templehound Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Lighter than a common parang but heavier than a machete this jungle knife, with a 250 mm long roller bearing blade (1.3505), has a copper ferrule and a 3-layer laminated Iron wood handle. The tang is riveted on the butt and overall length is 400 mm. The sheath is made from water buffalo leather and has a "horn mohawk" which protects the tip againts bumps and wear. The end of the belt strap is just pushed into that sewn, small compartment, it allows to remove the knife without opening the belt. Back drop is an India rubber mat, local product from our area, which has plenty of rubber plantations. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daswulf Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Beautiful chopper! Nice looking leather work as well. I always enjoy the backdrops and stories behind them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormcrow Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Such clean, meticulous craftsmanship, as always. And "Horn Mohawk" sounds like it should be the name of a death metal band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gergely Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Beautiful work, Templehound! Your blades always represent a very high level of aesthetics and somehow "push my buttons". This time I can feel the physical ache for making a parang of my own. (Not sure that's gonna happen ) And that sheath is awesome, too!
