tanto/wakazashi progress

[Stacy E. Apelt - Bladesmith]

Heading out the door to the Moran Hammer-in.Thought I'd post the latest photos.The blade is not fatter at the end,just an illusion of the camera angle.This is just a quich test dip in the etchant to see the san mai.Tanto is done except the saya.
