Here is a big boy tanto, this was ordered from what was at the time St nihonto Sheng. Again just like in the previous post like Simon Lee and Ryan Sword I DO NOT advise buying from there sellers for reason stated previously( am I bringing bad luck?) but in the case of Sheng he turned out to be very capable but also untrustworthy and a lazy scammer, this is unfortunate as he could really do well when he wanted to. let's move on to the beast
this was ordered a copy of a famous tanto with some changes, no horimono and slightly longer than the original. the copy below by Gassan Sadayoshi is what we based it on
I am not going to go in to details of customer service or time needed for the production and so on as it isn't really relevant any more and one should avoid this seller.
the blade was however made to exact spec and the habaki was also done correctly . the koshirae isn't much to talk about as I planned to redo it from the beginning here is an image of the future koshirae for you to feast on. I will avoid the gold samegawa and stick to simple white
enough chit chat here is the big boy, I have attached a picture with a large naoshi tanto see the difference in size particularly the habaki, it is the same size as the habaki on my dotanuki . hope you enjoy it
