Tanto #10

[Takedasamurai]

Hello, Please let me introduce myself. My name is Chris Tidwell. I was trained by Jimmy Fikes. I am currently making knives using the principles he taught me. As many of you know about Jimmy's work, no knife leaves the shop without being tested for sharpness and strength. I have Tanto #10 made from 1095. 8 1/2" blade, 14" overall, 1/4" thick. No sheath. $450 + $25 for shipping Fedex Ground. I take checks or Paypal with added fees. Thank you. Sold. Thank you, everyone for the kind words.

I thought I should make something clear to everyone. This knife on this page was made by me in Jimmy Fikes shop, using his equipment and tools and my materials. Jimmy taught me to make knives for 3 years, for which I am thankful. Jimmy's wife Maggie, her friend Dorothy and I were making knives under Fikes II up until the first of August. I decided to part ways with Jimmy and to leave Fikes II. The knives are not being sold under Fikes II going foward. I have a few including this one that were made in Jimmy's shop left over which I am selling. I am in no way whatsoever taking credit for the design, or anything of the sort. As it is not my design. I wanted to make this statement to avoid upsetting Jimmy which is the furthest thing that I want to do.
