#1, although the amount of edge drop and recurve is a bit extreme on all of them. I prefer a nice deep belly for good cutting action, exactly like the one Bob Lum did for me.
 
Ok, I'll try again with an even more 'traditional' style tanto.

(What I wound't do for a good CAD program....)

Ok, here are my favorites so far... there are 2 new designs, a more traditional tanto design that is.
All have be 're-handled' with my '3-minute mock up' of the MT tachyon handles :)

As you can see, I have nothing better to do this morning... actually, I do, but I love doing this :)

yeah I think you're right. I'm not much of an Americanized tanto fan. And I would never dream of using Paint it always kicks my butt.
