You did a very nice job on all those knives, very well done.
I have been collecting since 1972. Tapered tangs and distal tapering were considered the mark of quality. So it is what I look for and what I aim for. I certainly didn't mean to sound critical and apologize if I did.Howard1 Thank you. There's really no reason I haven't other than it's extra work many of my customers don't value. I have tapered some tangs, and have a few tapered tangs on my bench currently. What I do or don't do is a combination of my personal desire to make things with particular features and how as I reach more customers and the features they desire change, I learn and try new things to provide what they want.
