San Mai Tanto (SOLD OUT)
This is my latest tanto knife build. It is a hidden tang stainless san mai construction with a bronze bolster and african blackwood for the handle. The blade has a high contrast etch and the bolster is patinated with a dark finish and bright highlights on the edges and facets. I have been diving more into the japanese style and it has been really fun to see how my style plays out within the japanese knife genre. The subltle lines speak loudly and emphasizes the angles and simple flow of the design and materials. I will be making a matching African Blackwood Saya to go along with this piece.
The saya still needs to be made and it will be made on monday july 8th. The knife will be shipped after that. Each knife comes with a lasered Certificate of Authenticity card.
