My Tanto often stay works in progress, because their finishing is so time-consuming. I still enjoy making them, however, and I'll be updating this page with some of the ones I have in progress as soon as I can... |

| Ray-Skin Tanto. Hand-forged from ½ inch round silver steel, clay tempered, hand rubbed to 1200 grit, and etched to show the hamon. The tsuka is Maccassar ebony, with fuchi and kashirae of grey ray skin. Maccassar saya (later had a ray-skin throat added for strength). The tsuba is Maccassar ebony, and the copper seppa is much heavier than usual to allow for this. The habaki is polished brass. SOLD |

| This is a tanto I'm not working on at the moment: I'm very pleased with the blade, but I'm unlikely to get time to finish the fittings in the foreseeable future... |
|
I have quite a few tantos on the go right now, so check back soon, or email to see what I have coming up...
