Hi All,
Here is a jap tanto with a wood scabbard based on the CRKT Hisshou profile. I had a go on something similar a while ago but not really satisfied by how it turned out so here is another attempt where I have tried to stick to an authentic Japanese design and finish. its a full tang 5.5mm stainless steel blade with mirror finish and teak grip and scabbard. dimensions: 6inch blade with 4.5inch grip.
do have a look! comments and suggestions are most welcome.

Great workmanship

How did you manage the high level of polished surface on the blade?

Tnx kshitij and briha sir.. The mirror finish is from the green steel polishing compound used after prepping the surface till 600grit.
