Japanese tanto

[Chuck Gedraitis Knives]

With all the cool Hamons being posted lately I figured I would play around with one. The blade has 7 inches of cutting edge and is 11-3/4inches overall made form 1095. Differentially heat treated with a great hamon. The underwrap is fossil mammoth ivory and the wrap is flat black cord. The wrap has been resin impreginated. The saya is ebony.
Thanks for looking,
Chuck

Now that is very cool -- love solid "underlay" pieces. :thumbup:

You did a real good job on this one, Chuck. You should however go to your website and proof read the description. There are all kinds of typos.

The hamon looks great and I very much like how you did the mammoth ivory.

Thanks Keith, I'm tired!
