Hello
I'm selling a used but great condition, used only a few times, never sharpened. $350.00. PayPal excepted. No trades.
It is made from 3.8 mm unground 01 carbon tool steel. This gives a more durable surface which helps prevent corrosion and also gives a fantastic edge holding ability plus the ease of sharpening that 01 carbon steel gives you.
This model has a textured green canvas micarta handle, the benefits of which are that it is completely inert to environmental change and the textured surface maintains a good grip even when wet ( other handles are available, please contact us for advice). The handle scales are held in place by brass Loveless style bolts, thong tube and industrial two part epoxy glue giving an extremely secure fit. The handle comes with paracord added which can be worn around the wrist to give additional security when making heavy chops.
The sheath is made from 3.5 mm - 4 mm leather and is hand-stitched in our normal manner using striking yellow thread. It has a welt made from very tough blocking leather (the leather used for the soles of shoes) to give the sheath extra rigidity. The sheath style itself is designed so that the blade can be drawn 'up and out' of the front of the sheath rather than have to draw it up the whole length of the sheath which can be very awkward. The parang is held in place with a leather flap and two press studs. It has a scandi-style dropper to allow for sufficient movement on the belt and also lowers it enough so that a rucksack can be worn comfortably at the same time. It has a lanyard hole at the base of the sheath so that it can be tied around the thigh to prevent too much lateral movement. From Ben Orford website.
