Barker Hokkaido

This is my first tanto design. I call it the Hokkaido after the Hokkaido Inu breed of dog pictured below. Specs are shown in my subforum. The grind was inspired by Bob Lum's work. I have always admired his tantos as I'm sure you have too.

John I really like how its rounded down towards the tip versus the more traditional boxy shape. You can just tell that blade is gonna be razor sharp..... very cool design.
