Tanto in Ivory

[R.Carpenter]

Many, many hours spent on the walrus ivory handle.Carving is the Japanese fire dragon.I did the blade out of 1084.Left the guard rather simple so as not to over whelm the blade and handle.Handle is 7 1/4 inches with the blade being 8 1/2 inches.No its not for sale.Thanks for taking a look.....R.Carpenter
