Some tanto-ish blades

[McAhron]

All are forged 1070,clay and oil quenched,oil bath tempered.The blade collars(habaki) are copper.The large one has bocote,the next has amboyna,the first octagon handle is Cambodian blackwood and the other is coocbola.All stabilized.All the furniture is stainless with hidden pins to add strength and keep every thing aligned.They all have hamon but I choose to only acid etch the blackwood one.

Very nice!:thumbup: :thumbup: I love traditional tanto blades VS the Americanized versions

Thanks Tanto Fiend.I too prefere a more traditional style.

Not that I'm biased toward a particular blade style or anything like that.......

Keep up the good work
