Something different for a hunter in bear country. He asked for a Tanto with a 12 inch blade so this is what I have done to fulfil the commission. 4.3mm 1075 with scandi grind brass bolster and stabilised dark walnut handle. Beach wood scabbard with leather hanger.

lovely...personally I would like to see bigger bolster to ensure no show of hand slippage in a SHTF situation,,,heck a cutlass with hilt guard would be nearly enough...maybe..... Ive never slipped forward on a blade yet...But I do cringe when remembering the slice of blade the last time I stuffed up...its not a good feeling.
Slipping forward on the handle can be a concern but this bolster reaches to the depth of the forward finger so it would take a weak hold for it to be a problem and the slipage is usually compounded by resistance to the thrust and the point design and sharpness of this one makes that a non problem. Light lower handle notches also help with hand grip so I think that any potential problem has been taken care of but then I havent hunted bear or had to address an up close encounter with one either
Customer is happy.
all good,and it looks like a wickedly sharp bit of kit....
