Very nice looking tanto.What is the O/A and the blade length? The copper looks like it goes very well with the wood.

Total length 40 cm, length blade 25,5 cm.
O/A WHAT IS?

 

[Robert Marotz]

O/A = overall, but you already stated that

I really like the steel of the blade, but I do prefer a more traditional style. However, the lines are quite clean and the piece looks well made.

By the way, the habaki (metal collar)...how was that made and fitted? It is hard to see clearly but the edge of the habaki looks like it sticks out a little further than the blade edge. It might just be the picture, but I am a little curious.

Nice work

I have simply used a method similar to the trdizionale. I have gained a detention step on the blade, I have sagomato to hammer blows copper on the blade therefore I have joined for welding. I have polished all and as a habaki true it can be paraded after to have removed the handle and the Tsuba.
ciao
