matt venier Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Here’s a Tanto I finished up recently. 9” blade 5.25” handle 17.5” overall. San Mai blade with W2 core and 750layer 1075/1045 sides with copper habaki. Bog oak handle and sayawith 100 layer 1075/15n20 damascus fitting with a rust colored braided handlewrap. There's no kissaki like an O-kissaki!http://www.venierdesign.com/Venier_Design_Inc./Welcome.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
