Tanaka full tang western

I’ve been bad about posting on here. first off this thing is very cool. I didn’t even know they made these like this. It’s 210, VG10, amazing convex grind. I didn’t take any before pictures, but trust me, the fit and finish was rough. Anyways here’s it finished with maple burl and brass pins.

First time I’ve seen any sun for a while here in Seattle, nice timing

 

Beautiful! Love the wood.

Amazing work. Great job!

 

Such a nice looking job!
Solid attention to detail--so much better than stock--nicer looking but also better lines.

 

Great job!

 

Damn. I have a Tanaka in storage. I'm inspired. I've been bad about posting pics of my handle stuff to.

Great job.

 

Great job

 

Yes this is my handiwork. Time spent between keeping a family and running a business.
Thanks everyone

 

These western Tanaka’s are unicorns in my book. Solid usable grind, comfy western bolster with lots of potential if you fix em up right

 

Great job, looks way better than the stock handle!
