"Last Will" Tanto

[BenR.T.]

This a new "tribal" style tanto that I just finished. It not a traditional tanto, but more of my interpretation.
I did this one in in 5160 and gave it an antiqued finish, and a browned guard. The handle is actually a full tang, but slightly stepped for the guard. It has a hemp underwrap and brown Tsuka Ito. Oal is 15.5", with a 10" blade.
All comments welcome.

Nice work Ben, the antiquing really suits the design. Just a personal thing I really don't like guards, if this had no guard like your previous kwaiken's, I'd be sending an inquiry on price. Very nice work.

With a knife that size I really like the look of the guard!
