Tanto and Sheath

Here it is again out of it's home. The 6.25 inch Blade is forged from train car spring of 1" dia and shows a nice wavy hamon. The wood is Chalk de Viga a hardwood from South America more specifically the Yukatan Peninsula. It is related to Pernumbuco but some has very nice figure as seen here. The color is natural and will darken with age to a darker red-orange. The blade and handle OAL is 13.5 inches. The OAL with sheath is 14.75 inches. A copper Habaki accents the blade and Water Buffalo Horn accents the handle and sheath.
