Hartsfield Strongboy Hommage

[Rossi Knives]

Hey Knifefans,

This was a commission from a customer that asked for a tanto in the style of Phil Hartsfield. I forged this out of W2 with a working polish and wrapped her in hard laid cotton twine. The sheath is molded veggie tanned, dyed in an oxblood color. I figured that the combination of glue soaked cord, really hard tool steel and the zero chisel grind hit all of the important points.

The pictures came out a bit dark. Would appreciate any comments.

Thanks for looking!

Nick

I'm thinking Mr. Hartsfield would approve of your work. Looks great! :thumbup:

Thank you, Danbo.

No dead 50 grit belt finish, but I tried to keep it real.
