More mini-parangs

I finished up a few mid-tech mini-parangs recently.  These are made from blanks waterjet cut from 3/16" thick 80CrV2, then ground and heat treated by me.  Handles are TeroTuf with flared stainless steel tubing rivets.

 The blades are 9 3/4" long.

 

I weighed one before it went out to the customer.  21.8 ounces, or 1.36 pounds.  Not bad!  Balance feels good in the hand and the handle is both comfortable and plenty large for those of us with gorilla paws.  Lots of chopping power in a small overall package.
