Among all the fighters I have made so far, the Tricorne should be the purest and most efficient, despite is exotic design - and one of the most difficult to make, too.

It is about 9 5/8" long overall and has a 5 5/8" long blade, made of 1/8" thick Sverker 3 tool steel (one of only four I made of this steel, wich is an imporved K-100).
It is very light, highly concealed carry friendly thanks to its dropped handle, well balanced and suitable for multiple grip positions.
the handle is made of slabs of swamp wood (light and very strong) of a reddish color. Except that it makes a nice ahndle, I cañ´t tell much more about this wood. As usual, it is cord wrapped and resin soaked.
It has no sheath but comes with a nice black leather zippered padded case.

Ivan, sadly I am not in the market. However I do have a question. Is the swedge a false edge or is it sharpened? Thanks a lot and nice blade.
 
Thanks for your comments.
The top edge is as sharp as the main edge, and that´s where the name of the knife comes from. It has three "tips", the usual one, the secondary tanto tip and the last one at the end of the top edge.
