Brian Posted January 19, 2014 Report Posted January 19, 2014 Like the shape of the tanto blade. Any way to dismount it, or is it semi permanent? Brian Quote
Fred Geyer Posted January 19, 2014 Author Report Posted January 19, 2014 No the blade does not come out, but is naginata shape and a thin temper. Has anyone out there seen another one like this?? Fred Geyer Quote
