Greetings Bladeforums, here is a tanto with 1/4" thick 8670, just about the toughest knife steel going. It is quite light for its size, owing to the encapsulated hidden tang method of construction I used (more about that here if interested), and also quite sharp for such a robust blade. It will slice paper and shave hair easily. With its relative lightness, comfortable and grippy Suretouch handle, aggressive looking grind, and surprising cutting power, this no nonsense tanto will make a serious impression on anyone you bring it out for.
Specs
Steel: 1/4" 8670
Geometry: High flat-vex, .020" behind the edge
Overall Length: 10 1/2"
Cutting Edge Length: 3 1/2" main edge, 1 9/16" tanto tip edge
Weight: 10.1 oz
Handle: Black Suretouch (i.e. black G10 layered with rubber) with OD green canvas tang housing, camo G10 liners, and carbon fiber tubes.
Sheath: Black Boltaron taco sheath included
Price is $135, via itemized PayPal invoice, which I will send to your email address. Includes tracked and insured expedited North America shipping. I will ship internationally at buyer's expense. First "I'll take it" with comms gets priority. My email address is in my sig if you turn your phone sideways.
Thanks for looking!
