Not a Tanto shape on blade.
Nice work, cool metal work, just wonder how practical it is with both sudes taken up by the locking mechanism and the belt clip?

Tantō means "short sword", it's usage being piercing or stabbing. The chopped, angled chisel end we see on what we call tantō isn't true to the original meaning.
And, knowing this nutter, practicality and everyday use wasn't part of the plan with the Tinkers.
Steampunk junkyard excellence IMO.

He does do a superb job, even if zi have my reservations about the practicality.
But who needs to be practical 100 % ?

Yeah, the original tantos are a bit different from what most consider to be tantos, but I don't really want to go there and suffocate in semantics.
And yes, you are a bit right there too. I just wanted to make something shocking and somewhat unique. All other perspectives were secondary.
I like the 'visible' locking mechanism and the 'worked' look. It is very steam punk
Let's be honest, if you were wielding that you'd be wearing black leather gloves anyway
