I just recieved my new tanto

Tanto by Kanemoto Signature: Kanemoto
Year Made: Late Koto (1500s)
Forging Pattern: Mokume
Tempering Pattern: Notare
Dimensions: Blade Length: 10 1/16", Negasa: 7", Mihaba: 13/16", Kasane: 1/4", Sori: Uchi-zori"
Mountings: Koshirae with one piece gold Habaki from the Edo period (1800s)
Condition: Koshirae and blade are in excellent condition. The mekugi is a male/female friction fit. This is a nice classic example of a woman's tanto in high quality understated mounts

Goose,I can't believe what great shape this beauty is in.Has this been redone in any way.It looks as if it was made yesterday.Wanna trade,my old lady is a great cook.How sharp is this bad boy.Thanks for sharing Goose!p.s. Did you get your orchid tanto yet?

First I have to say that is an increadible tanto Goose. I recently got a Ka-Bar Tanto #1245 and it was worth every penny. A bit long to carry but for home security it is great.

yes i got the orchid a while ago, that completes the orchid set. this new tanto completes my set of nihonto, the koshirae is from the 1800's , but the blade doesn't look like it was messed with too much, by that i mean it's not in fresh,fresh polish. but it ain't all dulled out or wore out.

i like the k-bar too i have restored some old abused k-bars i wouldn't have any other knife if lost in the wilderness you can trust-em with your life " literaly" they will pry/chop/cut/hack/saw/and hammer an all in one tool.
