knives , finnished and blanks

[midnight 657]

two blanks to start with . both made from files one a farriers file so its thick ! (hunter)

forged on charcoal and worked by hand from there . the tanto is 4mm thick and has 5" long (blade) the hunter is a blade lenght of 4" long .

they are both heat treated and tempered so will hold a good edge "

both roughly sanded after heat treating to give you an idea , they both woul;d look good finnished in 400gr , but i took it higher for the pics .

i want £20 for the tantosold and £25 of the hunter .

these are all advertised else where so if you want them pm and i will let the first to say " i want that" will have it

 

i dont get online more than every 2 days so will maybe have a delay . if i get on tommorow i will get the dimentions for you .

bloody hell mate !! they are stunning,, well done

[midnight 657]

thanks , i have added the correct measurments (they where right but i checked)

they feel better in the hand than they look so gotta be happy with them .

if you look at the tanto it has super subtle curves to the blade spine . thats from the water quench . its how all japanesse blades are done . the tanto and katanas are straight right up to the point they are quenched , as the hit the water they warp . this time i was lucky and got the subtle curve you would want !!! could have gon wrong and bannanad !!

tanto sold thanks
