    Chain San Mai Tanto

    Another tanto, this time for a local customer.

    San Mai damascus in 1070 and 52100 from a motorcycle distribution chain, with a 52100 core.
    8" blade, 13" overall. Handle in home made black and red micarta, with a copper / SS decorative pin. Nickel silver / copper mokume habaki and copper tsuba.

    Teaser pic, I'll get nicer ones soon

    "If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your council or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen."

    stunning...

    Brother...I'm at a loss for words, man...sublime, stunning, sleek and sensuous... makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up! (little detail on the butt; kinda looks like a devil face!)And the subtle detail on the scabbard is a beautiful touch.

    Beautiful work, everything about that knife just looks amazing. Good lines, colors, and the pattern in the blade looks great, looks like something Ive sen before but cant put my finger on it. Damn, tahs going to bug me, maybe it was something in an Anime movie?
