Tenkiba - 1024-layer Folded Steel Tantou [3D Crossview]

While the tantou in this other photo look identical when sheathed, they're actually slightly different.

 

I ended up liking one better than the other. Its patterns were more complex and beautiful (reminding me of smoke), and it also had slightly better balance.

 

This is that favored blade. I call it Tenkiba -- "Heavenly Fang." =^.^=

 

I have other photos in 2D of this blade, which show the pattern in great detail. They be found here: #1, 2, 3, 4.
