Took the day off from any serious work and just played in the shop. Worked on some different angle chisels and what not just to see how they look and ended up with the idea of making this :D. Need to polish up the bevel some but was a fun little knife to make! Its a steep 20 degree grind which id was hoping for 15 ish but 15 got rid of too much of the file markings which was kinda a major point for the knife. Might have to make some more with different angles and see how they turn out.

Thanks! First tanto. First wrapped handle. First file knife. Was alot of firsts and just kinda fun to do. I kinda have some ideas where i could improve it and maybe make it better overall.
