Tanto in CPM154

[Josh Mason]

Just wanted to show you guys what I've been up to. I'm particularly proud of this blade. It almost put itself together. No cussing or throwing anything out here in the backyard like I usually do lol. This is the second time I have performed a heat treat on stainless steel, and I just love the way this stuff behaves in the heat, and at the grinder.

Special shoutout to Matt Gregory and Ben Tendick for their continued support and tutelage. I can't say enough good things about those fellas. Anyway, hope you guys like this one!

That's an hysterical shout-out, Josh - I would have thought WE were the ones indebted to you!

Great work on this piece, bud. The Turks head knot makes it for me. They always do!!! :thumbup:

 

[Mitchell Knives]

Super clean.

Wicked. Sleek. Modern.
Great style upgrade on a timeless classic!

Amazing craftmanship

Very nice Josh!
Most people don't know but Josh is literally a shade tree knifemaker, dragging his grinder into his backyard to work!
I have a hard enough time making knives with all the tools and space I have! Josh is knocking them out of the park.

Love your work! Even if this would be awkward for a lefty like me.

 

[JParanee]

Super clean and very nice but it's not a Tanto

 

[Lycosa]

It's a kanto.

 

[Darrin Sanders]

Clean as usual Josh. Glad to see you're still at it but hate to hear that you're associating with Matt. I hope he doesn't corrupt you.
