forged these 2 today , please dont notice how thin I got . Lost 50 lbs due to illness. I am getting stronger though .
These 2 are forged from 1075 from aldo . They are only sunobe ( Parly forge blade that just has outline and look of Tanto ) now but, I will work on refining them with small forging hammer maybe 1 lb. Plan on doing the full boat tanto, with traditional fittings and such .
I will post them up as I go through the process . The sori ( curve) is about 1.25 inches on each one
They are about 12.5 inches long . here s a few pics of my concentration camp lookin self , still doing my
thing for as long as I can ... Bubba ............. Like the haircut .
