Default Tanto(not a double post)
Forged down from a 6 inch peice of 1095, 1 1/2 inch wide 3/8ths thick. A good bit of taper, I cleaned up the outline only on the grinder, all the bevels ans taper were forged in.

Thanks Man, you should see the actual pros though, they could pretty much polish the blade after heat treating all from a rough forged condition! I hav ground this one, i'll have some pictures up tonight.
