I like the ferrules, if that is the correct term in this case. Have been thinking about a similar arrangement for a puukko soon to be in the works. Also really like the pinned wooden sheath.

Thanks for the comment Perrin.
I think you are talking about the fuller, a beveled groove on the blade.
 
No I originally thought the horn pieces were blued metal. If that were the case it would seem more like a ferrule than a guard. But they are bone so what is that called, a spacer?

I do like the fuller though. Or should we call that a Hi in this case?

Very nice--cool take on the Japanese tanto, Samurai culture meets 1840's US frontier...
 
Man that is such a cool take on a tanto! I love everything about it, especially how you blended in that tanto tip (yakote) to give is just enough "crispness" but not over power the blade. Awesome sheath too, I can't see a seam on in no matter how hard I look! Thanks for sharing man :)
