Quote from Jacob Christian on July 27, 2024, 4:06 pmHello Everyone! Here is my progress on the shobu zukuri wootz tanto. This is part 1 of a multipart series. This build is getting the works! Not only a wootz tanto but also water quenched, with leopard stingray rawhide, brown Japanese silk, and buffalo horn fittings. The blade was also finished with Japanese water stones to bring out all of the beauty that I could.
