I'm waayyy behind on finishing up the last of my orders, but I just finished the sheath up on this one. It is about 3/16 thick, hollow-ground and has a leather sheath w/ tek-lok (forgot to get the specs before heading out the door this morning :o )

Thanks for checking it out --

I tried to get that stuff off with flitz, but it wouldn't go anywhere. :D
 
Michael - I continue to search for the ideal tanto (IMHO) and I think your knives look outstanding. How do they stand up to use - does anyone use them? I think a slightly more acute tip angle would make the knife a very useful tool. Also, what are your lead times like please? Thanks and once again can I say what a beauty!
 
Beautiful work Michael. If can make mine that purty I'm just gonna hack down trees with it anyway :D
 
Big Bird -- I hope folks are using them, otherwise all that heat-treating is for naught! :D I like working on hamons and such, but I make working knives first and formost. But, I'm no longer taking orders for blades. I will still be making them, but it will be a "first come, first serve" situation.



Thomas -- I hope that you'll be able to tear through the woods in style with my blade! :D
 
Very jap/ tac/ hillbilly/ omish ! Seriously very cool.
 
Thanks Jody :D -- did you get my email awhile ago?
