Pocket Tanto
I made one of these little chisel ground tantos with red jigged bone scales for myself about a month ago and then made the mistake of showing it to a couple buddies. The blade is roughly 2-1/2" long with a 5-1/2" overall length. This one has amber jigged bone scales and a lanyard hole per my buddy's request. This is only the fifth knife I have completed and I still basically have no clue. I was asked for a satin finish so I sanded it parallel to the spine with 400 grit and then gave it a light rubbing with white compound. The pocket sheath works just like a clip on a pocket knife but I am little worried that the knife will come out too easily after the leather breaks in. I have been working with files and an old 6x48 belt sander but I am looking forward to upgrading in the near future. Special thanks to BarryC for taking time out of his Saturday to help me properly heat treat several 1095 blades. This is one of them.

Good looking knife. You should be proud of that, especially with it being just your 5th one.
Reminds me of an old design that Phillip and I made years ago. You do have a clue __________________ Barry Jones Knives |

Nice job Robb! It has a nice feel and it is very sharp. Now you just have to get that grinder up and running and make more!
