Shawn Hatcher 3 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Such a cool piece, Wes. Sometimes the best ones come into the world kicking and screaming. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Viktor Johansson 19 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 (edited) Wes, fantastic piece! Very clean lines, great choice of steel, wood and tsuba material. It all goes together so well. This blade has a nice dynamic of dualities that harmonise; copper and wrought iron, bright and dark wood and then of course the hamon that divides the steel, bright and dark. Great beauty can be both a blessing and a curse so I think this tanto is also blessed. Edited August 6, 2017 by Viktor Johansson Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Colwell 143 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Wes, in time you will come to love that piece. It is worth the work. I have a couple like that. Fought me every step of the way, had to do everything (everything) at least twice, etc. That is beautiful, though. Elegant, clean, smooth. I really like it. Especially after seeing some of the bastard monstrosities that people call tantos these days (if you dare, look at other fora, it will be educational... like seeing a train wreck or a five-assed monkey). great! kc Link to post Share on other sites
Wes Detrick 487 Posted August 8, 2017 Author Share Posted August 8, 2017 It's funny that you say that Professor; I was just thinking yesterday that the more time that passes since I have finished the knife, the more I grow fond of it. I always know that folks on here will commiserate with those projects that are struggles. But I am glad you like it! I appreciate the compliments. As far as "American" tantos are concerned... a five assed monkey is right. lol I cant even say that without laughing (and I swear that must come from South Park with Dr Mephisto!)
