Claudio's version of a tanto, another example of his great talent.

I'm no expert but I recon he has absolutely nailed the shape of the blade and flow through the handle. Another stunner.
 
The sori and the belly of the blade look devastatingly good.
Very cool, Claudio.
Thanks, Greg.

STeven, I think we left enough material in the right shape to make a saya a viable option. I am going to give a try.

The handle will probably need to be set back a bit so you don't run into the grind, but there should be enough material left to pull it together. Very similar in appearance to the things Scott Slobodian does.
