---=== Kuzuri Tanto {CPM 3v and sharkskin} ===---

[BenR.T.]

Hey guys up for grabs is my second Kuzuri Tanto. This one is basically the same blade profile as my Oregonto, but I stretched it out, added some sori and made the handle more hourglass shaped. This is the largest knife I have done in the grind/finish style. It's around .220" thick w/ a 8.5" blade. It is a nasty battle blade, that is razor sharp. Like most of my blades in this style, I take it down to around .005" on the edge before sharpening. This gives it a wicked edge that is easier to maintain and more durable than a full zero grind.

The sheath is of course a Hartsfield style, lined in kevlar and wrapped with some of the best shark skin I have seen.

My custom high performance heat treat for CPM 3v increases hardness, toughness and corrosion resistance over the industry standard HT.

Here are the specs.

OAL - 13.5"
Blade - 8.5"
Steel - CPM 3v with my custom, high performance heat treat. Including proper LN cryo.
Handle - Tsuka Ito with double copper menuki. It is soaked in marine grade epoxy and is solid and quite durable.
Sheath - Hartsfield aluminum sheath, wrapped in sharks skin and lined with kevlar.
Price - $900 + $20 Priority shipping with signature confirmation.
Paypal or postal money order preferred
