Barker Small Tosa Fighter

For a while I’ve thought about scaling down my Tosa design. The full sized Tosa is just a big knife. It has a 6″ cutting edge and is 12″ long. It is a little large for most folks to EDC. I love the design and just wanted to make a more EDC friendly version. This is what I came up with. I’ve had this one finished for over a month now, but been so busythat I haven’t had a chance to take some pics till now. The blade is CPM S35VN in bead blast with gray and black G-10 scales. The cutting edge is 4 3/8″. The overall is about 9 1/4″. It is just over 3/16″ thick at the ricasso. It balances perfectly on the forefinger. This knife starts at $289.
