If you're a fan of Anders, you know that when it comes to the Japanese influenced knives, they tend to be fairly stubby Kwaikens, he makes those pretty frequently, as far as long, slender, quasi-traditional Tantos, well, this is the only I have come across, and it's very sweet.

Large for Anders, this Tanto has an 8.5" blade of 1050 carbon steel with a very complex and active Hamon, it was tough to get it to show in the pics, it is much more active and impressive in person.

Anders is known for using some primo materials, whether they be wood or ivory, the Olivewood burl he used on the handle and scabbard is off the charts, it is super glossy, even though again, the pics aren't really showing it very well, it's like the most amazing yellow, brown and tan glass. The throat is polished buffalo horn, and the hardware is all antiqued, sterling silver. The top of the blade is bevelled and semi-sharp, and it glides into the scabbard with precision.

I believe this one was priced originally a little under $2,000, don't remember the exact figure, but it was around $1800 I think.

First to email gets this pretty much one of a kind Hogstrom for $1525 shipped overnight.

This is just one of those knives that looks a lot nicer in person, so, the buyer will be very happy upon receipt, but if not, just send it back for a refund.

First to email me and say they'll take it gets it, Paypal OK, but I'll only ship to a confirmed address.

Thanks for looking.

This better be gone in the morning or I'll have to knock over a liquior store. I have one of Anders shorter kwaikens and I love the longer stuff. Whomever buys it will not be disappointed I guarantee. COME ON LOTTO!!
 
Wow, the last thing I want is for Severtecher to rob a liquor store to swing this Tanto, so, in the interests of saving he and his family a lot of grief, please, help us out here, someone buy this thing already, but now for just $1450 shipped, that's with the Bill's case, which costs around $35. :D You could not possibly be disappointed with this one, I promise, it is MUCH nicer than the pics are showing, some of the nicest wood I've seen. (If Severtecher buys it because of a lottery win, he has to pay the previous price though. :) )

OK, need the money, so, last reduction, knock off another $200, to $1195 shipped insured in a Bill's case. Won't go any lower. :grumpy: :)
 
Your killing me man! My wife just gave me the stink-eye 'cuz she saw me looking at this and I told her it was one of Anders. She said "NO ". My trucks A/C compressor just too a dump and it will be a $700 fix. Oh the horrors of this cruel cruel world.
