Hey guys!
I just finished up a new design and I snapped a few quick pics to share. This is a shrunk down version of my standard 9" blade Ronin tanto. At only 7" blade length, this one is a bit more edc friendly. The blade is .275" cpm 3v and is fitted with a hammered copper seppa and menuki. The guard is double anodized titanium for an antique copper look. To round out the package I made a shark skin wrapped aluminum sheath. It has a matching titanium bead on the static line as well. Pretty happy with how it turned out.








 
Faaaah-reakin beautiful Ben!
Your style of Tanto is definitely my favorite, the spine fuller just sets them off so well.
The guard looks awesome as well, for a 7" blade it looks very comfortable.
 
Very nice tango...if this is just a quick set up for snap shots, I can't wait to see what the pics will be like when you have time to set up properly. Good job in both knife making and photography.
 
Thanks for all the kind words guys, I really appreciate it. I am finishing one more of these tomorrow. I'll post up more pics of it also, probably go with some sweet bison hide on the sheath.
 
Thanks Joe. :thumbup:

Here is the second one, pretty much the same. The guard is heat colored on this one, and the sheath is wrapped in gorgeous Horween bison leather. This one is headed to the exchange shortly.
