Wally Hayes Japanese-Style Stingray Cord Wrapped Tanto Neck Knife (SOLD)

This Wally Hayes Japanese-style cord wrapped neck knife has never been used, but does show some minor kydex sheath rub and marks, and a light carbon spot or two.  It is made from 1/4" stock steel, and has a mirror polished chisel ground tanto-shaped blade, as sharp as only Wally Hayes can grind it.  There is a notched thumb ramp on the top of the blade, and notched index finger ramp on the bottom of the blade, for enhanced feel and control.  The handle has neutral-toned stingray skin under the cord wrapping.  The cutting edge is approximately 3" overall.   This is a stout little knife, that feels like it would go through a car door.  Super strong back-up or self-defense knife, weighing a mere 5.8 ounces with the sheath.  We've done some searching and have not been able to find a similar style knife from Wally, nor did the owner know the model name.  So we are not certain if there is a model name for this piece, or if it was a custom, one-off knife.

Condition:  Previously owned. Excellent condition. Blade has marks as noted.
                    Never used, carried, or sharpened.
