Stormcrow Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I've been working to get ready for the upcoming Denver Knife Show and the Usual Suspects Gathering, both happening in August, as well as working on commissions. It's kept me busy. :) Here's a mini-parang I'll be taking: Positioned a little differently in the light: The steel is my favorite, 5160, that has been triple normalized, triple hardened and triple tempered. The handle is a curved integral socket wrapped in hemp cord, with three-strand hemp cord Turk's head knots fore and aft. I tried something new, using West epoxy to impregnate the cord. I like the results very much and will definitely be using this more. The blade is 10 1/4" long, including the choil, and 2 1/2" at its widest. The spine thickness tapers from approximately 3/16" next to the handle to 1/8" at wide spot.. The overall length is 16 3/8". It shaves hair nicely. :) Here's how it looks in hand...or paw, as the case may be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikecopXXX Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 i'm a big fan of that "as-quenched" pattern on the steel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
