What kind of big blade would you like to see Christof make? Here's a couple that I have pondered:

- Cleaver
- Barong/parang/golok
- The Pitdog camp challenge knife

Anybody else?
 
+1. I've already pinged Christof about a Parang. He's kinda slow on the uptake....;)
 
I'm working on it, actually. The SEA (southeast asian) knives- 2 designs, one with a narrow spearpoint and one with a 45 degree angled straight clip.

Pah-rang.

Or is it Puh-rang?

Anyway, recurve or "S" blade with clipped end forming a short point. Blade length 12-14". 1/8" or 5/32" stock for some heft. Contoured handle for all-day cutting comfort. Lanyard tubes in the handle for and aft for different attachment points.

...14" blade. I think having a recurve allows one to keep one's knuckles out of the way more easily when cutting close to the ground or against a stump or root.

How's them thoughts?
 
I've got a newly arrived sheet of old 1/8 inch bandsaw blade in the shop. good stuff, I've used it before. should be good for about 8 blades like that.....
