February 25, 20179 yr San mai of wrought iron shell with 15N20 and 1095 cutting edge. Handle window contains LEGO bricks tumbled at random angles before being sanded down to show their cross-sections. Black cotton ito with 3d printed cast brass menuki. I've been having a lot of fun with these window knives, and have another half dozen in the works.
February 25, 20179 yr I saw your WIP video on this and thought it looked really cool. Nice to see how it turned out.
February 25, 20179 yr Beautiful knife, well executed; but I have to ask why you call it a tanto? I remember the craze a couple of decades ago where *everything* was a tanto---in the Knives annual they even had a "viking tanto" and so am a bit gunshy of the term applied to blades.
February 25, 20179 yr 56 minutes ago, TheoRockNazz said: ... it vaguely rhymed with LEGO... haha That's a better justification than most. Another beautiful knife Theo, I love the contrast between the edge and shell. I'm thinking folk making RR spike KSOs should call them Tontos. Tonto's knife was forged from a RR spike taken from the evil robber baron's rail road. Just thought of that and I needed to get out or I'd forget it as soon as I started reading the next post. What's next? Frosty The Lucky.
February 25, 20179 yr Really cool Theo! it's sort of funny that they are legos, with the blue under the wrap looks at first glance to be gemstones or something Man would a nicely laid out feather look great in one of those handles.
February 26, 20179 yr Author Frosty, there are a lot of window blades with animal heads and wacky integral guards coming soon, just you wait Das, Legos are precious to me, haha. I love the feather idea, gotta try that.

February 26, 20179 yr I guess, if you get lost, Legos would be better entertainment than a couple feet of paracord.
March 1, 20179 yr Man, Theo, you keep one upping yourself dude, another beauty! BTW a couple weeks back, they finally aired your episode of FIF up here, congrats on the win! It was awesome to watch, even though I read all the spoilers on here. Viking
