I am a parang guy. Two Mini Dukus from Condor.

I also have/use their bushcraft parang and golok.

That's a great knife, but an awful sheath. A decent sheath will bring your knife alive.

What’s wrong with that sheath? Maybe I am biased because I had something similar done for a knife of mine.

You're looking at my replacement sheath. Look at the post I replied to to see the original Spyderco sheath, which is awful.

Take a look at the 1796 from Windlass. 16mm (5/8”) at the hilt! Would certainly make for a nice display piece.

I saw that number on MRL and Atlanta Cutlery's sites. It's a misprint in the marketing. I watched Schola Gladiatoria's (Matt Easton) preview video and he measured the blade at around 8.5mm at the guard, or just a hair over 5/16", which would be more in line with historical numbers. They also list the thickness as 1/64" near the tip, though Matt measured it at around 1.8mm, or a hair over 1/16". A saber 5/8" thick at the guard would indeed be a sight to behold though.

Ah, thanks! I double checked & It seems you're right. I'm probably gonna get that one myself, seems like a no-brainer at that price point.

I picked up a large DPX Gear fixed blade a while back, it's excellent.

Is it the Chop? I want one but have not pulled the trigger yet.

If you're just going to display it perhaps a Hattori Bowie (if you can get one) or if not the Fallkniven Thor (Hattori made). I love their convex edges, beautiful knives.
