SOLD
This is a tanto by an unknown maker that I got from a forumite - nice knife but the spine was big & square so I rounded it an then dropped the tip to give it more of a point. The handle is red wrap over white rayskin. Balance is at the index-finger but just slightly towards the handle, making it a tad handle-heavy which I prefer for a small working knife.
The carbon-steel blade (type unknown) is 4 3/4" long by 3/16" thick at the spine (almost to the tip), overall length is 8 3/4." I added some thumb-jimping at the spine for traction. The blade finish was a bit rough so I sanded to 600 grit but then needed to re-etch to bring out the hamon and was not totally successful - it's there but not pronounced. So it has a working finish, could use some TLC with sandpaper I just haven't gotten back to it.
Comes with nice kydex sheath with mini tek lok.
$90 shipped & paypalled.
