Inazuma Tanto
« on: December 05, 2014, 05:30:00 PM »
Hey everyone! Been super busy with orders, but I have a small show coming up this weekend and I wanted to bring something cool. This is a pointier version of my AP Tanto. The blade is hand rubbed 3v with a hammered copper spacer and 6al4v Ti Guard. The Menuki are Super conductor in a Diamond shape reminiscent of stingray. The wrap is epoxy soaked and is extremely durable. The underwrap is black hemp cord.
OAL is 14" 3/8" with a 9" blade. It is .275" at the spine.

The sheath is a little different. It is made to be worn sash style under your belt, but could be also mounted with a Tek Lok, Molle Lok or horizontal belt loops. It is Kydex lined with synthetic suede and has just the right amount of retention, and draws smoothly.

Thanks for looking!!

Very Nice Work all around  Knife and the pictures. I really like the way you use the copper accents on our knives.

I think you have "something cool" alright. I really like the whole package. I'm looking at your sheath, I need to do something like that for my old USN diving knife.

How is that handle material for cleaning. Looks like it would be a pain to get blood or gunk out of? Really like the looks of the knife, just what I have been looking for to attatch to my backpack.

Thanks so much everyone!!

The handle is epoxy soaked, so it could be washed if needed.
