Matt Lamey's Tanto with a nose-job

Santi · Mar 26, 2007

BEFORE: It's regular blasted tanto with cord-wrap. The lower one in this pic.

AFTER: A good friend of mine re-do the handle wrap, and make a new sheath (inspired by Mr.Tai Goo's style of scabbard.) And hand-rub the blade.

It looks a lot better, eh?

Right on. I was thinking Matt could do all that--it would just cost a bit more

Your friend did a helluva job...I was about to ask about the origin of the sheath till I reread the caption. I love Tai's work. :thumbup:

Did you regrind the entire blade or just the tip? Looks great!

Beautiful!!

Great looking users there friend! Personally though, the bolo really makes me drool as it reminds me of the styles back here with "nature's G10": carabao/water buffalo horn for handles! I think it also deserves a SE-Asian style open scabbard.
