Tanto Dressed in Carbon Fiber and Silk

[fod]

Blade from Chris Moss aka knifemaker87

I laid up the Carbon Fiber and Copper colored silk laminate for the handle and saya and made up the habaki. Take down construction with brass pin. Takedown hole lined with copper tubing. Very tight construction:thumbup:

Just a bit more polishing to do, then off to market

Thanks for looking!

Thanks Eric.

I am having a lot of fun and learning a lot with this one, in spite of the time commitment (I only went at this one when truly motivated, I did not want to rush it and muck it up)
