Stormcrow Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 I've been working on these in between other projects for the last couple of months or so. Although all three are tantos with similar handles, they are all pointed in different directions. The top and middle two are forged from 5160, and the bottom one is forged from 1084. All three have neoprene foundations under the wrap, followed by black and coyote tan paracord, and hardened with West System marine epoxy. All three have coyote tan Kydex sheaths. All three shave hair nicely. The Westernized tanto has a blade length of 7 3/8" and an overall length of 12 3/4". It's a stout blade with spine that starts at 1/4" and tapers distally to the tip. The double edged kwaiken has a blade length of 6 3/8" and an overall length of 11 1/4". Veeeeery pointy tip and fully sharpened top edge would work well in pikal techniques. This drop-point tanto has a blade length of 5 7/8" and an overall length of 11". Light and quick in the hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
