Slim Tanto

[tobinsmith]

This is an attempt at a somewhat more traditional tanto. It's pretty long and slim, and has a nice feel.

It has a nice hamon, copper blade collar, and stainless guard. The handle is made from Texas Ebony.

No sheath, but I can make a leather sheath for extra.

Price for this beauty is $150 and includes shipping to US48. Paypal is preferred.

Overall length is 15 1/8"
blade, tip to guard, is 9"


Thanks for looking!

Very nice!

What steel is the blade made from? Where's the point of balance located on this one?

 

[tobinsmith]

Thanks, woodgood. The steel is 1095 and the balance is on the blade collar just forward of the guard.

Oh snap, I did forget the measurements...

It's 15 1/8" overall and the blade, from tip to guard, is 9"

Super nice! It would look amazing with a wood sheath of same type and size as the handle, traditional-style.
