My latest tanto EDC. 1080 steel. 5 1/2” OAL. 1 1/2” main cutting edge. Toxic green kirinite scales with G10 liners and pins. I ground it to 220 then put the scales on. After installing the scales I talked to Randy Lucius about his hand sanding technique. Randy gave me some great tips and also sent me one of Ed Caffreys sanding sticks that he had laying around. I decided to put it to use on this blade even though the scales were already installed. It’s not without its flaws but I think it turned out great and is my best work to date. A HUGE THANK YOU to Randy for all his help and for the sanding stick! I very much appreciate it!
