Been working on these on the side (gotta keep my sanity somehow :D). Lifter was kind enough to send me a little shark skin so I figured I ought to make a "Shark Tanto." It is 11 1/2 inches overall with a 6 1/4-inch cutting edge of 1/4-thick, hollow-ground 1095. I made a damascus "sharks tooth" menuki to go with the skin. Will come with a kydex or leather sheath of your choice.

I can do paypal (please add 3-percent), money order or check.

Price: $SOLD shipped.

Next up is a blade (just the top one is available) that I wanted to be a bit more "primitive." I left the heat-treated finish on the flats and hand-rubbed the bevels. The top one is a hollow-ground pocket Dao out of 3/16-thick 1095. It has a cutting edge a little less than 2 1/4 inchs and is 5 1/2 inches overall. It has a brown rayskin underlay and comes with a kydex sheath.

Price: $175
