This Tanto is a copy from an 18th century tanto I found on www.nihontoantiques.com. It is not forged, but made by stock removal from same White Paper steel blank as the previous knife.
You can see it on a small blade stand I made out scrap wood that was lying around.
Currently I am in the process of polishing it and making a new habaki, as I overground the first one, and the solder joint along the edge had a pretty unsightly groove on its top.
