons. Hardened with MAPP gas and tempered for 20 minutes at 400* F inside my wife's toaster oven. I'm working on the sheath right now.

WIP on the sheath...

Ended up giving the kiridashi to my father in law for an early fathers day gift. He did give me the files after all.
