O1 Tanto For Jeff Little

[Knifemaker87]

this is a knife Jeff Little commissioned me to make.

He wanted it based off of this knife:

only he wanted it made from 1/4" O1
the hande 4" long blade 3 1/2" and a wrapped handle.
and he wanted a bevel on the tip
and it needed to be mirror polished
and he didnt want the knife differentially tempered (like the one in the pic)

the result was:

let me know what you think

Hey, Chris, I wondered where you've been. Beautiful, as always. That's one blade that is NOT going to break!

BTW, here's the knife I got from Chris...

thanks Ed!
yeah... it isnt gonna bend either...
would work real good with a Kydex sheath.

Chris, I bought kydex from texas knifemakers years ago. When I restock I will buy from ROB!(45min away). I don't go through enough to buy bulk but I know they make 4'x8' sheets of it. A 12"x12" sheet was $5 or so.(it has probably doubled in price like everything else) Don't forget to get some hardware too.(rivets,chicago screws, foam)

(nice wrap job!)

(and and i just posted pics of the next knife i finished)
thanks
