This one in AEB-L at RC 63, for all intents and purposes has a zero ground primary bevel with a robust convex tip bevel, radiused spine, and textured G10 and micarta handle. It is 1/16" camo G10 over 1/4" black canvas micarta. This G10 actually feels like micarta, not slippery like other G10. I scalloped the handle where the pinky rests before doing the dremel texturing, so this one is hand filling and ergonomic. A very confidence inspiring piece, and super comfortable in Filipino grip because of the radiused spine.

I'm really enjoying making tantos. I was actually a little sad to part with this one. I hope to make more of these.
