First is a larger tanto sized knife in W2 with epoxy treated silk ito over rayskin and a leather core to round out the handle profile.

The OAL is 11 5/6" and the blade from wrap to tip is 7". Spine thickness at the base of the blade is 7/32".

Sheath in brown leather cross draw style. This was oiled this morning so the colours are bound to even out with some time.

I'd like to get
$old for this one










I also have a couple kwaikens for sale. These are reposted as the sheaths are done and I've lowered the price.


Both are W2 with epoxied paracord over rayskin.


The slimmer pointy one has a 3 1/2" blade and is 7 1/2" OAL. asking $225

The one with the sword type tip is a little bigger at 3 5/8" blade and just under 7 3/4" OAL. asking $old (priced a little lower as I did some work after the wrap and there's some slight clean up marks near the blade/wrap junction..)

Both come with a slim pocket style leather sheath in black.

It's been over four hours and I'm going to be the first to say that large tanto is a work of art? It's stunning, really, and frankly is a steal at the price.
 
All of them are very nice Stuart. I really like the profile on the sword tip Kwaiken.
