tantofolder Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 Just wanted to share my recent forging.Made from a rail spike,this is my second try at making a knife. Cheers, tanto Quote
Willis Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 Its a very good looking knife, but I dont think its in the traditional tanto style. I'd personaly use it as a skinner. Quote
KST1-Derek Fultz Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 Willis, I don't think he was calling the knife a tanto. Based on his user name, I think he was signing out. Either way, nice looking spike knife. I like the deep irregular twist in the handle and the little curly scroll from the spike head/pommel. Really nice for only your second try. -Derek Quote
CurlyGeorge Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 I think it would make a nice skinner. I like it. :) Quote
Steve Sells Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 Its a very good looking knife, but I dont think its in the traditional tanto style. I'd personaly use it as a skinner. Technicaly the word tanto is Japanese for small knife :D Quote
Iron Striker Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 Very nice design. I like the handel detail as well. Quote
tantofolder Posted October 19, 2011 Author Posted October 19, 2011 Thanks for all the positive feedback guys!And yes,tantofolder is just an alias I took long before I ever made a knife because that's my everyday carry. Quote
