Hey guys, I just finished up these two blades this week and managed to take some pics of them before I ship them out.
The first one, although by size is short for a tanto. I am still calling it one. It is based on my Inazuma tanto, it was requested without a fuller and with a full height grind. This lends to a very nice distal taper in the 6" blade. The guard is Titanium, with hammered copper and menuki. The requested hand stitched leather sheath has some nice Horween bison hide on the front.

The second knife, my Shinobi Tanto, has around a 12" blade. This is an absolute beast of a blade.
