The Boom Parang Has Arrived

Love that thing! Holes in all the right places. Looks like it is very quick in the hand!

Seems to me that the grip is long enough to enable several grip positions: You could choke up for quick snap cuts, standard grip in the middle, or choke back against the flare for more powerful chops.

I'd say that's about right. My hands are somewhat large, so the handle may appear a little smaller than it would be for others.
 
The handle looks wonderful! I'm just not sure I'm sold on the blade. It looks smaller and not as tall as I had pictured in my mind. We shall see.

ETA - Plus, I still have a WTF, HogNose, BB13, Huck, and Huck Fin coming, and I don't plan to keep all of them...

The more I look at that handle, the more puzzled I become. That doesn't look much like those samples of the green canvas Jerry posted a while back (I would include that pic, but I don't know how). Is it the lighting, or the blade color, or a different batch, or something else...?

Maybe all of the above. How the material layers are cut affects the look.

AFAIK, this was the only pic of the green canvas...

Canvas always looks different in person and they most likely won't all look the same.
 
Just looking at these made me think. If you took off the scales, fashioned a different handle and used the forward most handle mounting hole, someone could probably be in the running for the world's largest straight razor.
