Joe's Snake Tanto (Knife & Saya)

My then-14 year old son Joe came home from school with the rendered sketch of a tanto of his own design. I was so impressed with it that I used it as the guide for a blade for him (he also studied several martial arts, including sword).

This tanto features a Kris Cutlery acid-etched tanto blade with copper tsuba, fuchi and kashira, and hand-cast silver habaki and menuki. The samé is burgundy with white silk ito. The saya is spalted maple. The tanto is 17'' long overall, with a 10 1/2'' blade.

    Architecture and award-winning museum-quality custom handmade knives, edged weapons, powder horns, tomahawks, war clubs, jewelry, metal sculpture, cribbage boards, flint and obsidian knives, Japanese swords, menorahs, and more from Tucson, Arizona artist and architect Larry Gotkin.
