Hey everyone! Been super busy with orders, but I have a small show coming up this weekend and I wanted to bring something cool. This is a pointier version of my AP Tanto. The blade is hand rubbed 3v with a hammered copper spacer and 6al4v Ti Guard. The Menuki are Super conductor in a Diamond shape reminiscent of stingray. The wrap is epoxy soaked and is extremely durable. The underwrap is black hemp cord.
OAL is 14" 3/8" with a 9" blade. It is .275" at the spine.

The sheath is a little different. It is made to be worn sash style under your belt, but could be also mounted with a Tek Lok, Molle Lok or horizontal belt loops. It is Kydex lined with synthetic suede and has just the right amount of retention, and draws smoothly.

Thanks for looking!!

Damn!

I like it...I like it a lot
 
It's interesting, and a significant improvement over the last version, imo, Ben.

That is all that anyone can ask.

I particularly like the hammered copper "seppa" and superconductor "menuki".

"Inazuma" means lightning.

In my training, it is a Chuden(defense against attacks by one or more opponents)
cut from Hasegawa Eishin ryu Iaiheiho.

Best Regards,

STeven Garsson

Great as always. DO you by any chance have some detail shots of the sheath construction?

It is a basic fold over style, but with a synthetic suede liner.

I love the finishes on everything, tasteful and well done.

What's the thickness? 1/4"?
