Rodan Tang Picture

[PayetteRucker]

under that bulbous plastic handle, what kind of tang will I find for the Rodan? I'd like to make my own micarta scales if it has a tang that will allow me to do so.

Use a magnet to test out the limits of the tang...

It's probably pretty beefy. It's nicely balanced in-hand.

Hey Payette, I changed the title of the thread in case anyone is looking for it. I hope you don't mind! Here is a picture.

Thanks for posting that Joe. I was wondering the same thing. I do however really like the handle that it has. Fits my big hand just right.:thumbup:

Well, it may not be full to the butt, but it's close enough to be very strong. I want one (but you knew that).

Oh wow...the grinds on that are a TON more crisp than on mine...are those second production run or something?

Is there a standard blade thickness on these?
My 2 were way different. One was 1/8" the other was 5/32".
I'd still like to get a 3/16" thick model.

The steel thickness varies a bit at the moment, due to production processes. I believe that they're working on remedying it though.

 

[Joezilla]

It should be 5/32. If you do not like the 1/8th, you can probably send it back.

Yep, those are 2nd production run.

 

[Tenbeers]

The 1/8" one is much lighter than the other.
I'm gonna keep it just to compare the 2 in use.

I've done some around the house cutting with these. I really like the handle.

If it will stop raining for a few days I plan to get some outdoor usage going.

Thanks much joe, as usual you're the man.
