Primal/tactical o-tanto

Nice work Storm, I love to weapons made from 5160, I think its and underrated steel that isnt used enough. Its hard to judge scale but how does that handle feel in the hand, it looks like it may be a bit small in circumference. Did you heat treat the blade? and if so, what do you think the RC is on it?
 
It's comfortable to me, and I have fairly sizeable hands. I heat treated it myself, but have no means of testing Rockwell. It's a good-performing heat treatment, but I don't have any numbers to attach to it. I love 5160; nice and tough, holds an edge well, easy to resharpen when the time comes, heat treats easily. It's good stuff. :)
