I think there is a market for a 12"-13" Bolo/Parang in 3/16" steel.
I have been kicking around the idea using 5160 steel. (really economical) with a quick and dirty convex edge. No full height grinds on this one.
Something like a machete on steroids if you will. The 3/16" and bolo design would make it weight forward and IMO a great outdoors knife.
I might have to send some of my drawings and get a price on this from you if you would be willing to work 5160.
