Parrish Survivor Hollow Handle

[AV8R]

You don't see these too often and it's just sitting, hidden away, so thought I'd post some pics. Made in 1984, never used. 8" blade and a beast of a knife. I'm the second owner.

Great piece of 'Hollow-Handled History'....thanks for the pictures.

That's great, I would like to know how he cut the teeth.

That's great, I would like to know how he cut the teeth.

Looks like he used a dovetail end mill to me, not positive though.

Thanks guys. The teeth appear very strong and don't seem like they'd weaken the blade at all, unlike most designs.

Thanks for putting this one up, I always like early pieces.

 

[AV8R]

Thanks Win. A lot of guys have never seen one of these. They were cool.

From what I have read, he was trying to get two rows of half teeth, one on each edge, but when he set up his jig, ended up with an additional row of full teeth running between the outer edges, and off-set between each tooth.
