Fire Snake
All the little details...
This is one of the most beautiful pieces I have seen! This is a valuable addition to any collection. The graceful elegance of this Tanto is going to make you say, "Wow!" The younger brother of the fierce Katana demands respect from both the martial artist and high-end collector. She's a dream you can hold as often as you like if only you're as quick as she is!
The decorative choilwork along the double offset guard lends beauty and function to this masterpiece of cutting art. The Snakewood handle is a superior specimen, the distinct pattern of red and gold 'scales' that give Snakewood its name are bright and clear. It is overlaid with Barry's Japanese Interlocking Wrap for comfort and extra gripping power.
Sleek and razor sharp, this beauty is an original creation in high contrast Damascus steel. The no-nonsense 10 1/4" blade is made from American forged ¼" high contrast Damascus steel and tempered with Barry's custom heat treat. This produces a tough, shock resistant blade with a superior edge holding capability. This heat treat has been painstakingly developed over the lifetime of Barry's 35+ years knifemaking career and is celebrated the world over for producing tough, battle ready blades. The offset guard is ergonomically designed for optimum blade control and hand protection.
This custom Tanto comes in a custom fitted and stitched black leather sheath, designed to be tucked securely inside the belt. Overall length is approximately 16".
