Hey friends! A while back I sat down and wanted to design a new Tanto model. My previous versions have had a straighter profile with a gentler curve to the tip.
With this one I was inspired by the tanto master himself Mr. Bob Lum. I am by no means comparing my work to his, but just giving credit where it is due.
The Blade is Hand rubbed CPM 3V. It has a nice distal taper in the front 1/2" of the blade and is .290" at the guard. The balance point is right on the ricasso. It feels very quick in hand. The guard is Titanium with a multi anodized/textured finish and the spacer and menuki are hammered copper.
I made a nice little copper belt stud for the Bison front, hand stitched sheath.
(Pretty happy with these pictures too!)
This one will be going with me to the Gathering in Vegas at the beginning of next month.
Any and all comments and critiques are welcome. Thanks for looking!
