Hey guys,
I'm new here. I like knife centric forums a bit more than general purpose. I like to post at British blades and bushcraftusa , but bcusa doesn't focus on knives and British blades is great but the whole overseas issue does come in to play quite a bit when trying to do business.
I hope to post here for a long time and build a good rep, and I'm thinking maybe if I have a couple of quick transactions with some known members perhaps that can build up some trust.
Back to the point, I know I'll get hell for this but oh well.. I have two questions:
1. I own and really enjoy the BG Gerber parang (I know I know) but the design of the parang is ideal for me, I like its look and function quite a bit but I hate the handle. The take of the parang is similar to a style that ray mears uses in the jungles.
2. I have about 4 Gerber big rock knives that I enjoy using as beaters , I do think that these are great value for the price and function. We all have our nicer stuff, but these I like to punish and I don't feel bad if one breaks.
I'm looking for someone who does re-handling or re-scaling work that is affordable. I live in the states, so for a job on a budget like this I can't use British blades for due to the shipping cost and customs issues. I would love to talk about handling options with someone and check out there work.
I do apologize about the long post, but felt the need to explain myself a little. I would be very appreciative if anyone could suggest someone who might be ideal for this work so I can get a quote. I can already tell I'm going to love this forum and hopefully I can be here for a long time and befriend some of you.
